If you take apart your stock servo saver and remove the spring you can fill in the spring cavity with some RTV silicone. Reinstall the spring and snap the servo saver back together. Let the silicone cure overnight. Almost free mod and it gives the saver a much stiffer feel but still has some give for those bad landings and hard impacts.

how do you take the stock saver apart? i tried the kimber servo saver and still having the same problems. id like to try filling the og saver with grease but dont wanna break it taking it apart.

@christopheranderson6931 3 ай бұрын

This method only works if you can manage to get the spring back in after you remove it. I've been trying for a week to do so, with no success.

Well explained Chris. Cheers for the mention. Yes I can also confirm that this is a bit of a must do mod and it does transform the steering (although I did use that Hot Racing one in the end). I didn't really have an issue with my 3s cars but the huge tyres on these 4s ones are too much for that stock servo saver. I am a bit tempted to get the 4s Kraton to go alongside my Outcast although I'm trying not to spend much money 😬. Cheers for now 😁👍👍

@ChriswithaCrc 5 ай бұрын

Hey Pete buddy , Thanks so much for the support really does mean alot . Thanks for letting the guys know and verify what i said buddy. Hmmm yeah not massively essential with the 3s trucks but hey in for the penny and in for the pound ! , As you say the 4s trucks weight is a complete disadvantage with the standard servo savers . Hey buddy i really think you will love the Kraton , ive got to say ive fallen in love with mine , this new differential has made the truck feel amazing in the corners and give you some slip and tuning capabilities . Go on treat yourself you know your worth it my friend . Keep up the amazing work your my Yoda ! Stay awesome Chris :)

Hi, at first I did the same thing, but I think the better solution is to open the servo saver and swap the Kimbrought spring with the Arrma spring

its more to do with the slack in the steering with the stock servo saver buddy . Doing this upgrade with make the steering alot more positive . Stay awesome Chris :)

@johnd9357 3 ай бұрын

So I did this mod to my Kraton v2.5 as well. It is SO much better in terms of steering, but unfortunately the servo saver has some slop. So you either have to deal with a sloppy servo saver that actually allows you to turn, or use the stock one that has no slop but the steering sucks. It seems there’s no perfect solution. However I will say that this mod is super easy and well worth it, even with the slop. Shell out 9 dollars and you can actually steer your Kraton.

Hey, thanks for trying out the mod on your Kraton too! The struggle between steering and slop is real, right? Stay awesome Chris :)

Just finished replacing the stock servo saver with the KP124. One thing I noticed is that the stock servo saver is much wider than the KP124. Therefore the machine screw holding the stock one to the servo is too long for the upgrade. Had to chop off a good 3/8" at least in order for it to fit the KP124. Not pleased. Was hoping for a smoother transition.

@ChriswithaCrc 5 ай бұрын

Hmmmmm that should not be the case at all buddy as the Kimbourgh servo saver you need to shave down for it to fit or maybe I’m reading it wrong . Look forward to hearing from you buddy . Stay awesome Chris 🤙🚀🔥🚀🤙🚀🔥

@MrKen-sj5qi 5 ай бұрын

Okay, this is what I meant. The depth, or if you prefer, the thickness of the KP 124 servo saver is much narrower than the stock one. Once the new KP 124 is installed, the machine screw which held in the stock one is too long for the aftermarket item. Not a big deal, but just thought it was worth mentioning. I would send a photo along, but not sure how to on KZfaq. Maybe I will send it on the ArrmaForum. (at least you will be able to visualize what I mean) Keep up the good work, Chris...
