Default steering servo twitches
so i have only run maybe 10 packs thru this thing and the steering seems to twitch when i go from full turn to strait and kinda stays turned. then after a few seconds straitens back out.. any suggestions what it could be?

bolts right on same size!

then you can run a custom alum servo horn and a custom tie rod like this
I was looking at that servo horn on fleabay, did u need to cut and sand it down to fit the length? Thinking of getting the horn and making a futon tie rod as well!

X3 on the Hitec MG servo! Power, reliability, and speed....best $26 I've spent and my fav mod so far. Chuck that Losi servo, it'll shit the bed sooner than later.

I've been looking for that servo but the only ones I can find have the airplane style "horn" on them. Do they always come like that?

Also, what horn is that?

No worries, it comes with extra horns in the box. U just have to use the normal horn and cut it slightly shorter...

See my thread, u can see how it looks on my rig: LMRC Phantom Carbon 01

I ended up using the four armed horn, just clipped 3 of them off.
