Overview
The FTX Outlaw Servo Horns (FTX8343) are essential replacement parts designed for FTX scale RC buggies and trophy trucks. Whether you're running the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy or the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck, these servo horns are critical components that connect your radio receiver's servo signals to the steering and suspension mechanisms of your RC car. If you've damaged your existing servo horn during off-road bashing or competition racing, these genuine FTX spares ensure your RC car returns to factory performance standards. As a UK RC car enthusiast, you'll appreciate having quality replacement parts readily available to keep your brushless or brushed RC buggy running at peak performance throughout the racing season.
These servo horns are manufactured from durable plastic material and feature a fixed design (rather than a servo saver configuration), making them ideal for direct servo linkage applications on FTX's range of ultra-4 and trophy truck models. The 25-tooth spline design ensures a secure fit and reliable connection between your servo and the control rods that manage steering geometry and suspension travel. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying off-road trails or a serious competitor pushing your RC buggy to the limit, having spare servo horns on hand is essential maintenance for any dedicated RC car owner.
FTX Outlaw and Zorro owners know that consistent performance depends on quality spares and upgrades. These servo horns are genuine OEM parts that match the factory specifications of your RC buggy, ensuring compatibility and reliability that aftermarket alternatives cannot guarantee. Stock these spares in your pit box for peace of mind at the track or trail.
Key Features
- Fixed Design — Unlike servo saver horns that include a mechanical breakaway mechanism, these fixed servo horns provide a rigid connection between your servo and control linkages, delivering immediate and precise steering response that competition drivers demand from their RC buggies.
- 25-Tooth Spline Fitment — The 25-tooth spline design ensures a secure and positive engagement with compatible FTX servo shafts, preventing slippage or disconnection during aggressive driving and extreme suspension articulation on rocky terrain.
- Plastic Construction — Manufactured from durable plastic material, these servo horns offer an excellent balance of strength and weight savings compared to heavier metal alternatives, which is critical for maintaining the handling characteristics of your RC buggy.
- OEM Genuine Parts — As official FTX spares, these servo horns are engineered to exact factory specifications and are guaranteed compatible with your Outlaw or Zorro RTR model, eliminating fitment uncertainties that plague third-party alternatives.
- Affordable Replacement Option — At just £1.25, these servo horns represent exceptional value for maintaining your RC car's steering integrity without requiring expensive servo replacements.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw Servo Horns represent precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of modern RC buggies and trophy trucks. The 25-tooth spline interface creates a positive mechanical connection that transmits servo movement directly to your steering and suspension control rods with zero backlash. The fixed horn design (non-servo-saver) means that steering input is translated instantly to your wheels, providing the responsive handling characteristics essential for competition ultra-4 racing and recreational off-road driving. The plastic construction, whilst appearing simple, is engineered for the specific stress loads experienced during typical RC car operation—steering inputs, suspension articulation, and impact forces during jumps and obstacles. These servo horns are dimensionally matched to the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy (both brushed FTX5570 and brushless FTX5571 variants) as well as the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck family (brushed FTX5556B and brushless FTX5557WO models). The compatibility across both brushed and brushless variants demonstrates FTX's consistent design philosophy across their RC buggy and truck platforms, meaning you can confidently order these spares regardless of your drivetrain choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC models are these servo horns compatible with? — The FTX8343 servo horns are designed for the FTX Khaos 1/10 Brushless 4WD Truggy, FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy (both brushed and brushless), and the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck range (both brushed and brushless variants). These models share the same servo configuration and 25-tooth spline interface, making these spares universally compatible across the Outlaw and Zorro families.
- Are these servo horns suitable for beginners? — Yes, these are genuine OEM spares that are simple to install. If you've damaged your servo horn or need spares for maintenance, installation requires only basic RC knowledge and minimal tools. However, these are replacement parts rather than upgrades, so they are most relevant to existing Outlaw and Zorro owners rather than a starting point for newcomers to RC hobbies.
- What is the difference between a fixed servo horn and a servo saver horn? — Fixed servo horns (like the FTX8343) provide a rigid, direct connection between servo and control linkages, delivering instantaneous steering response and maximum precision. Servo saver horns incorporate a mechanical breakaway mechanism that can slip under extreme steering loads, protecting the servo from damage but sacrificing some steering immediacy. The FTX8343's fixed design is ideal for responsive driving; choose servo saver alternatives only if you prioritise servo protection over steering sensitivity.
- How often will I need to replace servo horns? — Under normal recreational use, servo horns should last for many months or years. However, crashes, impacts, and aggressive driving can damage these parts. Serious competitors and frequent bashers benefit from stocking spare horns in their pit box so they can maintain optimal performance throughout a racing day without waiting for repairs.
- Do I need any additional parts to complete installation? — The servo horns themselves install directly onto your existing servo shaft. Depending on your setup, you may need the FTX Outlaw/Zorro Servo Post Set (FTX8344) if you're also replacing the mounting post, or connecting rods and clevis pins if your linkage is damaged. These are sold separately as they are optional upgrades rather than requirements for servo horn installation.
