Answer RC Fuel filter & Servo horns

Answer RC Fuel filter & Servo horns

Answer-RC have released a number of new accessories including this fuel filter, with pressure stabilizing tube. Available in red or black it can be used as a conventional fuel filter on the engine supply line to ensure that no debris reaches your motor or as a pressure stabilizer on the exhaust return line. The latter reduces pressure spike in the tank making for a more reliable run. Also new from Answer-RC are these two CNC machined aluminum servo horns for ultimate durability. The first straight servo horn is designed to keep the arm in line with the gears and put less strain on the servo bearings. A specially designed clamping servo horn for ultimate security is supplied with 2 x screws and allen wrench for the perfect mounting. Both are available in red or black and in 23, 24 and 25T splines to suit all servos.
