My question - Is there somewhere on the internet that explains in good detail what's what when setting up one of these truggies? A link or something would be helpful, I couldn't really find anything myself

The Alu Tekno horns are my fav now. The Hotbodies is pretty good as well for mounting the link below, but think it puts extra stress on the servo with it's leverage. Never had it cause an actual issue, just something to consider.

I ended up filing the case of my Associated XP servo when I moved it to the EB48.

I received a new Protek 170S for the truggy today and it came with a servo horn that's kinda upside down like we need so I guess I have a spare horn now.
