Robitronic Aluminium Servo-arms

Robitronic now offers a new lineup of sturdy and ultra-reliable servo-arms. These new items are not your average run-off-the-mill alloy servo-horn, because they add a clever clamping mechanism that grips the servo’s spline with enough force, so that you’ll never lose or strip another servo arm again. Even if the servo’s spline-screw works itself loose, you can safely keep on racing since our clamp-style servo arms will still provide a firm grip. Available in 4 different versions and in 23T, 24T, 25T splines, each arm is laser-etched with the spline number and Robitronic logo.
