Yes you want the circuit bumpers. The amp shares most of its chassis with the circuit. The servo saver eliminator does help a lot. The servo saver is the long plastic assembly between the steering rack and the servo horn ball stud linkage. It consists of two halves which can "scissor". A spring resists the scissoring. When your wheels hit an obstacle, the link twists open to protect the servo. However, the servo saver on this vehicle is very weak and when the car bounces across the surface, it constantly twists open, rendering your steering inputs ineffective.
The servo saver eliminator is a one piece plastic part which does not scissor, but also does not protect the servo. Chances are you will strip the stock servo if you run it. Metal geared servos can take it no problem, but something else will give out. On my car the turnbuckles pop off, or the ball cups on the servo horn. If you get unlucky, the plastic servo horn could strip. Then you spend $3 on an aluminum one...
