Default Losi alum. servo horns = bad

so i picked up a losi alum servo horn from amain

Team Losi Aluminum Servo Arm (JR)
[LOSA99030]

This is the optional aluminum replacement single arm servo horn from Team Losi. This is the servo horn that is used for the steering bell crank. This servo horn will work on JR servos.
yah. except for the part where it doesnt fit onto jr servos.
i have a 9100s and it will not go on.
sadly however, it does perfectly fit the Losi steering servo on my rtr 2.0 nitro

i saved the bag..
would you send it back? call amain? throw it on the rtr 2.0 and call it a day?

Might as well use it since you have it. And then order the Racers Edge servo arms. Those things are stupid awesome.

I've seen several of these that fit really tight. Line up the splines and start the screw - it should pull itself on.

If it fits the losi servo it should fit the JR too. They are a very tight fit when new, but they go on there.

they are dialed horns, why would you want a loose fit on your spline?

Yeah, I have 2 of these, one on a 9100S and one on an 8711. They do fit pretty tight (usually have to apply pressure to one side while rocking the other to get them off). That said, a tight fit is better than a loose one and I have had no issues so far... I even had a screw back out of one and finished the run without issue.

I just had the same problem but they were for Hitec servos. Extremely tight. I literally had to force it on there but once I got it on I pulled it back off to see if I had stripped out the splines and they were not. It was just very tight.
Also. I use a small amount of thread lock on my screws into the servo. Ive noticed these screws back out. Or atleast they did on me until I started using thread lock.
