TRX-4 2065 Servo Spring Horn Jig

thingiverse

My TRX-4 shift servo broke and I had to swap the spring loaded horn to a new servo. That did NOT go well. I broke the new servo instantly because I found out then you have to keep pressure on the top and the spring makes this almost impossible by hand . Well there's no convenient way to keep pressure on the top. I use a pair of vice grips which worked but you can only hold a small corner and it's kinda difficult. SO I built this jig to hold the center section of the horn down and there's a hole you can insert a driver and remove the screw and reinstall it on the servo after you line things up. There's very little effort required to remove the horn now! It's setup so you can use either side so you should be able to use this no matter what orientation your spring loaded horn is in. The shift and differential servos all use the same spring horn and are all 2065s so this will work on this as well as any other Traxxas that uses the 2065 servo with the same horn which should include the E-Maxx and Bandit I believe? Here's the Youtube video showing how to use this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrMNfvb2Fkg&t=3s
