get a hitec 7955tg servo and a ofna 24t horn (like on the first page)......and never look back. i run on my eb48 and sct410.....NO PROBLEMS at ALL!!!! i highly reccomend putting washers under link on bellcrank to assure a level link, this will put less stress on servo and increase longevity!! ..........p.s. if you look, this is what most tekno drivers are running as well, maybe a diff horn but pretty much the same. i'd stay away from the hb horn due to increase stress on servo, i snapped inside middle plastic piece (on 1/8 scale) in servo were output shaft comes thru. replaced middle plastic plate and horn to ofna, and been fine since, and thats an 1/8 scale, so you know that servo can take the abuse. NEVER stripped anything

nope.......killed the plastic one on my 1/8 scale in 5 min first run with saver at stock position. hit a tube and SNAP!!! trust me im not the only one who has broke the plastic with in min........id say atleast 90% of us didnt bother to put on plastic horn, and 100% of us that had the eb48 prior to the sct410 went straight to the aluminum horn before it touched the track........i have a STRONG feeling you will report back with the plastic one broke......suck for you if it happened in a main.....

I'm using a Protek 250S (helicopter tail servo) in my SCT410 (.04s/in and 103 oz/in)

It has no business in a heavy SC truck but surprisingly it's been holding up great!

I have the 250T to put in (.07s/in and 370oz/in) later, but I don't think I really need to
