Default returneee

Well, I returned to Schuey at the weekend using the CAT SX2 at the Ardent winter series.

I had electical problems most of the day followed by a broken servo so had to use a less powerful version for the end of the day, which made turning through tight corners somewhat of a problem . But when the car was running well it was awesome. So easy to drive. I don't know what I've been missing for the last year and a half!

Can't wait to get it to worksop in Jan now!

One question.
Why don't people use servo saver on them?

Blimey didn't expect you back with Schumacher, why the change?

I sold my SX at the weekend and now thinking

Ran a Savox 1258 in my SX and it was brilliant, had lots of probs with my Sanwa, but that's because it's slightly too small for the mountings.

Got it as well - good specs and works great even without servo saver - I've just been using lower hole on servo horn.
Might would consider getting GM servo with same specs nowdays.

I broke 1 servo arm crashing at kiddy during a practice day. I'm now more comfortable with the car, I crash less, never broke anything since.

Everyone I know who's bought a SX2 has now replaced the steering rack with the alloy upgrade since this breaks first it seems.

I have the alloy arms. If I can't get a servo saver working right, then I may consider fitting the plastic steering, just to save a £60 servo.

I did run one on the replacement servo, but it was an old one, and i think it was just a bit to soft and couldn't hold the turning forces. So a stronger saver may work.

Wasn't getting on with the Durango, a bit too agressive for me. Had a go with a mates CAT and it was a no brainer really. Suited my driving better.

I agree, the durango is very well engineered but you have to be a engineer to get it running right. My cat and cougar are smooooth as silk

Without shooting myself in the foot a metal geared servo is the way forward just make sure you choose the right one................there are a few that are not perfect and will cause you problems stick with what most people use!
