Default Spektrum servos

I just received my new DX 3.0 and thought I'd install one of the servos as it is an upgrade from what is on the buggy. Do I need to use Spektrum servo horns? The servo horn I took off the car seems to have finer splines that do not fit onto the Spektrum servo. Thanks

the servos are the same as JR so any servo horn that will fir the jr servos will work.

Your spektrum servos probably wont last that long. I went through 6 of them on my Losi 8ight in a month and a half.

Thats good to know--are they any worse than an original Ofna servo that is being replaced?

The higher torque one 590 85oz torque speed.15 is ok for brake and throttle but that is about it. Get a good servo for your steering you will not regret it. I run 172oz with .13 speed on my buggy.

I've already got a Hitec high torque servo for the steering duties--the Spektrum is going to replace the original Ofna throttle /brake servo. Will I need the same amount of throw on the new servo as the old one in light of having a new servo and radio?
