Servo Saver Assembly: Keep Your Ride Smooth

Is your Shogun, Ninja, or Katana IMX16720 feeling a bit rough around the edges? A worn-out servo saver can cause all sorts of steering woes, from jerky movements to a complete lack of control. Luckily, replacing the servo saver assembly is a relatively straightforward fix, and can make a world of difference in your model's handling. This guide will help you understand why this part is so important and what you can expect when replacing it.

Why a Servo Saver Matters

The servo saver is a critical component that protects your servo from damage. It acts as a shock absorber for your steering system, absorbing impacts and preventing the servo from stripping its gears. Without a functioning servo saver, a crash or other sudden force can instantly ruin your servo, leading to costly repairs. It also helps maintain precise steering.

Signs Your Servo Saver Needs Replacing

• Loose Steering: Excessive play in the steering linkages.
• Inconsistent Response: Steering that feels unpredictable or sluggish.
• Servo Noise: Grinding or clicking sounds coming from the servo area.
• Difficulty Steering Straight: The model constantly veers to one side.

Replacing the Assembly

Replacing the servo saver assembly on your Shogun, Ninja, or Katana IMX16720 is a relatively easy job. Be sure to consult your model’s manual for precise instructions. But generally, you'll need to remove the old assembly, making sure you have the proper tools. A new servo saver should improve handling and prolong the life of your servo.

By replacing your servo saver, you're ensuring your model is ready to take on whatever the track or terrain throws its way!
