servo horn.
12. If necessary, ne tune the length of the center link to eliminate
any load on the steering system in the neutral position.
If you are using aftermarket servos, it is important to use servo
horns designed for E-Maxx. Optional steering servo horns are sold
separately for use with non-Traxxas servos.
