Heavy duty servo horns.

[Thorsteenster]

Who has or where do I get the beefiest, strongest servo horn for a Futaba servo?
I was looking at one of these from Servo City but figured I'd find if anything out was stronger.

Thanks guys!

Just about any metal horn would be stronger than plastic. Hanger 9, Racer's Edge, Dynamite and OFNA among others sell those in all kinds of configurations. All you need to remember is that Futaba uses a 25 spline output shaft and a 2mm screw.

Losi has a futaba pitch horn that is very strong. We had alot of people complain about the dynamite arms bending. I 've done in 2 myself. JR just came out with a HD arm but I did not see a Futaba application for it.

Some of those plastic arms that came with my hitec seemed pretty stout.
I also like the idea of my arm failing, before my $100 servo

I don't know if this in an option or not, but check if you have the clearance to move your servo back a 1/4" or so...

improves approach, and reduces arm hangups

Got a link to this? Just got a new 8711 and my 650m will bend the Dynamites

Believe me, even a Hitec servo will bend an aluminum servo horn before the servo fails.

The SWB arms here are the best I found.

Wow theres some good looking options there. Have you tried more than the SWB? The MPI's and even the SLP's look to be a solid improvement over the Dynamites.

Sweet, thanks Triple6, I'm gonna get an MLB and a SWB. What length do you use? I fiure I'll get 1.25" or 1.5" and shorten if need be.

SWB works on my 40 percent scale airplane, they are the best servo arms.

Go SWB

also the JR arm is a split arm and will work on hitec fyi

 

[Thorsteenster]

The SWB looks like it sits pretty close in to the servo, I'm digging it. I think I'll just order a 2", drill a hole where I need it and cut the rest off. I kinda figure the predrilled holes in the shorter one could be a weak point.

wonder if if those horns will work on Airtronics servos.:?:
