DaveGT Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi, I'm building an RC10 Worlds re release and have got to the stage where I need to start installing the electrics. The servo horns included in the kit don't seem to fit either of the servos I have, Alturn-752MG or Savox SC1251MG. They are both supposed to be Futaba 25 teeth but the servo horn marked F in the car kit seems to small. Do I need to buy an aftermarket servo horn/saver specifically for these servos? Also, what do you think to these servo choices? I've read mixed reviews. Any other recommendations welcomed. Regards, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Quite a few supposedly Futaba pattern servos seem to come up large. I think the Savox works well in 1/10th 2wd. Its fast, as strong as it needs to be and takes up less room. I'm using a low profile Bluebird in my RC10 Team because it lets me get a better servo mounting angle than with a full sized one. Back around 1990 I was using a slightly smaller than standard sized Futaba servo to get the same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks Si, That's good to know. What should I do about the servo horn, can you recommend one that should fit? I'll check out the Bluebird servo too. Regards and thanks, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I've got loads so I just find one from the box that fits. Normally servos come with a couple. They might need cutting down to fit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGT Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks Si, is this the Bluebird servo you use? http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__8954__BMS_990DMG_Low_Profiled_Coreless_motor_Digital_Servo_All_Metal_Gear_9_0kg_09sec_45g.html Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yes. I think the Savox is better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
