AS1368

Overview

The Associated FT Aluminium Clamping Servo Horn 25T 20mm (AS1368) is a precision-engineered component designed specifically for 1/10 scale touring cars competing in the UK RC car scene. Whether you're upgrading your existing setup or building a high-performance touring car from scratch, this servo horn delivers the responsiveness and reliability that serious RC enthusiasts demand. Manufactured from premium 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, this component represents the kind of quality engineering that Associated is renowned for across the RC hobby worldwide.

This isn't just a basic servo horn — it's a carefully optimised part that directly impacts how your RC car responds to steering inputs. The 20.0mm length and 25T spline configuration work together to provide smoother, more linear steering response, which is crucial when you're chasing lap times on the track or pushing your touring car to its limits. For anyone serious about RC car performance in the UK, having the right servo components makes a tangible difference to handling and control precision.

As an authorised Associated retailer based in the UK, RC Model Shop stocks genuine Factory Team components like this servo horn, ensuring you get authentic products with full compatibility and performance guarantees. Whether you're a seasoned competitor, a weekend racer, or someone discovering the world of precision RC touring cars for the first time, this component will help you achieve better steering response and more predictable handling characteristics.

Key Features

• 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — This servo horn is machined from premium 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, one of the strongest aluminium grades available for RC applications. This material choice ensures the horn resists bending and maintains its shape under the constant stress of servo operation, which directly translates to more consistent steering feel and reduced play in your RC car's steering system.
• Clamping Servo Horn Design — The clamping mechanism provides a secure, positive grip on your servo spline without relying on a single screw to hold everything in place. This design distributes pressure more evenly across the spline, reducing the risk of slipping or loosening during aggressive steering inputs, and ensuring your steering response remains precise lap after lap.
• 25T Spline with Laser-Etched Size Marking — Compatible with Futaba and Savox servo splines, this 25T horn is immediately identifiable thanks to the laser-etched spline size marking. This makes it incredibly easy to grab the right horn in the pit box during a race, and the laser etching won't fade or wear off like printed markings, maintaining clear identification throughout your RC car's lifetime.
• 20.0mm Length for Smoother Steering Response — The precisely calculated 20.0mm length optimises the mechanical advantage and leverage of the servo horn, resulting in smoother, more linear steering response that feels more connected and responsive to your transmitter inputs. This length is specifically engineered for 1/10 scale touring car applications, matching the geometry that Associated's Factory Team has refined through thousands of hours of competitive racing.
• Includes Large M2.5 Screw — Everything you need comes in the box: the servo horn arrives complete with a substantial M2.5 screw designed to securely fasten the horn to your servo spline. This quality fastener ensures a rock-solid connection that won't loosen or vibrate free during intense racing sessions.
• Optimised for 1/10 Scale Touring Car Applications — This is not a universal horn designed to fit everything — it's specifically engineered for 1/10 scale touring cars, the most competitive and popular class in UK RC racing. This focused design ensures perfect geometry, ergonomics, and performance for this specific application.

Technical Performance

The Associated FT Aluminium Clamping Servo Horn represents serious engineering for serious RC competitors. Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, this material is chosen specifically for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to fatigue, making it ideal for the repetitive stress cycles that occur during extended racing sessions. The 25T spline configuration is the standard for Futaba and Savox servos commonly used in competitive 1/10 scale touring cars, ensuring universal compatibility across a wide range of popular RC car models available in the UK. The 20.0mm length has been precisely calculated to optimise the steering response curve, providing a balance between servo throw and steering sensitivity that works perfectly with the geometry of modern 1/10 touring car chassis. The clamping design is particularly clever from an engineering perspective — rather than relying on a single point of contact, the clamping mechanism distributes force across multiple contact points on the servo spline, dramatically reducing the likelihood of slipping or play developing during hard cornering or aggressive steering inputs. This is the kind of detail that separates Factory Team components from budget alternatives. The laser-etched spline size marking is both practical and durable, providing instant visual identification without the wear issues associated with printed or painted markings. In competitive racing environments where pit crews need to make quick adjustments, this laser etching ensures you can instantly identify the correct horn type under pit box lighting conditions. Whether you're running your touring car on a tight technical track or pushing high-speed sections, this servo horn maintains the precise steering geometry your car needs to perform at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What servo spline does this 25T horn fit? — This 25T servo horn is compatible with Futaba and Savox servo splines, which are the most widely used spline standards in RC touring cars. If you're unsure whether your servo has a 25T spline, check your servo documentation or contact our team at RC Model Shop who can advise on compatibility for your specific setup.
• Why is the 20.0mm length important for steering response? — The length of a servo horn directly affects the mechanical leverage and steering sensitivity of your RC car. The 20.0mm length on this Associated horn has been specifically optimised for 1/10 scale touring cars to provide a smooth, linear steering response that feels natural and predictable, making it easier to make fine adjustments through corners and maintain consistency throughout a race.
• Is this suitable for beginners or only experienced racers? — While this is a Factory Team component designed for serious competition use, it's equally suitable for any RC enthusiast who wants better steering response and reliability, regardless of experience level. If you're upgrading from a standard servo horn, you'll notice an immediate improvement in steering feel and precision. Beginners setting up their first 1/10 touring car will benefit from starting with quality components like this.
• What's the difference between a clamping horn and a standard horn? — A standard servo horn typically relies on a single screw to hold it on the servo spline, while this clamping design uses a mechanical clamp that distributes pressure across multiple points on the spline. This clamping approach is more secure, less likely to slip under hard steering inputs, and reduces the chance of developing play or looseness that can affect steering precision.
• Will this servo horn fit my RC touring car? — This servo horn is specifically designed for 1/10 scale touring cars and features a 25T Futaba/Savox spline, so compatibility depends on your servo type and spline count. If your car uses a Futaba or Savox servo with a 25T spline, this will be a perfect fit. If you're unsure about your servo compatibility, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is happy to help identify the right component for your setup.
• Is the laser-etched marking durable? — Yes, laser etching is one of the most durable marking methods available. Unlike printed or painted markings that can fade or wear off with handling and use, laser etching is burned directly into the aluminium surface, remaining clear and visible throughout the component's lifetime, even after years of competitive use and pit box handling.
