Looks like I will have to do similar setup cause mine did not come w/ the servo horn at all.. (hence no brass collar..)

Yes I did, but it did not have the brass collar that is bolted to the servo horn. I used a Tamiya standard issue M3 screw instead and it works quite well.

On the servo side, you just use a stock futaba horn. The chassis side has a slotted control horn. That is the one you need?
