Overview
The Fastrax 24T Black Aluminium Double Servo Horn (Hitec) is an essential replacement part for RC enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability in their remote control vehicles. Whether you're piloting a competition-grade crawler, bashing across rough terrain, or fine-tuning a track-day runner, a quality servo horn is crucial for consistent steering control and responsive handling. This aluminium servo arm is designed specifically for Hitec servo compatibility, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement for RC car UK enthusiasts who take their equipment seriously.
Servo horns are the mechanical link between your servo motor and your vehicle's steering mechanism. A worn, damaged, or poorly engineered servo horn can result in sloppy steering response, unpredictable handling characteristics, and frustrating performance inconsistencies that ruin both competitive runs and casual weekend bashing sessions. The Fastrax 24T Black Aluminium Double Servo Horn addresses this need with precision manufacturing and robust aluminium construction designed to withstand the demands of modern RC racing and off-road driving.
Built from high-quality black aluminium, this double servo horn combines lightweight construction with exceptional strength and rigidity. The 24-tooth specification provides the precise engagement geometry needed for smooth, predictable steering input transmission. Whether you're running a brushless RC car UK model, a nitro-powered competitor, or an electric crawler, having the correct servo horn specification ensures your steering system performs at its absolute peak, delivering the responsive control that separates champion drivers from the rest of the field.
Key Features
- 24-Tooth Design — The 24-tooth spline count is a proven standard that balances steering sensitivity with mechanical advantage, providing the ideal ratio for most RC applications without introducing slack or over-sensitive response characteristics that would compromise handling precision and feedback.
- Black Aluminium Construction — Manufactured from durable black aluminium alloy, this servo horn combines lightweight engineering with exceptional rigidity and strength, resisting bending and deformation even under extreme steering loads during hard cornering, jumps, and aggressive off-road driving.
- Double Arm Configuration — The double-arm design allows for flexible mounting options and steering linkage setups, giving you versatility to dial in the perfect steering geometry for your specific vehicle setup, whether you're building a competition crawler or a high-speed off-road racer.
- Hitec Servo Compatibility — Engineered specifically for Hitec servo splines, this servo horn ensures perfect fitment and secure engagement with your Hitec servo, eliminating the possibility of incompatibility issues that could compromise steering reliability during critical moments in a race or run.
- Precision Machining — Each servo horn is precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect spline engagement, consistent fit across all mounting points, and the mechanical repeatability that competitive RC drivers demand from their equipment.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish — The black aluminium finish resists oxidation and corrosion, protecting your servo horn from the damaging effects of moisture, dust, and the harsh environmental conditions encountered in outdoor RC driving without requiring constant maintenance or replacement.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 24T Black Aluminium Double Servo Horn represents the intersection of precision engineering and practical RC performance requirements. Aluminium was specifically chosen as the material of construction because it offers the optimal balance of weight, strength, and durability that modern RC vehicles demand. Unlike plastic alternatives that can strip, crack, or deform under sustained steering loads, this aluminium servo horn maintains its dimensional accuracy and spline integrity across thousands of steering cycles, whether you're competing in a heated race or enjoying recreational bashing sessions. The 24-tooth specification is engineered to work seamlessly with Hitec servos, ensuring perfectly matched spline geometry that eliminates backlash and provides crisp, immediate steering response. The double-arm configuration accommodates various linkage mounting styles, giving you the freedom to optimise your steering geometry for track-specific conditions, different servo mounting angles, and diverse vehicle platforms. Whether you're driving a competition-grade RC crawler navigating technical rock gardens, a brushless RC car UK racer attacking tarmac circuits at high speed, or an off-road basher exploring natural terrain, this servo horn delivers the mechanical reliability and performance consistency that separates mediocre setups from championship-winning builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax 24T servo horn suitable for my Hitec servo? — Yes, this servo horn is engineered specifically for Hitec servo compatibility, featuring 24-tooth spline design that matches perfectly with Hitec servo outputs, ensuring secure engagement and reliable steering transmission without any fitment issues.
- What makes aluminium servo horns better than plastic alternatives for RC cars? — Aluminium offers significantly superior strength, rigidity, and durability compared to plastic servo horns. Aluminium resists deformation under hard steering loads, maintains dimensional accuracy across thousands of steering cycles, resists corrosion and moisture damage, and provides the precise mechanical performance that serious RC enthusiasts and competitors demand from their equipment.
- Can I use this servo horn on different RC vehicles? — The Fastrax 24T servo horn is compatible with any RC vehicle using a Hitec servo, including crawlers, buggies, trucks, and other remote control cars. However, you should verify that your specific vehicle's servo mount and linkage setup are designed for a 24-tooth servo horn before purchasing.
- Why is the double-arm configuration beneficial? — The double-arm design provides mounting flexibility that allows you to adjust steering geometry, choose between different linkage mounting points, and optimise the steering response for your specific driving style and vehicle setup, whether you prefer responsive quick-turn characteristics or more linear, predictable steering behaviour.
- How does this servo horn improve steering performance? — By replacing a worn, damaged, or inferior servo horn with this precision-engineered Fastrax aluminium part, you eliminate mechanical slack, ensure crisp servo response, improve steering feedback, and achieve the responsive control that makes a tangible difference in competitive performance and overall driving enjoyment on any RC track or terrain.
- Is this part easy to install? — The Fastrax 24T servo horn installs directly onto your Hitec servo's spline output shaft using a set screw or retaining clip, depending on your servo model. Installation takes just a few minutes with basic tools and is within the capability of RC enthusiasts at any skill level.
