I know the servo is 15t spline, but is it savox style? My savox style horn don't fit it.

They are both 15 spline that's why I'm asking. The spektrum is listed as a standard mega spline output, the horn is a savox style. The servo for that horn wouldn't fit the stock servo saver, but everyone claims it fits on Facebook. So I am trying to verify what the actual spline type is before I buy another servo. So there is more to it than tooth count. Nothing new.Large Scale servos like most standard servos may require a spline specific horn. Spline counts can vary. Not new. Spektrum and others use differing spline counts. Count the splines. Get the correct horn for the S905.

Ok. I bought a hobbystar servo, it's spec is "15t savox style" and it was a tight fit with the stock servo saver, really tight. So I tried the aluminum horn that came with the servo and it fit the hobbystar servo, but not the stock servo. So when I started looking it up, spektrum lists their servo as a standard mega spline 15t, and the hobbystar was listed as a 15t savox style.There is no Savox style that I've heard of. 15t spline is 15t spline. The stock saver should work with a Savox large scale servo. It's a very tight fit but its supposed to be so you will have to use force while installing it.
So all 15t 1/5 servos should fit the stock servo saver?
To be honest I didn't think it was that bad coming off. Not as hard as it was trying to put it on the other servo. My next question is then, why does my aluminum servo horn fit the hobbystar servo just fine but will not fit the spektrum servo at all?Yep. Tightly. They are supposed to be. Remember taking the saver off the stock servo? It was really on there. Same thing putting it back on a new servo.
I'm going to order a new servo. I don't think I can find replacement gears for this hobbystar. I'll grab that primal servo everyone likes. I'll compare the horn on that one too.Every manufacturers spline can be a few microns off from one another. It would be as simple as aluminum not having the same give/flex as plastic. Just a tad different tolerances could be the meaning of a lose fit but still works to a super hammer on tight fit and it still works. I bet if you muscled the aluminum horn on the lip, screwing it down would suck it in. Don’t try it though, you want that stock saver.

Thanks for all your help.
I emailed rcjuice about replacement gears for that hobbystar servo Sunday night. Didn't hear back from them so today I ordered the primal servo. Literally the same time I get my order confirmation through email, rcjuice replied and let me know they just got the gears in stock. So I bought those too! Haha. Crap.I am running the hobbystar and works fantastic. You do have to add some washers on the special screw so you can fully tighten the servo savor. Most people don't even do this. Non of the o rings should be visable after installation.
Ok. Got my primal servo. Got some pics while I had it apart. These teeth are clearly different. The dull silver is the primal, copper colored is spektrum, and shiny silver is hobbystar. Primal and spektrum are the same, while the hobbystar is clearly different. Meaning there is more than one style 15t servo.
It has a screw broke off in it. I polished the end smooth, because I chewed the tip up trying to get the screw out.Where is the screw hole to mount the saver on the hobbystar?
Yeah it's a different pattern. My aluminum horn for the hobbystar isn't even close to fitting the stock or primal servo.My Banggood spt 70g servo is not the same as the spectrum either. The servo saver was a little tight and the tapped hole shallower. Works superb though...

The servo saver would go on, but very tight. It would disfigure the spline material in the servo saver. On the opposite, the servo saver fit just fine on the primal, slid on like all other servo horns do when they match up.So the splines are not cut as far down as the others which would make the saver not go on as tight...
