The off set servo horn for the throttle and brake linkage does not fit my Hitec servo. The other servo horns that come with it that fit the servo will not allow me to run one brake rod below like I need to. I have looked and I will look some more for a horn that looks like it will work. Does any one know of a horn or set up that will work with a Hitec servo? Is so please include a link or part number.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Use one of the couple hundred servo horns that you got with your servo, lol.
I got a ton of servo horns with my 5945.

I have a bunch of Hitec servo horns but none that will give me enough clearance to run the brake linkage with one under and one on top of the horn with out hitting the servo so bad it will lock it up. The one that comes with the kit has an off set and none of the ones that come with Hitec servos have that. They will not work I have tried. Thanks for the input.

BTW, I'm loving the Hyper 8. I only use it for bashing, and have an RB28 in it.
I'll try to find the brand of the linkage kit when I next visit my LHS and let you know.....
EDIT:
Found the part:

I had the same problem with my throttle servo also. I'm using the stock OFNA RTR servo and I just used 2 glow plug washers as spacers and it works fine. You just can't tighten it all the way or the servo barely moves.

I found an Ofna horn in my pit box that works but the bottom brake rod fitting is touching the servo a little. Since I do not have a receiver in it I cannot check it right now. Hope to get a receiver next week and if I get to antsy I could take one out of one of my race trucks but really do not want to. I all so found this that looks to be what H8Basher is talking about. There should be more types of horns in the kit. I am all so a little disappointed as there has been some small thing missing in the kit. Luckily this is far from my first kit and I have plenty of spare parts!

Even with that linkage setup you may need to file/grind the bottom a little before installing it. I know it just barely scraped the top of an Airtronincs servo.
