Robitronic aluminium servo-arms

Robitronic aluminium servo-arms

Robitronic now offers a new lineup of sturdy and ultra-reliable servo-arms. They add a clever clamping mechanism that grips the servo’s spline with enough force, so that you’ll never lose or strip a servo arm again. Even if the servo’s spline screw works itself loose, you can safely keep on racing since the clamp-style servo arms will still provide a firm grip. Laser-etching tells you the spline indexing, (23T, 24T, 25T) they’re built for.
