Will hitech servos accept futaba servo horns ? if not, which ones can I use ?

I don't believe they will. I just tried a couple them that I had laying around, no joy.

Cheers!

I think Futaba's are different than anyone else's.
Hitec, Tower Hobbies and Hobbico are interchangeable.
JR and Airtronics are interchangeable.

there are two hitec servo arms so don't mix them up..the new digitals use an arm with a plus stamped on them and the old ones will fit but are loose enough to strip under load. check out airwild modles for a great deal on alum arms for all servos.

what is the phone # and/or web site for airwild models ?


thanx for the reply. I was going to use century metal arms, I never knew the digitald had diferent dimensions ...

this is worse than connector compatibility ...

Be careful here. Some Tower/Hobbico servos are relabelled Hitecs, others are Futabas.

Watch out for these so called "interchangable" servo arms. Although they may have the same spline count, most of them do not have the same major diameter and minor diameter.

What does this mean when you try to "interchange" them ... slop ! Depend on what your applications are, some of you may not care about that little slop. But word of caution ... a little slop will develop into a "big" slop!

Unfortunately only Hitec servo arms will work. Tower Hobbies and Hobbico servos are private labeled from Hitec and will fit; however, I am not sure if the are selling arms separately.

We also make new aluminum servo arms. Part number 55701 for the 3/4" single sided and 55702 for the 1" double sided!

Just curious...what Hitec servos are you using?

Airwild Hobbies also has great arms for Hitec and other servos.
