Long NON clamping servo horn

[Erik D_lux]

Anybody lead me in the right direction for a servo horn that is as long as the Robotronic servo horn but is NON clamping type?

SWB makes gooooood servo horns. I use them on my sporty and 1.9 with good results.

Oops

I guess they got rid of them, I just bought some a month ago and have been using them for years... Always had good luck with their clamping ones too.

Yeah, couldnt find any non clamping on their site.

I should have a part number for ya's tonight. It's made by Hitec.

Just curiously, why not clamping?

I run Robitronics horns in all my crawlers and have never had an issue with them.

+1.....unless it's a low torque servo (~200inoz or less) why NOT use a clamping servo arm?? The GHracing (Golden Horizons racing) arm is less than $10, why mess with potentially crap???!!!

Robitronics is the next/best step up the list.

Sheesh, I thought I was a cheap ass.

Hitec makes good servo horns. This isn't about cost at all. Erik asked a question and it got answered

The only HiTec servo horns I've tried were with the servo package.
The aluminum horn was too short for my needs (as well as anyone I've talked to).

Thus my quest for a decent replacement horn.

I've tried quite a few, the GHracing claamping aluminum horns have held to my abuse, I've read numerous great reviews on the Robitronics arms.

Thus my post.

I will follow your post as I obviously missed a HiTec option.

Well then I urge you to try out the one that I posted. I own one and it's all BEEF

Supers kill those horns rather quickly...

have you looked into Air Wild Hobbies. the Air Wild horns are designed for large airplanes. the spline starts at the back of the arm instead of the arm sticking out the front of the spline. it puts the arm closer to the front of the servo. sorry can't explain it any other way. these also have a ridge down the back for strength. i buy 1/4 inch longer and drill the spot for the length i need, then shorten. it moves the end of the ridge closer to the hole.

I think the horns that come with a lcc are the same length as the robotronics?

Yep, sick of going through the clamping style on my super. One serious roll and they are done for.

I have a theory that the splits in the clamping type allow for flex, I am just trying to see if it could help to have a non locking type.

Guess I will have to look into them later. I cant get their website to work.

No, quite a bit shorter.

Kinda bites that SWB quit sell these:

We must have two different robitronics arm, because i compared after i posted, and its not much longer, .05" maybe (from center to center of the mounting hole and farthest out hole)

I've had much longer clamping horns than my robotronics, so maybe there is a short and long version.
