I saw it in a picture somewhere on here where someone had a custom crawler with force axles on it and it had a custom front servo mount. I need to get one and was wondering who had it. Any ideas?
Thanks

This is how I did mine. I got the idea from a couple of different guys on this forum.

hmm, not sure how i am going to do it yet. I made custom adjustable link and shock mounts so i need to work around that. They are kinda chunky but they are also prototypes:

Well this is pretty much what the end result is, but I have receiver packs on each axle. If you look closley there is a slit under the top plate that I put zip ties through to secure the battery packs. (I put foam around the screw heads to protect the packs)

These are the servo mounts that came with the truck I bought. They are made by New Era. Im not using them because Im runing 1/4 scale servos.

I don't really concider them custom,more like bootie fab :lol: Sorry I don't have any closer pics but I think you can get a grasp on the idea with these pics. I just used the factory Twin/Mad Force 2 link arms. Only 2 needed so if you have the kit you would essentially have enough to mount a servo on both axles for 4WS. All you do is cut the arm down to place the servo as high or low as you want it. I like this method cuz you can essentially place the servo anywhere on the axle,or even role it foward or backwards if needed. When you get the desired location drill two small holes in each one and screw in a screw in each to hold it in place firmly. A guy could CA glue them but I like the option of moving them if I need to.
Heres a couple pics:
