Cool! Finally the chassis is on its way. I have been keeping my fingers crossed for so long, they are now permanently twisted
Pro-Z can I ask regarding the servo saver illustrated in your website, how effective is it? I mean will it give way easily? Or it takes a major impact before actuating the saver? Since the saver is not self-centering, I wouldn't want the front wheels to be turned to either sides after every impact with a wall or another Z, especially during a race. Do you have any plans to engineer a proper spring-loaded saver specifically designed to work with microservos (such as the HS50 or 55)?
How about other Pro-Z owners? Wanna share with us soon-to-be owners how you tackled the servo saver issues, that is if u chose not to use the stock servo/electronics?
Buzz - I had initially used a spring on the servo saver this was to soft and yes gave way a little to easy. I am now using a tiny rubber O-ring the ones used under the t-bar. This has more grip and still gives before the gear stripes. I also took a hobby knife and put fine splines in the back of the servo saver and on the front of the servo itself. This lets the gear have something to bite into.
No plans on producing a servo saver myself yet. The next thing on the checklist for Pro-Z is protecting my work. Step Mom has her own law firm and I'm meeting with her pattern attorney to draw up the paper work.
I also tried emailing Liquid Z- I wanted to buy the complete Liquid Z front end set-up for a scratch-built car I'm making. He has the seperate part numbers listed on his website.
Never heard a thing back from him either, so I ended up ordering a complete Kawada front end instead. Should be here in a week or so...
