Reedy servo warning..
Just wanted to warn fellow enthusiast..
I bought several servos as i revamp several cars of mine.
2 of the servos I bought recently are reedy rs0806 and rs1206.
I've had nothing but trouble with these. 25t horns do not fit correctly. I've stripped teeth on a few trying to make them fit. This on the advice of associated saying they were going to be tight, and to just work them on. Associated then encouraged me to use their horns only...only to find same issues. Their horn fit after a ton of modding.
Seen many tight and loose servos in the last 30 years, nothing like this. I guess hitec, sanwa and ko will be the only servos I buy. I had all these brands and I've never seen an issue like this.

Did you try the double split horns, they seem to be made for the servos like yours. Stupid cheap at Value Hobbies.

Learned my lesson, guys. Tried a handful of horns. Was only able to force a plastic one on the throttle. All alum steering arms have been an issue.
I will mod the servo gear since i'm stuck with it.

I'm sure they work great, just got to get the arms on there first.

Let me share my experience. Just installed a 1408 LP Reedy in my BD7 tonight. The Yokomo BD7 Futaba alloy servo horn (YOKB7-204F) slipped on like butter. Install went without a hitch. Feels plenty fast & torquey running on 7.4V (HW XR10 Pro). Impressed so far - on track test is this Sunday.

There's no bitching here. Just a bad experience and a warning to fellow rc folk. Don't spin this into something it's not.
