Servo horn upgrade

[ChuenouXiao]

I don't like the stock throttle horn for it's plastic. Any recommended aluminum horn that will work with my XB with very or no mod? Please let me know.

You may want to check out a hpi aluminum horn.

Are you still running the factory throttle servo?

No....I have a high tech servo for throttle. I think my plastic piece is wearing out. The part that connects to the servo gear .....

I'm not sure of any off the top of my head.

I use the large red + arm and trimmed two of the arms off to make it a 2 sided arm instead of a 4 sider. It seems beefier and has held up great.

Yea... I think I have a few aluminum lying around but I think they are not the exact size. May have to cut, slice and measure them before using them. BTW... RCdad... I'm going to copy your emotion cartoon ok? LOL!

I have confirm that its not that the plastic horn is wearing out at servo gear but.... its my set screw for my break are coming loose, tightening my brakes. Resulting in my car breaking and locking my brake shaft. With that, my throttle servo is somehow locked at a 13% acceleration no matter how I set the trim. I fixed it by taking my gear plate and everything apart, loctiting the brake set screw on the aluminum brake piece and everything seems fine now. Got my hands crossed....

Sounds like you got it all under control. Give your self a pat on the back.

Yeah, Hitec horns are usually pretty durable. Glad you figured it out.

Holy moly! Adjustable huh?

 

[tsudo5th]

Does anyone knowwhat aluminum horn will fit on this servo?

 

[cordy]

Measure the spline.

 

[Deluge]

Indeed. Good stuff.

Couldn't tell ya, dude. Isn't that a Turnigy servo?

 

[tsudo5th]

Yes. But nitro sells it under another name I think. Great servo sweet price. Just can't find arms.

 

[Deluge]

All I could find is it has a 23t spline.
