I recently upgraded my Ruckus servo and servo saver. I am having problems finding the linkage that connects the two together. The original linkage has a different size, and type, mounting stud. My new servo arm and servo saver set up uses M3 screws. The distance from center hole needs to be 3/4 inch. Any advice would be appreciated.

1/10 2wd I’m assuming since it’s the most common?
Are you talking about the horn (the splined teardrop bolted directly to the servo) or the small adjustable length pushrod from the horn to the bell crank (servo saver)?
In this picture what I am referring to is 1050 and 1046x2
If so, what I did was keep 1050 and got two him joint rod ends to work with it. Plastic cups, metal balls. The all aluminum ones get slop fast. I wanted to keep an adjustable component here it’s how you can adjust straight line tracking between changing that length and the servo horn position. You can do it with the trims on certain radios but I prefer to have the base alignment set up well and make minimal if any adjustments with the electronics.

Thanks 95PGTTech. The small adjustable length pushrod from the horn to the bell crank is what I was speaking of. I was. I found a replacement for exc1046. I have to cut off a small portion of the threaded sleeve on each one to get the desired length of 3/4" from center hole to center hole. I can use the 3m threaded set screw for the connecting piece. If there was an upgraded replacement for that, I would love to get it.
This is the post in my 2wd build thread where I specifically talked about how I upgraded the steering and changed the geometry.
A few posts before that I said it was a Traxxas M4 link that I modified, but no part number
I was able to cross reference the date of that post against my Amazon shopping cart and came up with Traxxas TRA6846
