JConcepts B6 series 15.5mm alloy servo horn

Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated’s 6th generation buggies and trucks is a 15.5mm aluminium servo arm. One of the critical points of racing comes from the steering servo and proper servo horn. The horn transfers all the torque from the servo to the steering bell cranks and this piece needs to be created with precision and durability. The JConcepts servo horn created for both 23T and 25T count has all the geometry necessary as a direct bolt-on for the B6, T6 and SC6 generation of vehicles. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The heavy-duty boss on top protects the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity.
