The Sledge Servo Saver is engineered to handle the massive forces generated by the truck's 1/8 scale tires and 6S power system. When the front tires hit a rock or land sideways from a jump, the internal spring in the 9545 "gives" momentarily, absorbing the energy that would otherwise strip the teeth off your steering servo.
Detailed Technical Specifications
1. High-Tension Spring System
-
Optimized Steering Feel: Unlike smaller 1/10 scale savers, the Sledge version uses a high-rate spring. This ensures the steering remains "tight" and responsive at high speeds, only engaging the "save" function during extreme impacts.
-
Consistency: The assembly is designed to return to center perfectly, ensuring your trim settings remain accurate throughout your run.
2. Reinforced Composite Construction
-
"Sledge-Tough" Material: Molded from Traxxas' proprietary heavy-duty plastic, these bellcrank arms are built to resist flexing under the high-torque load of the steering servo.
-
Low-Friction Pivot: Designed to work in conjunction with high-quality bearings (sold separately) to provide a smooth, bind-free steering arc.
3. Precision "Zero-Slop" Fitment
-
OEM Integration: As a genuine Traxxas part, it features exact tolerances for the Sledge steering posts. This eliminates the "steering wander" often found in lower-quality or worn-out steering assemblies.
-
Integrated Linkage Mounts: Includes reinforced mounting points for the steering drag link and turnbuckles.
