Ruckus servo saver upgrade

[CharlieG561]

I recently purchased the ECX brand servo saver blue anodized upgrade kit. I can't seem to get it installed. Does anyone have an instruction manual on installing the kit? (Pics available upon request)

4wd new style ruckus

@CharlieG561 I'm guessing you have the 1/10th 4WD ECX Ruckus and not the 1/18 or 1/24th 4WD Ruckus?

If that's the case then I'm also guessing you bought the ECX331009 servo saver?

If all that's correct then here is a picture on how your servo saver is to be assembled.

It is how its should look like in real world. Keep in mind servo horn is also not stock.

Where'd you get the servo (horn) arm? I can't seem to find them anywhere

Mine is set the same way but I put a spacer in-between to try and raise the arm so it would rub. It only does it when I turn left. Could it be because my servo turns too far? Or that the service arm (horn) is too far up or .?

I also have a servox servo installed

The other thread I posted is where I'm having a problem now. I got it installed already

I have this servo horn (sorry, if I violate any forum rule with this):

I installed Power HD LW-20MG servo (cheap and powerful enough for me).
At least for this servo this horn is working fine.
I was first afraid that it might rub against center shaft or the shaft cover, but it seems not (will check it some day to be sure).

I bought the eco servo saver and the stock hardware does not fit the included nuts. What size screws did you use to complete the install?

I bought this set and see you used the included nuts. What size screw did you use?

I tried to re-use the original hardware and it was too wide. I have a random assortment of m3's but they were also too wide.

Here is the post from my thread where I installed the setup. I'm using an aftermarket servo, servo horn, and I made my own rod and had to clearance some stuff.
