    Is it fitted with a servo saver? Prolly is. (Should be.) Is it adjustable? Maybe needs a tightening...

    A third possible cause to check would be if the splines (teeth) of the servo shaft are worn allowing the servo arm or servo saver to slip and jump teeth when under load.

    Thats the one I was getting to..
    I just wanted to know what he was doing to right the issue before suggesting that.
    I see that problem happening quite a lot at our weekly indoor races when drivers bang into the hoses. :rolleyes:

    If you have a spare servo just throw it in and give it a run. See if the same thing happens or not. Process of elimination :D

    The Flyer's often talk about metal gears being much better than plastic, in Servos .... is it the same with cars? ..... :confused:

    Not quite what they claim them to be, but nevertheless good enough for a steering servo.

    Great value for money I agree.

    All I'm saying is that the specs are slightly exaggerated.

    Cheers, reason I was asking was to put it in the trottle/brake of the t-maxx, brakes are knackered.
