Steering servo arm

[Lizardking]

I just noticed the stock steering servo arm doesn't fit the Hitec servo. The arm is splines are to large. What servo arm are you guys using?

one of the ones that came with the hitec, there's one single sided arm that's just right...just have to make the hole bigger

Cool, are they strong enough? They seem pretty thin compared to the stock one.


Thanks,


Shane

i saw that too. they are kinda skinny minnies. you can hop on tower hobbies site and get an alum arm for a few bucks. i don't use hitechs. every body likes them but i run scaner-rc servos.

That looks like the same spline/tooth config.

Whare can you buy those at?

mine have held up ok but i got duals so they've only got half the effort...may be too skinny for single steer

That's what I'm thinking. Getting ready to put on the steel gears. How tight should the nuts for the gears be? Is there a torque spec?

i didnt over tight'in. just snugged up. the nylo-nuts keep them on good

I noticed when I put on B gears the washer is loose but the nut is tight. The others ones are tight up against the gears. weird....

I use blue loctite on the nuts too.

Beach throttle has a nice servo arm it fits hitec. It has the screw hole to mount to servo but also has a pinch bolt to tighten down on the arm its called big daddy or something like that just had to cut the mounting hole a little bigger to get stock tie rod on.
