Free WK servo mount templates

[Tojo]

Harley,

Cant thank you enough. Made one up today out of checker plate. Pretty happy with the result for a first time fabricator. I even went out and bought a dremel. Will post pics after we extend the wheelbase and get it in place. Thanks again for your time and effort, it is very much appreciated.

[crawler king 17]

guys i need a blue print type thing to help me with this can any of you do it so i can trace it off the computer?

[floogldood]

Thanks Harley for the templates.

Does anyone use the clocked plate in stock chassis?

[KC H2O's]

Shoot me an e-mail mike and I will get it to you in the morning. The JIA that was hosting it let registration expire.


Hey Harley, would you mind sending me a copy of your template? I'd appreciate it much! You'll have to bring your rig with you if you stop by the Springfield/Branson area, got several guys who're getting the itch to hit the trails down here.

hey guys. I am currently in the procces of making a servo mount but I cant for the life of me figure out how to cut it properly. how do I make it look so smooth I know alot of guys are getting them lazer cut and I know it wont be that nice but I would like it to at least look decent like the one off roader has and i cant get mine to cut that well. so can someone tell me how to cut it. because I was thinking about borrowing my uncles rotozip and buying a metal bit for it and trying that but idk. cuz I tried my dremel with a side scroll bit and it worked but the bit would dig and grab alot. so im not sure. maby if i mount a metal bit in there it will work.

THANKS
Sean Scott

[heyok]

Don't make it too hard.
Time to go old school. You need a vice, hack saw and some files.

Clamp the metal in a vice and use a hack saw. Cut it close, but not all the way to the lines.

Now use a file to clean it up. If you are making it from aluminum, the filing will go relatively fast. If it is steel (ouch) it will take a lot more effort.

Take your time when you file and it will look really good!

[DARKSCOPE001]

yea thats what i was thinking (and this gives me another excuse to buy more tools "thumbsup") but yea i am making it out of allum. will the hack do the curves on the tranny or how do i do that? is all i want to know.

THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY

[DARKSCOPE001]

hey guys I have tried printing out the jowets rc template multiple times and every time it comes out wrong. so i was wondering if someone could help me out. when I print it. the template is close to being 1:1 but its not quite right. then when i go to print it it says something like 1.9 to 1 inches and Ive tried every different setting on my printer and they all either come out the same or giant. I have a dell aio 926 so idk if this helps. but I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem and what it is that I have to do to fix it

[smcurry83]

Just something I drew up so I can mount batt packs on both sides of the servo. This is just a rough draft, so it'll probably get modified. (I'm sure there are other designs like this out there)

[HndsWthtShdws]

Here is mine. Servo will be clamped down because I am sick of breaking servo ears.

[smcurry83]

I like it. Definitely different. How tight is it though? Any chance the servo could work it's way out of the clamp?

[HndsWthtShdws]

I didn't tighten the screws very tight (its only tapped 1/8" aluminum) and its in there pretty solid. I can't move it with my hands and I don't exactly have office hands. If it works its way loose I will scuff up the metal and servo with some coarse sandpaper and go from there.

[Rock_abuser]

Im a fan of Ryan62583's mount. It looks like it would be simple to make something similar.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/pbfrk4life/servomount.jpg

I like this mount the best. Has anyone made one of these or have the specs. If someone has the skill to make one I would be willing to pay for your time.

[LST022752]

I used Harleys template. It turned out good.

If it does loosen up, you could also put dubble sided tape on the top and bottom of the servo and then clamp it. I'm sure that would definitely keep it in place.

[HndsWthtShdws]

Double sided tape is a good idea; I like the idea of that little bit extra shock absorption that it would add. I was going to do it right away but the longest 4-40 screws the hardware store had were 1 inch, and they are perfectly flush with the bottom plate.

I need these as well. Could someone PM or e-mail them to me?

[Smarty]

Thanks guys I now have.

1 Question though, could someone please give me some dimensions on the bta pdf file, I think it has printed smaller, and I dont have the truck just yet, the wife is holding it for my birthday.....

And I also need some dimensions for the clocking plate, maybe the total width in mm of each would be great!!

thanks in advance guys...

Should be right.Check the template against a servo to be sure.Hope it works out for you.

[WK Joe]

I would also like to get the template for the axle mount, if someone would be so nice as to pm or email it to me.

thanks

[Slip&Slide]

Should be in your email WK Joe

[HndsWthtShdws]

If anyone else ever wants the templates, PM me your email and I will send you Harley's regular mount, Harley's BTA mount, Harley's clocked motor plate, the Jowett Customs template, and my template.

[WK Joe]

Should be in your email WK Joe

I got it, I appreciate the help.

[kwkride]

Is the template still posted anywhere that mounts the servo towards the side of the axle?

Thanks,
Jim

It worked great for me. Thanks for your posting these templates, they'll come in handy for my wk build.

[Pete from Houston]

What thickness material are y'all using for these mounts? I made a Jowett's-pattern mount using .064 aluminum sheet, but it feels flimsy.

[heyok]

I've made a couple from 1/8" stock and it is very sturdy. A little thinner than that would be fine.

