[Saltystevo]

I use the rubber grommets.

With the metal tubes that came with savox?

Yes sir.

 

[Saltystevo]

I am and no problems.

Bolted straight down or rubber with metal tubes?

 

[slick2500]

I didn't yet. In Florida till this weekend.
So use the rubber with metal tubes going through? I wasn't sure if people were bolting servos down without the rubber

Oh no you don't need the rubbers or the metal things. The rubber things were a carry over from nitro vehicles, it was supposed to reduce the vibration of the engine from transferring into the servo.

Straight down. And I beat the hell out of that 3s truck and it cones back for more.

Any tips on adjusting steering components? What screws get tighten down, what needs loctite, etc?
Also how do you set you steering trim?
This I think is my first step to solving my issur

No locktite is needed unless ur screwing into metal. Just install servo, tighten in a crisscross pattern, center the servo and have fun.

Do you mean endpoints? The steering trim is adjusted via the ST knob on the transmitter. If endpoints it is in the manual I forget what page.

Haha, sorry, yes endpoints I meant.
How far do you go to left or right before it's to much?

Just until the wheels stop turning. Make sure and check that the linkages aren't binding or touching the body or chassis.

Yeah adjust it until the servo arm stops moving then back it off one or two clicks just to be safe. That is what I do.

OK I stopped right before the servo saver started to split.
Is the anything in the turning arms where it's mounted that doesn't get tightened?
From what I saw everything is rolling on bearings.

I think about the only thing I didn't get gutentight was these step screws in the steering rack I also put some blue thread lock on them as they kept working themselves loose. I had to leave them just snug otherwise it would bind up the steering rack. The AR340062 not the AR721308.

Me too.

 

[slick2500]

Me too.

I was adjusting the end points on my D8T and I was able to adjust the steering on that until the wheels hit the a arms. I am sure if I took the wheels off it could have even gone further out. I think I was at 134% when it hit the wheels.

What do you guys use for glue on the screws going into plastic?

How are you able to tell the percentage?

Glue on screws?? No glue.

 

[Saltystevo]

Glue on screws?? No glue.

Can't use loctite so I thought there was something else used

 

[slick2500]

Nope, if the screw doesn't stay in the plastic it needs to be replaced most likely.

 

[slick2500]

You could use CA glue but don't expect it to come out or go back in again.
