Tamiya Blackfoot Servo Non-Saver

thingiverse

This is a substitute for the Blackfoot's servo saver. I have called it Non-Saver as it does not flex and could destroy your servo upon an impact. So you need to consider if you are willing to take that risk. For me personally I take the chance for two reasons. One : without this mod the steering of the Blackfoot in something like grass is sometimes non-existent. It's huge wheels make the original saver bend and stretch before it as much as thinks about turning one degree. Which can lead to problems all by itself. And two : today's servos seem to be a bit sturdier than the old ones and cheaper as well. Using this part, the steering of my trusty stomper became much more direct and predictable. Ole footsie will always have a mind of its own but at least you can nudge it in the right direction at will.
