Hi, I am currently installing the rear servo on my Mini Titan E325 and have run into a problem........The Ball Link and Screw are too small for a standard size servo wheel.....Futaba 9257. I know that I have read that someone used a standard size ball link, but it is too big for the control rod. Any suggestions how you guys have gotten around this problem would be great. Thanks in advance.

If you can find Align ball and link, it should fit the orignal MT E325 rudder linkage rod . Align ball link use 2mm screw, so it can fit the servo horn of S9257 . If you do not have Align ball link . You may screw a 1.5mm hole on the round disc come with the servo . Another way is to upgrade the rudder linkage rod to Align carbon linkage rod . It has a bended "Z" at one ends so no more screw is required . The carbon is better as it will not bend so much under torque and it will slightly improve the rudder response .

Is it the ball link from a 450?

I use the Align ball and link for the tail servo rod.

When you say rear servo do you mean rudder or elevator?

I believe that it is rudder servo as he mentioned Futaba S9257.

yes, Align Trex 450 ball link is a little bit bigger than MT, and some people reported that Align ball link is more secure and do not come out easily .

As others have said you can swap to Align balls/links but you can also swap out your servo wheel for horn with smaller holes. That's what I did.

I would turn the wheel to get a solid part of plastic at 90º and simply drill a extra hole in the servo wheel.
The TT balls work very good imho.
