YEah, what did you guys use to remount your servo? zip ties or did you fab some brackets out of alm?

[briankstan]

it's fabricated out of aluminum angle.   the servo is mounted to it using shoe goo.  it works really well.  I'll find a pic and post it for you.

you can kinda see it in this picture

[Nic-z]

nice where can I get the alm? and did you use the oem tie rods?

[Nic-z]

oh and link those red servo savers you guys have pls

[briankstan]

Luke would have to fill you on what was use.  Russ would also have a better understanding as he just did his.

I just purchased the servo savers from West Valley Hobbies.

I have some of the aluminum angle I used if you would like some, you can come over and get it. I beleive I got it at Home Depot and its 1/2 x 1/2 inch. As for what I did just have a look at my Mini Monster gallery. The servo saver is a Kimbrough 131. Its the only red one so should be easy to find. I used a Hitec HS-81MG that I bought at WVH. Also pick up some 3mm 4/40 threaded rod, some ball ends, and 3mm nuts. I used some old Traxxas ball ends I had laying around. Its pretty easy to do if you have a vise, hack saw, dremel, drill and bits, and other various tools. If you need some help I would be happy to.

okay I have some servos I will post some pics later let me know what they are, if they'll work and yeah I would dig some of that alm stuff if you got it.

[Nic-z]

Okay so I have some pictures posted in my gallery. finally. Not everything is there but soon I'll have everything up. I will have to look at yours Russ and see what exactly is involved I don't know much about the venom to just go off what I know so far.

[Nic-z]

Russ, saw the pics on your mini giant, I understand now what you mean, I forgot to post the servos I had, but will this work for the tie rods? maybe you can just buy everything I need and I'll buy your kennon order and we'll see what the diff is.

I dont know if that thing will work for sure. I think its for the TGR Sinister pan car. You might be able to adapt it but without specs of how long it is and what not I would probably suggest doing it the easy way. All of the items you need are available at West Valley Hobbies in Taylorsville off 54th and Redwood. If you have a small servo that will work thats fine but if not the HS-81MG works great. If you need some help making it I can help. As for the Kenon order I'm trying to wait til I hopefully get my F1 so I can see what I need for that.

[Nic-z]
