|  Bta servo guard?
I just finished building my new to me fastback and really need to protect my servo. Just wondering what everyone else is using to protect their servo with bta setups. I haven't found much that would do good for a backwards servo.

Mine isn't a backwards servo but its VERY easily modified. I just took a piece of 5052 aluminum [bends WAY easier than 6061 and is also pretty cheap!] cut and bent it to size. Simply put all you need is something to go over the top and "back" of the servo to protect it from rock rash. A handy tip is to use a piece of cardboard to mock the design up, and then cut the metal longer than needed to compensate for bending. Mine isn't a BTA setup but its the same idea   [I pulled this one off on a CNC mill but its VERY easily done using hand tools since accuracy isn't 100% critical  ]

Aluminum angle from Lowes, cut to fit. Bent some little tabs down the side to bolt it on. I didn't have any sticky tape.   |
