cougar sv steering servo help.

[androo]

I've just got a cougar sv and i'm going to put my savox sc-1256tg into it.
When the servo is in place I've noticed that the servo horn is very close to the steering centre track rod. is this normal or do i need a low profile servo??

I run the same servo in my cougar an have had no problems at all, just one on the low profile servo, would advise if u do get one not to get savox 1251 as had one myself in the cougar an after 1 month of use stripped the internal gears which was only about 3 race meetings

You don't need a low profile servo. I run the savox 1258 which is the same as yours for fitting. Is a close fit but perfectly fine.
What servo horn are you running. Standard kit or something else?

thanks for the help. I'm running an answer alu one. I had to grind down the length of the ball stud so it didn't foul the centre linkage and shorten the horn as it was a bit to long. it looks clear, haven't tested it yet but does look close when wheels are straight ahead.

What servo horn do you recommend??

I use an answer RC one too. Didn't have to do anything to make it work properly. Used it in my SV and now SV2.

The one in the link is what I have.

thays the one i have, maybe i should have tried it first before shortening the horn, i had to cut down the ball stud though.

Yeah I got the answer alu for my cougar with a savox 1258 and I had to grind the end off it because it was too long. :thumbsdown:

i used a black one from mbmodel and bent it slightly to give good clearance

I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow. No grinding, bending or any other mods for that matter, just fits perfectly as it should.

I had the same problem and then purchased a Core one from MB and it fits perfectly.

I use this one no issues
