Servo savers

Plenty of people here on the forum use servo savers and I've seen mixed reviews about using them on crawlers. From what I gather, they're great if your rig repeatedly takes dives and hard hits that can damage servo gears, but I've never used one on a crawler. If you're considering one for the stock servos, be my guest, but I would suggest putting the money toward some metal gear servos instead.

Servo savers are great when used in faster car or truck.
When your basshing session look like this:

I had to upgrade mine in my Losi LST...

But in a crawler I guess that they wont be that necessary.

The best thing to do is going for, is full metal geared servos and maybe aluminium servo horns , I still have to check on that part for my RS10....

Exactly. Aluminum servo horns make a lot of difference. If anyone adds a nice servo/aluminum horn, some aluminum steering knuckles, and a good strong set of steering links, they'll wonder why they didn't do it sooner. The extra stiffness in your steering is nice.
