servo saver has a mind of its own

[kryptonite]

whats the cure for a slipping stearing servo saver? on both my rigs they come lose after making just a few turns. hasnt happened before but i had them both apart and now they wont stay tight and just back out.


-thread lock?


-or is something else the problem, like mounting screws too tight?

I've had mine apart a couple of times but can still barely turn them when they're in place...I guess thread lock will fix it...did they seem sloppy on the threads when you put them back together?

ya its kinda lose on the threads. i can twist it with my fingure till its tight, but then i watch it losen right back up when i turn the wheel. is their a certain part that is stationary? couse my servo saver moves the spring and losens the blue nut. i was just thinking that i did something wrong couse both were fine and now they both suck!

I turned mine down a little and then put a zip-tie around the threaded shaft, it still allows the saver to work well and doesn't let it back all the way up and I still have plenty of steering. Well, at least that's how a "HACK" would do it

oh my.. such a hack!! does that boat even float with all the duct tape?? jk. i was just seeing if i was the only one. im going to try loc-tite first.. was thinking red, but im don't want another "rim" accedent.

use blue...I now blue my wheel nuts on with a big gob of it and haven't had a wheel come off since and they don't come loose...red is not your friend
