Check out this high-brow conversation here among some real Savage experts:
https://www.hpisavageforum.com/threads/what-servo.15282/#post-189240
To save you from frustration, the net-net is this:
1. Gentleman asks about throttle servos
2. He's told the stronger the servo, the better his Savage will brake,
3. All the other chumps '+1' that comment.
4. Dude puts it on and it's reversed, then asked for help.
5, He gets scolded for it
Let's start from bottom up, shall we?
1. The reversed settings are throttle-specific and if in the manual...who the hell reads the little manual that come worth those servos? I love how that Jam guy stepped to him like he was some kind of "expert" on something here.
2. I wish to hell I was on that forum because I would scold them for being such dumbasses. It's one thing to be a dumbass, but to be one and call someone else that when you are the one that's wrong? . Wow.
I was part of the generation AND industry that made the "internet" what it is today. Mad respect for BLUE and Vulcan, but we laid it down with BASIC and things changed. Ha ha We all found out real quick how people "pretend" on the Internet.
I guess frauds seek out new playgrounds, and well....SMH. But this has been happening since day one and it's unfortunate, but not surprising,.
Back to this subject myth: the servo strength plays ZERO role in how a vehicle brakes other than whether it can apply the brakes or not. In other words, unlike a centrifical clutch: it IS an on/off light switch. You can either apply the brakes with needed force to stop a Savage, or you cannot. There are no degrees to stopping...or at least 100% of the servo's on the market regardless of class can move the linkage to apply brakes. Pulling the carb is where there is an amount of force needed that spans beyond a few surface servo torque ratings.
I'm going to attempt to let those chumps know that not only is it wrong, but I will do one of those "stoppies" they all like over and over again with whatever servo they select. I know no other way to prove how utterly incorrect they are.