[HndsWthtShdws]

1/8" aluminum here. Pretty sturdy and there's no need to go thicker.

I made my first servo mount from 1/4" steel..........good test of patience.

[cale__85]

Sorry To bother you, but I have tried clicking on the link to get the WK Servo Mount Pdf file, and it keeps taking me to some search engine sight and I can't find the template...

If your talking about links to JIA's site, it doesnt exist anymore. Not to worry, all the templates mentioned in this thread are uploaded on my skydrive: http://cid-4a947c0fd105ba34.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/WK%20Templates

Just click the big folder/world icon, click which template you want, click download, and then you can go from there. I would download the "All WK Templates" file if you don't know which mount you're looking for.

[bruzer]

what wheels are you using

[HndsWthtShdws]

Double narrowed Pede rears.

[SeanD]

grizz:

Are you sure that flimsy metal is going to hold the servo under strain - even if you put another piece on the other side?

Looks like that steering linages must have some binding in them as well - judging by the twist.

[grizz]

it should its brass from old trophys and im looking to get another thats real solid metal

[HndsWthtShdws]

Looks like if the metal doesn't bend the servo will simply pivot. I don't think two holes is a good idea for this application.

HndsWthtShdws when using your servo mount how does your top link mount work. I tried to use your servo mount but the top link mount gets in the way. template works great.

[HndsWthtShdws]

I have it set up like with reverse triangulation (this is the rear but its basically the same up front):

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s283/HandsWithoutShadows/WK%20crawler/upperlinks.jpg


Another option is to make a link mount similar to this, but spaced back further:

I have the rc4wd extended link kit. So looks like I have to custom make a mount or use another type of servo mount

i am a fan of this template it was in the classifieds by D-ran83

[RockCrawlingKid]

do u have to buy the plans from d-ran?
if not can u give me the link to them i did a light search and got zip

[grizz]

i dont know if i can find it i will show the link

[tcnw05]

whenever i click on a link to the template and click save or open on the little window that opens all i get is a bunch of letters and symbols no template.............whats up? any help would be greatly appreciated

[HndsWthtShdws]

I sent you an email with the files, let me know if it got through and if everything works.

If you get the same result I would guess its your pdf reader. Check if there are any updates for Adobe or try reinstalling it.

[jombo]

here is my servo mount, its made out of balsa wood glued together then i used fiberglass cloth and resin for strenth

[tcnw05]

ok so i bought the rc4wd extended link kit, and i was just wondering where the lower link would go to once you flipped the shock mount 90*? cause im planning on putting my servo on the axle with the rcguy mount. im stumped....lol and sorry for all the stupid newb questions and thanx for yor guys' help.

[Rob]

here is a consept for someone, it splits in half, the servo holds it together, it works real good.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg194/dirt_rider093/Crawler%20King/gvhjgk.jpg

[SWelte]

I have a question, If I rotate my shock/ link mount to clear the axle mounted servo, the shock mount is loose due to axle not being cemetriacal/ square. What is done to cure this?

[SWelte]

Tried it and answered my question.

Great collection of templates on PDF! Thanks for doing that!

Can someone please ask Jason to update his posts with the collection link? http://cid-4a947c0fd105ba34.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/WK%20Templates

It would save tons of time for people digging through 16 pages of replies... :)

Now the hard part is choosing which servo mount to use :)

I'll have to see how to modify one for the rear end, to drop the plastic linkage for the knuckles and convert it to turnbuckles like the Scorpion...

[klabeaume]

The drawling are saved at the wrong scale. It is at 1: .9 It should be 1:1 unless it is dimensioned.

[HndsWthtShdws]

The PDFs are fine for me and other people. Make sure your printer is set at 1:1 with no rescaling.

[klabeaume]

The PDFs are fine for me and other people. Make sure your printer is set at 1:1 with no rescaling.

if you look at the bottom right corner of the drawling is has "scale 1:0.9"


It's fine, I just ended up making my own. The drawling either needs to be 1:1 or have dimensions on it. I still think its cool that Harley took the time to do this, I was just bring it to everyone attention.

The drawing is 1:1 in PDF, it is a difference in how it is printed. The template has worked for HUNDREDS of people without a problem.

who has a Wheely King Servo Mount that Mount's the servo over the middle over the Axel

[shierkahn]

who has a Wheely King Servo Mount that Mount's the servo over the middle over the Axel
I think you would have to make one. You can get about any template and use the dif section of it then just draw out the rest so it mounts over the center. That's what I did back before they were available.Still using the same one just made it from thicker material than my first one. Chris

[bart]

i will try that thank you.

[Douginala]

I've made a couple of these for the guys around here and they like them. I can make you one or will be happy to share the drawings.

This is an early version. I've made some changes since then.

Inspiration was from a Mr. Jowett.

If anybody's interested I'll post up an .avi file.

[D.K.V]

do a servo directly over the diff work any better?

[Pete from Houston]

do a servo directly over the diff work any better?

I think a servo mounted to the side would allow the chassis to sit lower, and the unsprung weight might help to keep that tires down (to combat the torque twist).

[D.K.V]

so it wont hurt the performance too much?

[Reaper09]
