Hey Guys,
My friend and I are both having the same issues of the small plastic gear adapter for the steering servo stripping after a while. I tried to fit a serpent metal steering horn, but when I put the locknut on to fasten, the center brace gets in the way.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

not sure how big of a difference this makes running(prob not much), but when it's flipped over from the way the book shows it...it looks to exhibit more of an arcing motion to the linkage, rather than a more precise straighter motion.... Joe

Also, another option (when running aluminum servo horns) is to get rid of all the plastic shims underneath the servo anchor screws altogether (further reducing servo flex), and run your plastic arm to the "outside" of your aluminum servo horn (instead of inside)..... this setup (with most servos) will allow the arm to be aligned nice and straight... And not contact anything at all........ Joe
