Kraton Servo horn failure?!?

[Jluther@becoinc]

I have been using Hot Racing servo links on my 6s rigs. Here lately I’ve had several strip or one even broke in half. Does anyone know of a better option for the 6s line? I’d like to have a steel horn but can’t find one. What do you guys recommend?

Stock has never let me down

I've used stock & the Hot Racing one. Haven't had one break. But there is a metal one, not aluminum, only reason I know, is I have a Redcat basher with one. It was stock.

Actually that metal one may be too flat for a K6. Sits nearly flush against the top of the servo. 6s links go underneath the horn. This would put the link too far away from the bellcrank. My bad. I had to go look, pic of the Redcat

Horn Purchased on ebay under a Sharegoo name. 25T with double clamp screws + use of the center post screw.
Link is a modified HR with PEEK bearing sleeves at each end.
It has withstood a 400 in/oz servo and end to end tumbles .... Seems REALLY Stout

I’ve had good luck with the GPM horns and links. Their links are better than most and don’t really have any slop to them.

Really pleased with the setup that I made for my Infraction, especially the Promodeler horn. the linkage is a Ti turnbuckle and Yeah Racing billet ends. Time will tell how quickly the wear will set in and develop some slop, but after 10+ packs of bashing it's still as tight as when I installed it. Bashing off-road, thats going to accelerate the wear.
Ironman RC also has a HR knock-off setup..

I also just got the Yeah Racing 3mm end links and titanium turnbuckle to build a link for a car I’m doing now. Good to hear you like the setup, and good to know it’s still tight after 10 packs. I was wondering how the longevity would be.
Thats a pretty sick build you have there, man.

I use the Sharegoo one on my Fireteam.

Thx Dan, I am really enjoying it.
Just not the wear & tear... It was so purdy when I finished the build!

Hell I stripped another HR one yesterday. I can say one thing The Perfect Pass servo is pretty damn tough. I broke one horn in half and then the one yesterday stripped.Servo still works flawlessly. I really am impressed and it’s somewhat cheaper than the Raw 500 or the other high cost servos

Hot Racing is garbage IMO!

Some of their stuff is good, definitely not servo horns tho.

The HOT racing, Sharegoo and like "LINKS" also are a piss poor design.
They assemble them with NO lubrication and they Waller out & wear out very quickly !!!
When NEW, If you Remove one o-ring at each end, push out the screw post/insert & place a daub of Moly paste in there and reassemble there much longer lasting.

Picture is the links I speak of ... The o-rings where secure the posts within the link are clearly visible.
