Default B4 longer servo horn

I'm struggling to get full lock on my B4 with a Savox low pro servo and kit horn, I've tried all the settings on my handset, but just can't get full lock. I'd like to fit a slightly longer servo horn but need one that has a good off-set so that the steering link does not hit the front of the servo, does anyone know of one?

I had that problem last week with same servo and horn. Stripped it down and re-zeroed the servo, then adjusted the length of the small linkage rod to the servo saver to make it longer and central at the new zero's position. I then upped my travel on my tranny from 100% to 135% and get full lock to the bump stops on the caster blocks. It also holds the wheel tight in to maintain full lock, rather than it being wobbly like it was set at 100%. loads more steering in practice on Tuesday between downpours.

Shane...

Ask northy, he is having exactly the same problem with identical gear, not sure he's got to the bottom of it either...

Hope that helps....

I've never understood why you should offset the horn by one spline from centre?

Same problem here until I checked tranny
You need to set the steering travel (not balance) at full.
You can then reduce the lock required by using the steering balance each side.
If your using KO it's easy
Let me know if you need further help
