Im done with breaking the stock lower plastic servo saver and losing my race. I'm now running Jammin X2 pro buggy servo savers , including the posts and it fits perfectly. Yes, the Jammin x2 pro servo saver installed with the adjustment nut on the top as opposed to the traditional nut on the bottom , fits as OEM replacement and the plastic is much stronger than this aluminum setup. look on e-bay for my alu ones if you think I'm kidding :) This product itself is top notch , the problem is teh weak plastic lower part of the save that is the race ender and you guessed it, the ofna/Jammin one uses a different hex engagement and different slope so you can't use this part.

for such a awesome CNC job done on these and all the other factory team matrix red ALUM parts they should be hard anodized, the red looks cool i guess but isnt even close to being tough as hard anodized. Like i said the milling on all these parts is 2nd to none (a little over priced though) everything fits perfect because its OEM. if you have a matrix FTE you should add the red CNC ALUM parts as fallows rear hubs, front C hubs, front and rear shock towers, knuckles (if you have broke the stock ones there CNC too just not red) front upper brace and the steering servo saver arm . no need to do the radio tray or diff cover as they add about 20 grams over the graphite parts and will do nothing for the car other then looks. the front upper brace is not just for looks it will make the steering much more responsive and makes the front much more ridged (cuts down on the side to side front end flex) in total you will add about 2 1/2 OZ's to your ride (4 if you put the radio tray and diff cover) but the gains are outstanding you will be much less likely to break your car will handle better as theres less flex everywhere, it looks good (still wish it was hard anodized) the only down fall to these parts is.... it will cost you (without the radio and diff cover) 291.00 to do those upgrades. I did it for $hi!s and giggles andwas impressed with the out come is i worth 291.00 well.......yes and no.... if you already have good servos and good motor and a good radio system and a nice supply of tires and need something to spend your money on to better your car....if you dont have one of the listed maybe you should get it first. these upgrades are NOT just eye candy they will help you turn faster lap times and they will help you finish races and look good at the same time. the sight weight gain is not much the durability gains are OUTSTANDING the handling gains are VERY GOOD the bling gains (for those who care about that, (i dont care how it looks as long as it helps me get around the track) are sweet (still wish it was hard anodized for even more durability) is there better upgrades for this car......yes a ture race motor if you dont have one...a nice aray of tires.....a good radio with lots of needed adjustments....and extra parts.... like i said before if you have those and want to spend money you cant go wrong with these little gems. CEN if you read this! MAKE THEM IN HARD ANODIZED TOO!!!

How exacly does one set the stiffness on this? I think I had mine set to stiff and had to rebuild the gears in my servo. Or would this not cause the gears to break? I understand to reason behind this peice just wondering how to properly set the stiffness. I do have this part on my Matrix TR and have had some really bad crashes and it hasn't broke so it does its job.
