Outcast Question regading servo replacement & horn

[WOT 88]

Found this forum last evening while researching the Traxxas/Hobbico matter and decided to join up. Was wondering why nobody can get a Nero, and landed here.

At any rate, I replaced the stock ADS-15 servo in my outcast along with a voltage hobbies servo mount. The replacement I used was a Hitec HS-7955T which is 24t, so of course the stock 25t servo horn wont work.... I've bought a few different horns, including a Losi one and Arrma one (AR 340056) but they are too short and do not have the clearance needed not to drag the nylon nut across the top of the servo. I have searched and see a lot of people talking about using the Hitec or Savox servos but not much info about the horns. Any advice?

The stock servo horn is 30mm long, the holes are 22mm on center, this is the closest I have found so far on Google http://www.gator-rc.com/gator-rc-servo-arm-30mm-hitec
Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.

Thank you sir for the efforts. I'll give it a shot.

MY savox is taller than the stock servo, so I had to use some spacers. I also ended up using an Axial Horn

What model Savox did you go with?

I finally gave up, sent the 24t Hitec servo back to Tower and bought a Savox 1210. I just threw the stock 25t horn back in. This servo seems a bit taller but link from the horn to the servo saver arm has roughly the same angle as the stock servo in my Kraton.

I'm really happy with this Savox servo. It is much faster that the Hitec.

I have the same one as you. My servo mount is from GKA though so maybe that's why I needed the spacer.

How Savox SAVSW1210SG performed?
is it stronger and durable more than the stock one?

Yes it is MUCH BETTER. However, there are a couple SAVOX that are not water proof like the 1210SG and can be had for less money. Had I thought about the fact that we get very little rain in Socal, I probably would have paid less for a non-waterproof version.

Great, it's working on that beast. The waterproof feature is great and makes you feel comfortable to drive it anywhere.

Yep, and when it does rain, I can go drifting with less concerns.
