Stripped Servo Horn Or Stripped Servo Gear?

[305HemiGuy]

Hey guys, was wondering if maybe some of you could offer some insight before I start tearing this thing down. I was running my K6 the other day and lost steering. Upon closer inspection, the black screw attaching the horn to the servo itself is the only thing that turns when I give it steering input. I even tried tightening that black screw, thinking maybe it was loose, but when I turn the screw it sounds like it's actually turning the gears inside the servo, the screw doesn't tighten down anymore than it already is. So at this point I'm thinking I either stripped the teeth on the servo horn, or something else is going on that I can't quite pinpoint at the moment. I attached a picture so you can see the black screen attaching the servo horn to the servo that I'm talking about. Thanks.

A metal horn Should have came with that aftermarket servo you installed...

For sure.. they definitely don't come with plastic from the factory for a reason..

Believe it or not guys, there was no metal horn included. This is a picture of the servo with everything that came in the box. I think I may have a spare Spektrum metal horn laying around.
