Hot? Racing....should be NOT Racing!!

[*420+3RC*]

So been having some extra slop. More than the normal. Thought no biggie servo is getting weak or maybe even the new aluminum Hot Racing aluminum servo saver. So instead of thinking I know and just removing the servo. I took the entire mount out. Easier anyways. But this is what I found. The damn link I guess have worn itself out so fast and so bad that the only thing that was keeping it attached to the servo what's the combination of the screw which is actually too small to hold it on there itself and being connected to the steering crank. Come on it's probably been just a handful of packs since installed

Was there no washer to sit under the screw head and keep it attached? Pretty sure there's supposed to be a washer there.

Put a washer under the screw to hold it on.

HR is not all that. Bling yes. About all it is in many cases. Many have done this. So I never chanced any Servo HR parts. Stay with Stock.
A metal ball against an alloy end is a recipe for accelerated wear/slop. I woud also use a Kimbrough HD SS instead. Not fancy but cheaper and will perform. Hope I understood your issue. Maybe a washer missing like stated??? IDK.
Just me.

No sir.. not this time lol. But it's all good I've got some washers laying around. It never dawned on me when I was putting the thing in.

Will do

Never even thought about the pivot ball being metal against that softer aluminum. Especially with all the dirt and whatever that gets in. At least this time it was a very cheap mistake

Yep slap a washer on the screw and maybe just use a stock plastic pivot ball and should be good to go for a while
