Default aluminum servo horn

Where can I find an aluminum servo horn for my Hitec 645 cheap. It is going on an AX10.

The cheap ones that I've seen are universal and come with plastic inserts for the 3 different spline fittings (23, 24 and 25 splines). Not really worth buying as the plastic insert is a potential weak point.

Hitec supply a proper aluminium servo arm with their high-end servos, but it's a bit short for a crawler.

Best buy is the Robitronic 24 spline arm. This fits properly, has 2 extra clamping bolts and is virtually indestructable. It's available under several different brand names. $10 should get you one.

Robitronics is the best servo horn you can buy. I swear I will run these on every hardcore build from now on. Once you see one you will understand.

I'm running the same basic horn as the robotronics one but mine is from Racers Edge.

IMO the next best to the Robitronics would be the Losi ones. Link below.

Very beefy, they are solid aluminum, no plastic insert to round off. Their only negative is that they might be a bit short depending on your application.
