Servo horn
Hi guys. I'm looking for a direct servo horn to run off a futaba servo. I tried the dynamite one down one hole from the top but at full lock it touches the drive shaft. If I go down to the one below that I can't achieve full throw. Any thoughts out there on a horn that works?
Cheers

The setups sheets from some our drivers still have the mistakes in the top deck setting indication.
So I have to explain again the main ideas of red dots in the flex settings of our setup sheet ( both for top deck and lower deck also):
In case of somebody will be able to transform these rules to the more clear and shorter form I will be very grateful.

Please follow the Instruction Manual:
1. 17,5-18,5 mm servo arm length.
2. 3,25mm shims under AT21 ball on the AM09 steering rod.
3. Steering rod travel limiters ( protruding SS3x12 set screws tips) on the bottom face of AM09 steering rod.
4. Exactly 90 deg at the neutral servo arm position.
5. Exactly equal length of both steering links.
6. Cut off the tip of the P13-1 ball over the cental ball of the servo link as in the Instruction.
Additionally ( from the old instruction for A700):
7. For Tamiya servo saver and 16,5-17,5mm arms you should use 3,75mm shims under AT21 ball on the AM09 steering rod.
Some drivers bend the servo ST21 steering rod a little bit to get bigger clearance to the top deck.

I use xrays nt1 stearing arms (horns) they are a perfect fit for any servo, sturdy enough and just the right amount of give when your in a big crash.. The package of servo horns are around $6... Sorry don't have part numbers but if you check the web you will find them.. Hope that helps out...

Hi guys, yes great help. Thanks all.
I have been running the A700L in New Zealand which has very low traction conditions and we don't use tyre additive down here also. The car has been performing very well to the extent I have bettered our local track record in 13.5 boosted over my yokomo BD7 that I was running. We have our National championship coming up next month on a big bumpy track so will look forward to unleashing her on that track!
Good luck to all the competitors at the IIC
Thanks

I usually just give it a sturdy tap on the axle and the plastic locking spacer comes of pretty easy, after awhile of taking them off and on they need to be replaced.. I hope that helped you out

the major changes from past setup are-
* addition of 0.4mm front and rear to the dampener (A measurement)
* measuring droop from under the arm. laying the chassis on a setup board (make sure the p06 & set screws don't hang low/make the chassis rock) measure with a droop gauge from the "inside" of the car, making a 90 degree angle with the setup gauge and c04 arm. the setup gauge should just be touching the button heads under the arm.
