Servo Horns With Square Mount?

Post by morrisey0 »

I have some Tower servos, and they have square mounts on them. Anyone know of another manufacturer that does/did the same? Or directly where to get horns that would fit?

Several had those early on. Futaba and Novak come to mind but there were others.

I just verified with a recent purchase of a Tamiya 50204 servo saver kit that the square drive adapter is still included.

Thanks Jeff! I have three 0115065 Tam saver kits on the way, but I don't think they have the square adapter, although it is hard to tell from pics. I was planning on using one servo with a MSC, so still need to figure out a standard horn. Looking into printing gears right now, so maybe I can come up with something that can convert the square to 25 tooth.

If you aren’t going to be pushing them too hard I’m pretty sure the 24 spline horn presses on. For a mechanical speedo it would be fine. From memory the majority of the square horns are going to be white in color.

They aren't included on the 115065 tree, only Futaba and large/small Sanwa.

The high torque versions doesn't have it either.

I think that I have a couple partial 50204 trees laying around.

Just bumping this to see if anyone has a source for these horns. I am putting a couple of Futaba FP-S7s on a build, and they have the same square output shaft. I have searched high and low for a source for horns, but am coming up empty. :x

Scratch that! As soon as I post, I find some on ebay! :roll: :lol:
