I used it for my Traxxas stamped with no problems. 2056 servo is present in that unit
In this case, the product is not compatible
Sadly, I haven't seen any smaller ones, but maybe try looking for a smaller one and seeing if it will cover your needs.

Servo savers as components do not have any faults, so it gets a good rating for that reason. Putting the heavier component in the servo causes the forces to be directly transmitted to the gears. If you have a servo to begin with that's difficult, then this servo saver is not much help. With plastic gears and a high torque servo, this is just too much for the standard Traxxas servo. The plastic gears inside the servo are stripped and you need to replace them with metal gear servos. The fact that it's called a servo saver is ironic.
I have confirmed this works well on the Traxxas Slash (not listed in the description). In addition to the metal gear servo, it was a great upgrade. Servo broke because it was made of cheap plastic. A 11-year-old boy replaced both this and the servo on his own. A 25T servo fits just fine in it.
I am writing this review after actually using it for a while. I won't buy it This steering wheel is really stiff and is essentially like not having a servo saver, however sometimes it binds up when a heavy hit is taken on it and then you have a lot of slack in the For the last time, I had to take it apart in order to unbind the spring. For this part, I have found the plastic to be much better. I have used them much better than other metal ones.
It is not a direct fit for a Traxxas Rustler, due to the large top, if you intend on using it. It will need to be modified with a bench grinder. As long as it fits well, I rounded the top of it and narrowed it on each side. The strength of the finished product is impressive. Since I am used to modifying parts, this wasn't too difficult, but if you are not, it might be a problem.
The center will not be centered. You can skip this part of the process and save A failing grade was the result of this test for Hot Racing. It can't be centered because the mounting holes are custom, so you won't be able to match your old alignment. You won't see any benefit from the custom mounting holes either. I truly dislike this part because it is just fluff and nothing more.
bought 3 of these to use for a building I'm doing. One of them was fine, the other 2 had a lot of slop in them, I wouldn't recommend them to be used for steering, you would be all over the road, they wouldn't center.
As soon as the car hit a wall, the servo saver lost its effectiveness. When it hit, I heard a snap, even though it wasn't moving fast at all. The car went straight as soon as the servo saver was repositioned. Nevertheless, the saver striped again once I turned the corner and the car couldn't drive straight again. My mistake was that I used a different adapter for a different servo tooth, but since the adapters are plastic, this happened.
It made me feel good that it is a nice, sturdy piece that won't break off after a good beating. Although I have had the mug for over a month now, it hasn't bent. In the event that it breaks, I will get another.
