Well i will order an aluminum one, but for the time being so i can run it should i run a regular plastic horn for it? Will it change how its turning compared to using this wheel servo horn?

It will make a big difference and help use the torque of the servo more. You can use your current setup yes, but it might and probably will break if you do any kind of rough bashing. The servo horn that is, not the servo itself.

A regular plastic servo horn will do, I would rather break that plastic than my expensive servo...

I race my buggy and truggy with plastic servo horns, it will never break unless full impact...

All personal preference, plastic can bend though taking away some of the torque. It's all up to you. I've NEVER broke a servo from using a metal arm.

Well what i was asking is... will a regular (plastic) like the straight ones (dont know how else to explain it) be better right now than this circular one? Will it make a difference switching? (both are plastic for now)

That circular one is for planes or boats.

Get these heavy duty ones from Du-bro, it's plastic, but will NOT bend:

Replaced the circular one with a regular horn and the wheels turn lock to lock sitting still.
