Hi
i used this one
http://demonpowerproducts.co.uk/product_info.php/kimbrough-kp113-servo-saver-splines-for-sanwa-spektr-p-279
you need to raise the servo slightly to get clearance off the chasssis but its
better than the stock one, or the x ray,as there springs become weak

I use a futaba 9650 in both mini 8s and use kimbrough servo savers on them as do everyone else at our track

If your servo is slim and the bottom of the kimbrough servo saver touches the chassis then just cut it off with some snips or a dremmel,
It's only the splines and top part that's needed,

Also with kimbrough cut off the 2 top corners leaving the 1 hole in the middle at the top,

thanks for replies so far...dug out a servo saver earlier n fits on fine but the dimensions on the ko949 is too big for the supplied bracket by a few mm...does the 9650 and savox 1257mg fit into the bracket or are other ways being done to mount them.....cheers

I used this in mine and it was nothing short of excellent. Slight dremelling of brackets was needed but very easy to do.

Bargain too.
