Airtronics aluminum servo arms

[Bob Kane]

I have used various thicknesses of plastic bag material to take up the slop between the output shaft and the arm/wheel. Cut a 1" circle, center it on the shaft, press the arm/wheel over the shaft, poke a hole in the plastic with a hobby knife, put the screw back in. They seem to hold up well.

The JR aluminum arm fit to the metal output shaft Airtronics servo is very good, but for some reason the fit to the plastic output gear is just a little sloppy. It should be a relatively tight fit, but it will slide on and off pretty easily.

I'm afraid then that you wouldn't be pleased with the fit of the JR Aluminum wheels on JR servo's either.  The splines are virtually identical I beleive.  I've used both wheels interchangably for a while with good success.  I don't think you'll find anyone making a dedicated wheel for Airtronics...and if they did, they'd label it for Airtronics/JR anyway...lol

Subject: Airtronics aluminum servo arms



Does anyone know of a source of aluminum servo arms made specifically for Airtronics servos? The best I could find were the heavy duty plastic with aluminum hub reinforcement, and an RC car set that is aluminum, but with plastic inserts to fit different brands of servos.

I have already called Central, Radio South, Tower, and Airtronics. I am not pleased with the fit of the JR aluminum wheels to Airtronics.

TIA

Anthony
