MOUNTING THE SERVO

Secure the servo to the 
#8435 blocks with four 
#4145 screws and four 
#7337 #4 washers.

DRILL SERVO SAVER

Use your #34 or 3/32" drill 
bit to carefully drill the two 
mounting holes for the 
#4448 ball ends.

ASSEMBLING THE 
SERVO SAVER

Thread two #4448 ball ends 
into the front side of the 
#8445 servo saver. Secure 
the ball ends with the 
#4449 locknuts.
Try the three #8445 
adapters on the servo until 
you find one that fits. Push 
that adapter into the servo 
saver.

MOUNTING THE SERVO ASSEMBLY

Mount the servo saver to the servo with 
the #3760 screw. 

Note:

 If you have a 

metal gear servo, use the stock 
mounting screw. 
If necessary, drill the chassis holes for 
your servo mounting blocks with a drill 
bit. We strongly recommend using 82 
deg. countersink (or the tip of a 1/4" drill 
bit).
Mount the servo mounting blocks to the 
chassis with two #6292 screws. If you 
have more than one set of holes, use 
the forward holes.

STEERING LINKAGE

Install the plastic ball cups onto the steering turnbuckles. The 
dimension from ball cup to ball cup differs between 1:10 kits. 
Refer to your manual for the correct dimension.
Snap one ball cup onto the ball end on the servo saver. Snap 
the opposite end on as shown. Install both turnbuckles.
When you are adjusting your turnbuckles, always make sure 
that the servo saver is pointing straight down.
