Hitec Servo Horn Question

[stevage]

I just got my Hitec 645 servo for my steering and tried to put the stock servo horn on it but it fits way to loose.Some servo horns came with the servo,will any of those work?

yes the straight one will work just cut the whole one side off and you should be in luck

Look in your extra parts there should be the same exact horn (you should have 3 of them including the one on the servo so there should be 2 extra in a bag or parts tree somewhere) they are numbered 23, 24, and 25 I don't remember which is which but they are different sizes. One fits JR, Hitec and futaba servos (I think it is 23 = JR, 24 = hitec, and 25 = futaba. ) you will have to try tobe sure.

It is inporntant to get the correct one or you can have some big problems. I forced the wrong one on one time and it slipped pushing the carb to full open. as soon as I strted the truck it took off on me full throttle no brakes nothing but steering. luckly I was quickand caught it but it was a pain as I didnt have a rag near by to kill it . this is why I bought the safty kill switches.

FYI, the ones in the bag will not work with the stock linkage, they will only work with the onna mod linkage. and you will most like ly have to drill the hole out bigger for that.

I got the right one now from my extra parts that came with the savy(Almost forgot i had them).

stevege,

Hitec also makes a metal horn for about 8 bucks. After stripping a few plastic ones I went with metal. It worked great for the price.


Just my 2 cents
