Sketer Servo saver loosened by itself

[FunnyCar]

After some heavy bashing sessions on grass I noticed that there was nearly no steering anymore. When looking into it I discovered that the servo saver got way too loose. No big deal so far, because the knurled nut is easily accessible at the Sketer. But now two questions are left for me:

Is it normal that the servo saver gets loosened by itself (or do I need to secure it with loctite blue)?

What is it the correct "setting" of the saver (if there is any)?
I did turn it up just until the servo itself does move when I move the wheels by hand - that seemed reasonable to me

Tagged, Good question. I haven't messed with mine yet so lets see what others chime in that have more experience.

I would make sure that the oring is inside the nut. A little loctite won't hurt.

I've never seen anyone else mention it before. I know it was common on the Arrma 6s line prior to the V4.

my servo saver (Radix 6) regularly unwinds itself and yeah the O ring is in there.

Thanks for the hint … we talk about the yellow marked O-ring in the drawing below, right?
Sorry for this newbie question - but what is it for?

it's meant to provide a bit of resistance so the collar can't easily spin on it's own, the adjusters on the shocks have them too (but a different size)

Ok, I have secured it now with loctite blue. Also I have set it to a point, when I move the wheels by hand:

- the servo moves as well when it is powered off
- the servo does not move (so the saver opens) when it is powered on

Is that a good setting?

2-4mm vom Chassi bis zur Rändelmutter!!

Thank you Koma71 … I just measured 4.2mm - so I am a little at the stronger side, but that’s ok for me. I also marked the position with a black permanent marker to easily see if it will move again by itself:
