Default Bent front battery and servo plate?

I see a lot of guys running bent servo plates up front to lower the center of gravity. At least I believe that's there reasoning.

Does anyone know of any vendors working on a plate like this? I hate to admit it, but I need a bolt on piece. I don't have the tools to fab up a piece. If I had a drill press and a bandsaw that would be one thing.

Unfortunately my cordless drill and hacksaw won't give me the finished look I appreciate from our vendors and don't mind paying for.

I bent mine becasue my lipo battery is too thick and it rubbs with the body so I bent it to allow for more articulation. the servo side of it is already low enough.

thats no excuse :-P
theres nothing that a metal file and some sandpaper cant fix.

but if your looking for a prefinished setup. just get the axial battery plate and bend it in a vice yourself. cant be that hard.
if you dont have a vice, take a 2x4 and cut a slot in it and use that as leverage to bend the plate
