Triangulating my upper fronts to find room in between the battery and servo will squash my esc, rx, and bec up off of the driveshaft. I suppose I could just decase it and try to fit it in any number of places it might and use the triangulated uppers...

I think it was CHUD who made a sweet berg style front link mount. Thing is awesome and if I didn't have my electronics on my driveshaft it would be the obvious solution. This is what I came up with, and it is definitely subpar. It forces my battery and servo to be higher than they need to be. Moving that front plate up and down tiny amounts makes a huge difference in how stable my truck is on a side hill. Maybe that is a nod to my poor suspension.

Good job on the front link mount! I got a few ideas also... but I find just moving the front links out (like on a D-link...) REALLY improves side-hill performance on a light weight rig... ah decisions decisions

I ordered a Exceed maxstone 10, with plans to mod it should be here monday . I will look at it and see what I come up with. I had already planned on doing a d mount once I got it since I assumed it was 3 link but found some pics of another and noticed it was 4 link.
I have an idea of what I want to do but need the rig in front of me first.

Ok sorry for the above post, I was think if there was a need that I could help to fill it. Dont mean to step on others toes. Also for the price its easier to leave to a vendor since there isnt alot of money in them with a short product run

The reason I say you would need shorter links is because there wouldn't be room for a nut in between the ears and servo, so the ears would have to extend behind the servo. You would just have to set the servo in between the ears and see how long the ears need to be.

But you will get banned for trying to promote a product here if you have not paid the webmaster for permission.

The spacing on my front links is very near to that of a D mount.

Sorry , I really dont plan to make a jump in to the rccrawler market. I will stick with hot rods,race cars and restorations. I will see what I come up with for my own

You can do whatever you want for your own use, nobody will complain about that. Just don't offer to do it for other people, especially when the designer is trying to get them to market.

If you want some specifics on making a d-mount for your MaxStone, pm me and I'll fill you in on the details when you're ready.

Ok thanks for the info


As I said I wasn't trying to step on toes. I like to fab and build stuff so was just thinking that if there was a need and I could help I would but completly understand.

I gotcha, no worries. I'm the same way. I've got lots of personal versions of other vendors parts.
