It looks really nice but like you said, where does it go? It looks really super duper uber heavy duty.

Remember what I did to my Racers Edge servo horn in post #20, well my ACE 1015 servo couldn't take it for very long. The Racers Edge horn is 3/4'' long and the mod I did made it 1'' long. The extra throw was nice and made the steering very fast as the servo didn't have to move as much to lock the wheels left to right but the extra leverage this long horn put on the gears was too much for my ACE. The same thing happened on my nitro Revo that had the same set up. So after replacing the gears in both servos, I went back to the stock length of 3/4'' that the Racers Edge horns had originally and this should fix the problem. The steering is a little slower but fast enough to satisfy me. More high end servos may have stronger gears that can withstand the extra leverage that a 1'' horn puts on the gears so I think it is still a good mod but you gotta have the servo to go with it.
