the modification note wrongly list the camber link #5550 as the part needed to be cut instead of the steering link #5123
"In order to obtain positive static toe, both left and right steering turnbuckles for the EB/NB48 (TKR5050) and SCT410/EB48SL (TKR5550) will need to be shortened by approx 6mm (3mm on each side of both turnbuckles)."

Right, TKR5550 has a 5mm thread instead of 4mm needed for the steering links.
Like Cain said you can purchase some 50mm links with 4mm thread as an alternative. I didn't want to cut mine either. Took me over two weeks to decide to do it. It went smoother than anticipated using a dremel cutoff wheel. Either way, new link or cutting the existing link, try to make sure you keep the same thread pattern on the plastic so you are not cross-threading it.

Hey guys, I've been stripping servo horns out lately and have determined my servo saver was too tight. I've loosened it up a bit and bought the Tekno Aluminum servo horn (TKR5253B). I'm confused because it's a clamping horn but didn't come with the pinch bolt to actually clamp it. The smaller Tekno clamping horns all come with the pinch bolt so I'm a bit stumped as to what to do with it? Thanks!

With regards to stripping servo horns, are they the plastic ones or are you stripping aluminum ones? If it's just the plastic ones go ahead and tighten your servo saver back up, if it's too loose you're steering will feel inconsistent and mushy. We're all running the new bellcrank setup with the solid bellcrank, no saver at all. Also use the inside hole on your new servo horn, better steering resolution and less force transmitted to the servo.

So it didn't come with any screw at all? The clamping horns now use an M3 screw so any M3x8mm (I think it's 8mm, maybe 10mm) button head or cap head screw will work.

Again, I should've specified, I'm running an AE RC8.2e. Sorry to post here but I figured you guys running Tekno might be able to help me. Sorry if I've breached etiquette!

I should've specified, sorry. It came with the M3 bolt to tighten the horn to the servo, but it didn't come with the pinch bolt that serves to "clamp" the horn from the back.

Don't worry about posting here, glad to help, but I would still tighten your servo saver back up .

Ok, so what parts (tekno part numbers ) do I need to adjust the toe to 0 ? The original set up sheet has the front toe at .5
There that much off a difference in the .5 to the new recommended 0 , that we have to cut something ?
Someone please explain this to me like I'm a six year old , cause I don't understand.
And what method do you guys use to measure toe?
