Hey everybody,this is my first patent and i want some opinions & advices.You can see photos

.Because i don't like this weight(see photos) i want to know if xb9's servo saver(#352512) fits on 808 :!:

These 2 plastics.The steering is the same as before
I AM WAITING ANSWERS AND OPINIONS!!!!!

I don't see why it would not fit and the plastic parts don't cost the world so just try it.

I saw xb9's manual and 808's manual and:The bearings are the same,the spring under these plastics are the same.One question if i cut down the carbon fiber so the servo goes more down will i lose flex?

When you put on the XB9 servo saver plastic parts I'm pretty sure the whole linkage will be raised up and you don't have to cut anything.

Which spares do you mean?If you mean the washers & nuts,i put them to get the link higher.
Also i ordered the xb9's composite servo saver and when i willl have it i will post again here to show you the results.But i am very positive about this patent.

At the moment I'm finishing a TIX TX9 based on XT8'09 and XB9 normally. But I use my "old" 808'09'11 parts and for what I can see it's just another height in the servo saver's lever and a different Ackermann rail (same mounting, different positions). If you would use the XB9 composites, you could get rid of the shims and therefor you get a more direct feel on the steering.

As for the change in flex by reducing the radio plate's height, theoretically the flex will increase just for a very little bit but there's still the front brace so no worry about that. I didn't notice that when I removed 1.5mm on top and bottom of the steering servo mounts and 3mm on the radio box to make the same servos you have fit.

Nice built!

AND YES.THIS PATENT IS AMAZING.
The car is 10 times better that before,i could push it on corners more than ever.The only thing i don't like is the behavior at the jumps,the car is a little bit unstable but if you are good driver you can handle it.
Some tips for this patent.
I used protek servo horn
XB9's servo saver composite part
It's better to use pyramid pack and not a flat pack.
Thanks for reading this,i hope you guys try it too.
