	18	+The spline allows the driven horn to be connected to the output shaft so that it rotates with the shaft. The spline selected is used by other servo manufacturers and as such there are a variety of accessories / horns which are compatible and can be installed on the servo. Alternatives to using the Lynxmotion driving horn include a wheel, a pulley or sprocket, a tubing connector, specific RC horns and more. Note that there are many different spline cross sections, and in order to ensure the a horn can fit onto the output shaft of the servo, it must have the matching / identical spline.
