It will, provided the saver geometry and horn fitment match; verify horn size and linkage length to ensure correct throw and neutral alignment.
This unit is not specified as waterproof. Keep it dry and protected from moisture to preserve motor and electronics life.
Power the servo at neutral, mount the horn in the neutral position and confirm with a servo tester or transmitter subtrim for precise centring before final assembly.
Yes, consider hardened or lighter-weight linkages depending on whether you need extra strength or reduced inertia for faster response.
