I have been adding some RTV Silicone inside my servo savers to take up some of the spring "air space". Seems to help increase the overall spring rate a bit.

Interesting idea. How did you open them?

the center is like a snap lock..pop that apart and it should come apart ;)

good idea Jay

i've been doing that for years man...

Maybe that is what I need to do. I bought some brand new Ofna servo savers (part # 10760) and they don't work worth a darn. I was told to use these by TTR and he said that they were the strongest, but they are just not working on mine.

Thanks for the input, I will try this out. I personally like the Goop (marine or RV type) it stays more flexible than some of the other silicone I have used.

you could either use something like rtv which 'squishes' a tad, or put in some epoxy or the like on a certain length of the spring to reduce the amount of travel.
