Overview
The Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 Black is an essential replacement or upgrade component for RC enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and precision in their servo control systems. Whether you're piloting a rock crawler, a competitive off-road buggy, or any RC car that relies on accurate steering and throttle response, a quality servo horn makes all the difference to your driving experience. This fixed servo horn from Fastrax is engineered to provide dependable performance in demanding RC applications, making it a trusted choice for hobby builders and competitive racers alike.
Servo horns are critical components that connect your servo motor to the steering linkages and throttle mechanisms in your RC model. A worn, damaged, or poorly designed horn can result in lost motion, imprecise steering input, and reduced overall control precision—exactly what you want to avoid whether you're bashing in the garden or competing at your local track. The Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 Black delivers the robustness and compatibility you need to keep your RC car performing at its best.
Available now from RC Model Shop, this is an affordable yet high-quality solution for anyone needing to replace a damaged servo horn or upgrade their existing setup. With its universal multi-fitment design and proven track record in the RC community, the Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 Black represents genuine value for money.
Key Features
- Fixed Servo Saver Design — This servo horn uses a fixed mounting system rather than a servo saver mechanism, which means it provides direct, rigid connection between your servo and control linkages. This design choice ensures zero lost motion and maximum precision in steering and throttle control, critical for maintaining the responsiveness your RC model demands during high-speed runs or technical terrain.
- Black Plastic Construction — Manufactured from durable plastic material, the servo horn combines lightweight properties with sufficient strength to handle the stresses of everyday RC use. Plastic horns offer excellent corrosion resistance compared to metal alternatives, making them ideal for outdoor use in all UK weather conditions without risk of rust or degradation.
- Multi-Fitment Compatibility — Engineered with universal mounting compatibility, this servo horn works with multiple servo brands and RC models, eliminating the need to stock different horns for different vehicles. Whether you're running Traxxas, Losi, Team Associated, Axial, or other popular RC platforms, this versatile component should suit your application.
- Authentic Fastrax Quality — Fastrax is a recognised manufacturer of RC parts and accessories with a strong reputation for reliability. Choosing Fastrax means you're investing in parts that have been tested in real-world RC conditions by hobbyists and competitors across the UK and internationally.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 Black exemplifies practical engineering for RC servo applications. Its fixed mounting design eliminates compliance and backlash, delivering the crisp, responsive control that RC enthusiasts expect when they input steering commands or throttle adjustments. The plastic construction has been carefully selected to balance durability with weight efficiency—a critical consideration in RC design where every gramme matters for performance. Unlike servo savers, which intentionally introduce flex to protect servo gears during impacts, this fixed horn prioritises absolute precision and direct control input transfer. This makes it particularly valuable for tuning-sensitive applications where you need to dial in exact steering geometry and throttle response curves. The universal multi-fitment design means this horn integrates with a wide range of servo spline patterns, making it an economical spare part to keep in your RC toolbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a servo horn and why do I need it? — A servo horn is the mechanical arm that connects your RC servo motor to the steering linkages and throttle cables in your model. When your servo rotates, the horn rotates with it, translating that motion into steering input or throttle control. Without a quality servo horn, you lose precision and responsiveness. The Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 Black provides the rigid, direct connection needed for reliable control.
- What does fixed servo saver mean? — A fixed servo horn has no compliance or give in its connection—it transfers servo motion directly to the control linkage with zero flex. This contrasts with servo savers, which intentionally allow some play to protect the servo gears from impact damage. Choose fixed horns when you prioritise precision and control feel; choose servo savers when you're bashing hard and want to protect your servo from shock loads.
- Is this servo horn compatible with my RC model? — The Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 Black features multi-fitment design, which means it's engineered to work with many popular servo brands and RC platforms. However, servo compatibility ultimately depends on the spline pattern of your specific servo. We recommend checking your servo documentation or contacting our team at RC Model Shop if you're unsure whether this horn will fit your particular model.
- Can I use this on a rock crawler, buggy, or other RC vehicle type? — Yes, this servo horn is suitable for use across multiple RC vehicle types including crawlers, buggies, trucks, and short course vehicles. The universal design makes it one of the most versatile servo horns available for UK RC hobbyists. However, for specialist applications, always verify that the spline pattern matches your servo.
- Why choose plastic over metal servo horns? — Plastic servo horns like the Fastrax offer several advantages: they're lightweight (important for overall RC performance), they won't rust in wet UK weather conditions, and they're more affordable than aluminium alternatives. For most hobby-level RC applications, plastic horns provide excellent durability and reliability. Metal horns are typically only necessary for extreme competitive racing where maximum rigidity is paramount.
- What's the difference between the Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 and other servo horn options? — The Fastrax Super Servo Horn 2 Black is distinguished by its fixed mounting design, proven multi-fitment compatibility, and the backing of the Fastrax brand reputation. It's designed as a universal replacement that works across multiple platforms, making it economical for RC enthusiasts who run multiple models. Other horns may be model-specific or brand-specific, whereas this offers broader compatibility.
