|  Alluminum Servo horns I have seen a couple of people using alluminum servo horns on 1/10 servos. Does any one know were I can get some of these? Thanks Ryan |

| Any hobby shop, either online or locally. Just figure out what style splines your servo uses (futaba, hitec) and get one that matches. |

| Just be carefull if you plan to put a aluminum servo horn onto a plastic servo gear.... the gear won't last. Metal geared servos with a metal output work best with a metal horn. |

| Good point. Also keep in mind that even the metal geared servos are not indestructable. I've blown up 3 sets of metal gears since I switched to aluminum servo horns. |

| I also use the plastic arms that come with the 645s. And even those are strong enough to strip the metal gears first. I did have one shear though. I wish they all did...damn stripped gears... |

| Ofna makes some that have a plastic adapter to fit most servo splines. Plus they strip before the gears break usually. My TXT has stripped out a few but my TLT's have not. So tire size makes a difference. |
