Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone here uses servo horns other than the standard Associated ones in their X6? I've managed to snap two in two meetings (the associated one)....( I run a metal geared Futaba servo, and have superglued the servo saver, so there is a lot of strain on it to be fair) ...actually, Doddy snapped the second having a go of my car, animal ![]() Any suggestions or advice would be great! cheers, Stanners |

Most of the team use the Losi one form the XXX, it is quite a bit stronger than the AE version, alloy ones are OK but put more load on the steering assembly IMHO

As darren has said stan, use the losi one it also brings the linkage more in line. If it's good enough for our national 2WD champ it's good enough for us

thanks all, appreciated
does using the AE servo horn (and therefore the link not being inline) have an adverse effect on the steering characteristics of the car? I'll change it anyway, but just wondering.... |

I cant see why it would stan but im sure some one will tell you it does, maybe its all in the head, like some people running the yellow dot on the outside tyre wall because its faster

When I used the original holes in the chassis I used a Losi horn that had a large offset and the ball on the back to get the link in line across the chassis for the most linear steering. However I know use B4 servo posts and horn and drill my own hole in the right place to get the link in line.
What is important IMHO is don't use a massive horn with a ton of leverage and have to turn all your tranny rates right down. I know someone who has a slow torquey servo and this makes it feel faster but I think it makes it feel weird. PS I use a std AE horn, with glued saver and KO metal gear servo. Never broken a horn but have snapped the back of the saver assembly a couple of times. I stiill run it like that as even the HD servo spring is too weak for high grip (UK tracks)

you broke the steering arm at the same time you bent the transmitter throttle stick, so yes, you're an animal
