spacers for low cg servo/battery plate

[NeXt559]

can anyone tell me that size spacers and screws i need for the axial low cg battery/ servo plate? from the pix ive seen there looks like there is a total of 5 spacers and 2 "non stock" counter sunk screws

I'm looking at mine that showed up at work today and it comes with all that stuff. But the spacers (one link and one spacer for each side) that go between the plate and axle are 10mm and 4mm = 14mm total. Screws are 25mm top to bottom.

Edit: The 5th spacer/link is 20mm to shorten the steering linkage.

well im planning to make one myself and i really dont want shell out the 30 dollars.
extemly overpriced in my opinion. i can make my set for under a dollar twenty five. plus i have some building material here at home collecting dust.

and the shorter steering link, that's just plain bad steering geometry

You need three type of spacers.

- 2x 4mm Spacer
- 2x 15mm Threaded Post
- 1x 20mm Threaded Post
- 2x M3x25mm Countersunk Screws

Or

- 2x 19mm Threaded Post
- 1x 20mm Threaded Post
- 2x M3x25mm Countersunk Screws

I bought the Carbon plate from 3Racing. That one is 1/3 the price of the Axial one.

Built mine as an overlay for my 4 link servo plate. Used scrap 1/8" thick lexan and 5/16" delrin rod for spacers and steering link. Similar total cost of about $1....and it is custom set to fit over the 4 link plate and hold my LIPO and Servo. The pre-made solutions are kinda pricey at $15-$30.

yeah im using some lexan plates to build mine also
i made a lexan 4 link plate for the rear , and thought the front would look alot better matching the rear

i also installed fly lites on my rig so when i have them on the lexan will glow green. definatly kicks the bling factor up a notch
