New issue with 1/5 kraton servo saver , the servo is 18 t and the available servo spline adaptors are 15 and 17 t only

[Karim]

Hi guyz it seems this roller will just stay sitting beside me with issue after the other
Now i found out the the servo that came with it is Ds 5160 with 18 t and the supplied with the kit servo spline adaptors are 15 and 17 t only
i searched online for applicable 18 t spline adabters but couldnt find any , so any solution guyz ?

Not sure what you are even trying to do? Do you need a new servo saver for it? Are you trying to put a different servo horn on it? No idea how to help you here.

The servo that came with the used karaton was installed with just a 18t metal servo horn and the previous owner already removed the servo saver
so i tried to install the servo saver instead but found out that the servo saver uses 15t or 17t spiline adapters but the already installed servo had a 18t so i guess thats why the previous owner used the metal servo horn
So the question is what is my options if i wanted to install the servo saver ?

You can't install that servo saver with a 18T spline servo. Youd have to buy a new servo like THIS one.

or you can buy a new servo horn.

He wanted a servo saver, the metal arm would probably kill the servo in crashes.

i read online that the servo will be killed without the saver but i just can’t install it
and i dont want to keep using the same 18t metal horn i found with it , its the same arm in the links greywolf provided
so i guess no option but to buy a whole new servo or what

Either go with the aluminum arm, or buy a new servo. Not having any luck finding an 18t servo saver. It won't necessarily kill the servo. I run a lot of high torque servos without servo savers.

Ok then i will use this servo with the metal arm till it dies then when i buy a new one i will keep an eye on it to be 15t or 17t
thnx alot for your help

If you have any friends close by with a 3d printer, you could have them print a different adapter.

Do you think it would hold up though?

I tried 3d printing at the colleage in a project before and to set down and prep the design drawings for this then print it. Thats hours of work
but i will see what i can do
thnx for all of your advices guyz really appreciate it

Apparently I didnt make my post edit fast enough.

This is what end point adjustments are for.

Yeah, if printed correctly, it would hold up like a brick poophouse.

If I had the parts in hand, I could have a suitable adapter designed in about 10 minutes, and have a prototype printed within a couple hours. It's not a difficult part to design.
