The 3racing horns look nice (almost same red) but are quite weak, they are made of cheap aluminum.
Capricorn now offers a complete set of plastic servo horns:

For servos I would recommend anything but Savox, the Savox servos are cheaply made and they don't fit very well, especially the low profile ones.
Personally I use the RSX One10 from KoPropo, but any servo from Sanwa, Futaba or Kopropo should do.

Hello
I'm actually building the LAB C-01 and I was surprised not finding the servo horns in the kit
What kind of horns did you use for your steering and throttle servos?
Which servos do you use for this kit?
Low profile or standart size?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards

So you finally moved to walking the RED carpet I see. Firstly, the kits are not like a Team Magic, they are racing kits and you need a lot of your own experience where Team Magic builds are an experience in themselves. So don't be disappointed, the road is long and you will feel the smile when it comes together.
I can not ignore that other very experienced owners claim that a TOP END servo adds the the turning characteristics, they are surely correct. We use Savox, The fast metal geared ones. Also the low profile inder the top plate for steering to get CG down.
We reamed the arms hinge pins with a Hudy, built it, ensuring there's play in the two speed (spur/hub from bulkhead) and you will need your own shims and screws to get it built. I'm sure you know what you are doing with the build and the other advice was fill the diffs "full".
get it on track, losen it up and find the two speed point (making sure you 2 speed shoe in correct direction and watch out to get 2speed spur screws in, I "countersunk" carefully by hand...
Clutch starting point, .5mm spring retainer from crank thread, .5 clutch gap and just a little endlplay.
Radio gear is fun... Ill let you work your own system!
enjoy

Been racing the 3Racing ones for two seasons in my Cap 1/8 and 1/10 and not broken or bend a single one.
And by the way, they don't just look the same the 3racing and Capricorns are the same.

Quite weak, are you a chemist. Mhmm and then you propose to buy plastic instead, makes no sense.

In the EP car the 3racing horns are snapping like toothpicks, the plastic one has been working flawlessly. Also when you hit something and your servosaver doesn't absorb the hit, a part of the hit will be absorbed by the plastic lever.
If you know a tiny bit about engineering you will understand a plastic horn can be better compared to an aluminium horn. There are many sorts of plastics and many sorts of aluminum.

Hehhe, they are good :-)... 3 of my drivers using the same without any of the problems described above... So no matter what DS says, I'll stick to the experience we have had with them :-)...

Which one should I order for Savox Servos, the Futaba horns?
3racing has 3 different horns for common brands, but not for Savox.
Thank you.
Oh, one more question:
On the 2speed shoes, should i screw in in the grub screws? Because in the manual there is nothing described about it..

Capricorn doesn't use grub screws in the 2 speed shoes. It may look a bit strange at first, but the shoes are actually meant to be loose on the cam hub. I know some one driver who extends the live of the shoes by using grub screws when the shoes become a bit worn however. It's up to you if you want to resort to that, but start off without grub screws in new 2 speed clutches, and use only very short grub screws if you decide to do that. We don't use grub screws.
You shouild replace the rollers that the cam works on if they get flat spots.
Kindest regards,
Lars.
