Hey guys I need help with a throttle servo. I have a savox but switching to KO propo. Right now I got a 4 sided horn that came with the savox and dremeled 2 sides off. It works but I need something a little better. Looks like the arms are too short. What is a good servo horn for the throttle one can suggest? Maybe this:

The Dynamite horn is a great fit and the throttle side is already the perfect diameter for a 3mm screw, so no drilling needed.

Indeed. I tried the Dynamite linkage, but I didn't like it that much because it's touching the body. Although the servo horn is very good which I'm using right now with the stock linkages.

The Dynamite Pro linkage MadRussian posted about does touch the stock body. I never tried it with a Bull Dog or Punisher body. I was referring to the Dynamite machined horn the op linked to, which is just the horn only, with no brake or throttle linkages.

I don't have any experience with that horn. But I have the same horn as in the set MadRussian posted. I use the horn with the stock linkage and it's very good!

THATS great! i was thinking of doing something similar just haven't though about how yet. What AE part is that if i may ask? is it from RC8? and if possible do you have a part number for it? is it a direct mount to the 6R chassis/radiotray?

Thanks!

Sideshow Bob thats the AE Gt2 Rec box. What you have to do is cut the front of you mugen batt and rec box out. Be sure to cut the whole front part off. you will need the two screw mounts on the bottom to mount to the chass to support the box and back half of the servo tray. once you cut out the front part of the tray you will need to do some work on the backside so that its flat so you can apoxy it the the gt rec box. make sure to rough up both sides so the apoxy makes good bond. if you have any more questions please feel free to pm or post question. Ill take the box off when i get home today and take pics of just the rec box so you can get a better look at it and see what im talking about and what part you need to keep off the stock mugen box.
