From what I've been told, if you have a solid servo (with metal gears, if possible) you don't really need a servo saver for it. I plan to put an HS-645MG in my MRC Pro when it gets here and will just use one of the arms that comes with it.

the best thing to do with the servo saver is to take it off, light it on fire, melt it, and never worry about it again haha

The servo-saver is just a coil spring that sits between the servo and the horn. If you're doing 90mph and the right tire hits a rock, that shock-load is taken by the spring instead of the servo's gears - if any force exceeds the spring, the horn twists without affecting the servo. Crawlers generally don't want them, because that relationship works both ways. If any force exceeds the spring, the servo can twist without steering the tires. You'll hear the servo twisting back and forth as you desire, but the tires don't shift at all - the spring is preventing it. |

I like the servo saver...it is just like driving my 1:1 without hydro assist...makes backing up mandatory, just to turn the wheels.
