Need New Servo!

After racing on the track all weekend, I blew a shock, and it sounds like I brock a gear inside the stock servo. I have not pulled it appart to see the problem but I did find a link to RC Hobby Explosion that have a servo upgrade they say fits. Has anyone used this servo or know if it is a clean swap out with the stock servo? I am not looking to do any customizing yet with my truck other than the factory bolt on upgrades.

i can't find any torque specs for that servo and i imagine if they were any good they would publish them. the hitec hs-56hb will drop in, but it took me a few minutes to figure out the best method for mounting. i used the supplied mounting blocks vs the stock clamp mount. you will also need one of these: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/23936

heres the servo: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/23936

the 56 is Waaaaaaay better than the stock servo! another option is the even stronger hs-65mg. it's not "drop in" either, but only requires a very slight filing of the stock clamp mount. (the 65 also requires the servo saver)

Noob Question

I am just getting into the RC offroad sport and I heard about servo saver kits but I have no idea what it is. From the look of whats in the parts kit you linked to, I seem to already have this on my servo. What exactly is a servo saver and, aside from saving the servo, what does it do?

If you hit your wheels the servo saver absorbs the shock and helps prevent the servo from stripping its gears.
