This aluminium servo saver with a fitted aluminium tie rod is an aftermarket upgrade for the Wild Willy 2 WR-02 platform. It aims to protect the servo from abrupt forces while improving steering precision during off-road use and tuning sessions.
Replacing the stock plastic pieces with aluminium reduces flex and improves long term durability. The stiffer components help the servo keep a more stable centre and deliver more repeatable steering changes when you adjust trim or travel. The 25T label denotes the servo spline size that matches higher torque servo horns.
Fitting is typical for WR-02 steering setups: remove the OEM saver and link, press the aluminium saver onto the 25T servo spline, then secure the tie rod between the saver arm and steering knuckle. Confirm free steering motion and correct preload before final assembly to avoid binding.
When tuning, the aluminium saver is useful with hi-torque servos or when you want clearer steering feedback for small setup changes. The aluminium link reduces slop so micro-adjustments are more effective, but always check chassis and knuckle clearances to prevent excessive rigidity.
