Schumacher Cougar SV Pro - Help please?

[Jesse James]

Hi Guys,

First time out last night with my Schumacher Cougar SV Pro and had a few problems with the steering end of things.

The buggy came factory assembled and included plastic servo horns.

Duly fitted servo and plastic horn but even with relatively low speed impacts the teeth on the horns kept stripping. Steering ackerman and linkages all free.

There isn't a servo saver fitted so going to have a look to see if one is available.

Should I just fit a metal servo horn or is a servo saver a must?

Fitted Savox 1268 and Ace DS1015 as had both these spare from my nitro buggy. I know that these are both really overkill for electric 2WD, does this also have something to do with stripping the servo horn teeth?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Steve.

Just fit a alloy servo horn and won't have that issue again.

Thanks for the advice, will give that a go.

Do you know if it is possible to fit a servo saver to the Cougar SV or is it not really required?

Not required as you running powerful servo.

Make sure you use the correct servo horn. Personally, I've never had an issue, and my cougar has the original horn on it from when the kit was built.
