It's the same servo as my Orion, line it correctly and use the screw to press it on. Make sure you use the blue ring that slides over the servo horn.

None of the horns fit the servo. Did you get it to work? If so, which horn and which spacers did you use?

None of the horns with the kit seem to even begin to go onto the servo.
I had the same problem with the Savox 4096. I ended up using a regular horn from Futaba.

Use the F horn, it's tight but will fit.

Big Brown Truck delivered my B4.1 today. Everything went together perfectly.....EXCEPT the diff. The male outdrive half (9852) where the outer diff bearing rides (9832) is .008 too thick as compared to the female side, and won't slide into the inner race of the bearing. Yes, measured it and the bearings with calipers several times, in several different places. The female side is perfect, and slides in and turns smooth as snake snot in either bearing.

So much for racing this weekend. ANOTHER call to AE (had issues with two different TC6 kits, too), but at least it's usually no-questions-asked and quick turn around on sending good parts out.

Wow...taking in BACK. I remember staring at the bright red Hobby Shack catalog for HOURS in homeroom trying to decide on the Ultima, Panda Truck, Silver Fox or Optima Mid. I wish I still had that thing.
