Which servo saver to use with traxxas 2056?

None. Use a solid aluminum servo horn. "thumbsup"

+1.
Best bet is a clamping style aluminum servo arm.
The GHracing (AKA, Golden Horizons racing) is about the cheapest and it works well.
Robitronics is top of the line, but costs a little more.
I used an Integy (?) and it sucked. I now run the GHracing unit and have had no issues on a HiTec 7950 servo.8)
With the huge amount of parts on ebay I am having trouble finding exactly what I need, could you reference a part number or link to the product? Is this what I need?

Thanks
Also how does it "save" the servo?

Yes, any 25 spline horn (like one that fits Futaba) will work.
A servo saver will help protect the servo, but you will lose torque being delivered to turn the wheels by using one.

Re: Which servo saver to use with Traxxas 2056?
OP, servo savers are great for "high shock load applications" like "go-fasts".
In crawlers, there are limited shock loads to a steering servo. Thus, not an issue.
More likely, you "want" to "move a rock" but a servo saver will piss away most of the torque through the "SS".
That is why 99.9% of crawlers WILL NOT use a SS.
In my carpet & dirt rigs, the steering is "low torque" and thus no/limited power is lost through a "SS".
For crawlers, you WILL strip out the servo arm splines over time if they are crap.
Thus my recommendations.

Thanks for the advice. My wheely king is running a 13t Brushless, steel tranny gears, steel driveshafts, rear LSD and the stock 6 Inch tyres, it is a bit of a basher thats why I am considering a servo saver. Do you think it is neccessary for my rig? I have the servo mounted on the front diff. I bought some alloy steering linkages, but I decided to keep the plastic ones for now as they themselves are servo savers in a way because they do flex quite a bit.
Thanks for the advice.
