liamb2387 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The servo horn on my throttle servo is starting to slip. It looks like the plastic teeth are slightly rounded off. Losi servo horns have quite wide holes for the links to slot into like this And I can't find any replace servo horns with holes as big as that. I know I could just drill bigger holes but I'd prefer not to. Is there any other horns that suit the losi 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlegend Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hmm a tough part to come by since you using the gen 2 battery tray could I maybe recommend the gen 3 battery tray its a great improvement over the gen 2 its around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liamb2387 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Whats the difference with the gen 3 tray? Chris, I spotted those little metal inserts. Is it just a matter of pulling out the worn plastic ones and pushing the new metal ones in? So is there no aluminium servo horns that would work?

jizwizard Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Stick with the plastic horn with a metal insert mate. what servo are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jizwizard Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The gen 3 tray has both of the servos at the front of the chassis for better weight distribution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamb2387 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Right. Think I'll get a couple of those metal inserts ordered then. So is it just a matter of pulling out the old plastic part and replacing with the metal part? Throttle servo is just a prolux s9005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jizwizard Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 make sure you get the right size insert as they come in different tooth sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
