RE: scary and major problem
you need a new steering servo. you COULD replace the gears in the servo...but IMO it's not worth it.
A good upgrade would be a Futaba 3305. It also sounds like your servo saver was set a little tight

a Futaba would be a direct bolt-in. he wouldn't have to bother with finding a new servo arm for the Futaba 3305, he would with the hitec.

I didn't have to. I used the horn that came with the servo, just cut the tip of the horn with wire cutters or something. It doesn't really matter though.

if you force a Futaba-compatible servo horn over a Hitec servo you could easily strip the servo horn in an impact, thus ending your day until you find another servo horn. THAT is why you don't FORCE a servo horn on top of something where it doesn't belong.

RE: scary and major problem
you will have to use the single horn. But you will have to make it fit because it's too long to fit so you will have to cut it down shorter at the tip, look at my pics. i think the confusion here is thunderbirdjunkie thinks that STPWNNR is using the stock servo horn well he isn't. now i know this might not be true so please don't flame me
