Looking at using the shaft from a Tamiya High Lift steering box on a new build.
It has splines on both ends for servo arms.
I want to use more compact aluminum arms on it in my build.

Does anyone know what spline this is?
I mainly use Hitec servos and non of my arms fit.

Anyone have a link to a good servo spline reference page that gives spline count and diameter?

sweli · 02-23-2012, 05:19 PM

I think I counted either 14 or 15 splines.
The shaft is 5mm.

I found these links:

If it only has 14 to 15 splines then its not a servo horn as they are all 23 to 25

I can confirm that no servo horns will fit it. The splines are much bigger than a servo horn. I'm pretty sure I have a complete spare set I'd sell to you if you want one. I'd have to check to be sure.

Thanks. I have a complete set though. 2shafts, 2mounts, 4 arms. I was just wanting to shave a little overall height of the assembly on build I am working on.

Oh ok. Well you might be able to cut down the shaft a little and then cut down the lower spacer part on the arm to lower it a little.
