Default servo question

I need a new servo because when i jumped my SV i landed with the tires turned and i guess that broke it b//c its cracked. But does the servo come with the part that connects the servo to the dogbone? Its called the servo right?- the thing on the car that turns the wheels?

thats bound to happen sooner or later our servos suck real bad. i put this one on my hurricane steering and its great.

i just put the one that comes on a hurricane in the tornado, the 1/8 th cars come with a metal geared hi-speed servo, it still sucks just not as bad.

do you mean the piece that connects to the top of the servo, if so its called a servo horn. usually the throttle linkage or steering linkage hooks up to it.

Default RE: servo question

go to your local hobby store with your servo horn and let them match it up to yours, that is the one though, all redats use the same servo horn, i have about 5 or more of them, lol
