The kit doesn't come with a servo saver, and to be honest most people don't bother with them. Some people do use the Kimbrough small servo saver if there servos don't have metal gears.

oops I meant to reply to this last night.

The kit doesnt come with a servo saver as such, like mr.preddy says, but the white servo horn on the servo (that comes with the kit) acts as a servo saver.
Its very flexible and absorbs a lot of impacts. but like a lot of cars you'd still need a metal geared servo. The BJ4x4 doesnt have a saver either, but the servo horn on that car is a lot stiffer - still if you have a decent servo it will be OK.

I don't run a saver either on my KO 2123 and use a KO stiff arm with no problems.

since I posted here a while ago I did buy one. it is actually working well. the problem was that the servo head that I was using was a bit worn. So, I put a piece of tissue in there to tighten it and add some friction on the front one.

then on the back I just put a tight servo saver and now there are never any problems.

before the car would hit something and then the servo would be so out of whack that I would have to stop racing. that really sucked.

untill next time.
