Check out the links in the description, I always include links to the installed parts and I include links to many items of my kit. I get lots of messages about part numbers and where I purchased something - it's always in the description!

Justin to clear up the difference in plastic adapters that come with the kit, if you look on the back you will see small letters on them and they correspond to the tooth number. 23 tooth has K, S and J stamped on it for KO, Sanwa, JR. 24 tooth has H for Hitec. 25 tooth has F for Futaba. It doesn't matter what brand it is i just wanted to add what the letters corresponded with, whats important is knowing what the spline count of your new servo is.

I've never had an issue since installing them. I haven't gotten around to the bellcrank yet but im probably going to tear her all the way down for a good maintenance soon.

Thanks for sharing this valuable information. Sometimes it's like a puzzle but your video helps those of us who are just starting out with upgrades. Awesome video. 👍

Thank you. I’ve been trying to get that servo saver on for a while now!! Watching you struggle was rather satisfying as I too struggled with it lolol. Glad you figured it out though.

Willing to struggle, I think that's my KZread brand 🤣. Next is the bell crank, that should be a just as satisfying for you lol

After watching your entire video which was helpful I feel that maybe you may have learned more from it than I did . Don't give up though !

That's the one thing Arrma could have made more user friendly...Servo & Bellcrank upgrades. Everything else pretty simple, but these 2 things are like pulling a bad molar.

Great video bro, because my stock servo just shit the bed on me. But i ordered a 25kg and this will make it much easier to install my servo.

The brand is Feetech FT5330M, and they're all metal servos.. at least the 35KG is.. I doubt it's 35kg, and they're kinda slow, but still better than most hobby RTR's, I put a Reef's 299LP in my Arrma Senton 3S, it's fast! :)

Nice vid. I have the 25kg servo on my desk. Waiting on a 25T saver to come in stock. I see yours is 270 degree. Did you have to flip the steer button for left/right? I'm sure you know, but for those that don't make sure you set end points.

Hmm, now you have me intrigued lol. I purchased a 180 degree servo, infact I just double checked the order. I'm going to double check the servo 😎. But to answer your question directly, I didn't have to reverse the steering and I definitely did reset the end points.

Similar situation. I bought my son an Arrma Granite Brushless. He ran it for 2 days and the stock steering servo went out. No response from the controller. We went to the local hobby store purchased a new upgraded servo and installed it. Truck has worked fine ever since. I don’t think the stock servo has enough torque if you run the truck in the grass.

Hi, can you link the name of the servo horn? The new big rock and granite have horn with 23t instead 25, i am looking fo the old v2 horn (code 25T - Ar340151) but is difficoult find it

@kylegeldmaker

The one I used is the Hot Racing horn (there's a link in the description). The main reason I did that is basically because the issue you're having. There's way more 25t servos and horn available. Swapping to a 25kg 25t servo really opens up the options.

Hi i hope you see this comment. I have a big rock v3 and it has a stock 23 tooth servo. When i get this cheap red 25kg amazon servo is it 25 tooth? Is that why the hot racing horn in nesecarry? Justy trying to understand. Tysm either wayt.

Basically yes, if you don't drop in a servo with the correct spline count then you'll need to replace both components. I wasnt able to find any drop in replacements for the Spektrum (S651 I believe) so I picked up a whole hit racing assembly. Its worked ever since I installed it without any issues. I keep meaning to make a video replacing the stock steering rack but it's never down for repair 😁

The Hot racing one may be iffy. I’ve heard the basic Traxxas plastic one works and same for Kimbrough savers. You can see a bunch on servocity website as well. My brand new big rock servo got stuck turning it Right only and now I have to take it apart and see if the servo saver is dead or if the threads just jumped to the right. Arrma has been selling garbage servo for years and I’m seriously disappointed to have to even do this after only 2 packs.

I would say there's probably better things to spend your money on, but, the beauty of RC tinkering is the parts will fit other models. If it were me, I'd probably buy a 20-30 servo and spend the other $100 on maintenance items or possibly a motor/esc upgrade. Maybe even some wheels/tires.
