Servo horns are servo attachments that are commonly used to to transfer motion from the servo to an arm, push-rod or linkage.

Where does the servo plug into?

A servo plug has 3 wires – Power supply, ground and control signal. This plug goes into the receiver.

How does a servo saver work?

Servo Savers are basically servo horns or arms that are designed to take the brunt of a large jolt so that your servo geartrain does not strip out. They have a U-shaped spring inside that takes the shock. We highly recommend them for any servo that repeatedly takes a beating!

Is there a maximum range for Savox servos?

A. We don’t. Each servo is different, so check the spec sheets, but most of our standard size servos are programmed for 100°, with a maximum of 130° via adjustments in your transmitter. Q. I’m using a Futaba transmitter, and my servos don’t work right.

What is the spline count for servo horns?

Can You splice your Savox servos for use with BEC?

A. At this time, Savox servos are not programmable. Q. Can I splice my servo wires for use with a BEC? A. Nope. Don’t do it!

Where do you put the Grommets in a servo?

Install the grommets into the eyelets in the servo and, if your screws fit, install the brass tubes too. This will provide a little extra give in an impact and help isolate the servo from chassis vibrations. Before you install your servo into the radio tray, you should check the clearance between the sides of the servo and the radio tray itself.
