servo horn bumps chassis

hey guys can you help a dumb out?
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to cut into my chassis which makes me nervous lol

Can you put a spacer under the servo to raise it a little?

I'm guessing that's not the servo horn that came with the kit? You can get servo horns that have a pretty good standoff. Check out This Hot racing horn

I agree with @Doom! A small washer under the servo horn would work.
@Beer_Goggles_RC offered a good solution also. They do have servos with a longer shank. I guess that's what they call it.

EDIT: I just repeat what everybody says, and it makes me look really smart.

Different horn with an offset... like this one?

Servo horn offset has posed a problem for many looking to upgrade/replace stock horns. Lots of options out there for the picking. This one, although not cheap and only 25T, can be used to alter servo arm offset depending on how its put on the servo's output spline...

I wish I knew the OEM for Protek's horn...

Shop around, and study pictures. I think you'll have no problem finding a solution. Be glad the ball stud/pivot is mounted on top of the servo horn. I've spent hours searching for cheaper alternatives for certain RC platforms where the ball stud/pivot point is below the servo arm.

Also, take note on stock servo horn and its eye-to-eye measurement.

Some servo horns may/may not give options for selecting linkage mounting distance from servo's output spline. I also prefer the clamping style horns for very secure peace of mind.

drove the 1.5 hours to the hobby store and was able to find a horn with enough offset to clear the chassis. yay thanks for the advice you guys!
