| Servo Relocation
I've had a few people recommend a servo relocation to front by the bumper mount. I have the 17 wrangler crc RTR SCX10 ii. Every relocation mount I find says it only works with the two Cherokee models. I'm not seeing what would be different between them that it wouldnt fit the Wrangler. Anyone try this with the wrangler? Looking at this mount: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Axial-SCX10...:rk:5:pf:0&var |

Can’t say, but I used the bowhouse kit on my raw kit. Hang up and Drive |

That appears to be the stock servo location?

So aside from the stock battery tray there no reason the forward servo mount and associated battery tray wouldn’t work then right? It wasn’t making sense to me at all what would cause incompatibility. Edit: also I bought the largest 3s that will fit in the stock battery box so RIP me haha.

The mentioned servo relocation kit was designed for 90046 together with flat battery tray. If you do not want to use battery tray, you have to think a way to make it. I managed to get this work on my son's 90047 by filing some corners off. However, important to know this kit changes the servo arm and pull bar's geometry. You need to have very thin ball end plus bolt for fixing servo arm and pull bar together. Otherwise it hits steering limitation bar (I do not know how to name it) and lead to incomplete shock compression. I also experience other issue such as some 90 degrees servo does not give full range of steering as the servo was installed in different direction. If you can get all those work, the quality of the kit is quite good. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Last edited by lszomb; 01-19-2019 at 12:57 AM. |

Using a low profile pivot ball and sunken bolt will also help to solve the issue. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk | |

Getting my Savox 1210 tall servo to fit nicely without the servo arm hitting the frame railing, panhard mount, or panhard, is proving very difficult and this mod may be just what I need. Looking into the RC Pirates servo mount, battery tray, and front shock mounts as a potential alternative too. Still puts the servo in the same spot, but with everything being metal I can dial it in perfectly without my servo torquing the plastic mounts around.

I just happened to have ordered the servo mount and battery tray for my son's Honcho. Aside from my son's rig, I have installed the same kit on 7 other SCX10 II rigs, all with good results. https://www.ebay.com/itm/35398670232...UAAOSwLOJiR3af | |

I probably would have ordered the Pirates combo right away but the battery try is out of stock so it slowed me down a bit. | |

Edit: I’m just now realizing the everything in this build has been moved around. Would you mind explaining this setup? Last edited by SaltyDog; 04-09-2022 at 09:12 AM. | |

Here’s the standard SCX10 II kit with a tray that has been shortened about 1/2”. The cut is made even with the 3 parallel slots seen in the link in my previous post. This one has the standard single speed trans and the same parts as above. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ye3fpKPKMm9xMrTj8 Sorry for having to post links to pics, in the 14 years I’ve been on this forum I have only been able to get 1 photo to post up correctly.

Parts came today. My 8 year old son helped for the 10 minutes his attention span allowed, then I was left to complete the job. The battery tray had to be cut to clear the motor; https://photos.app.goo.gl/4QM3wCdeNda3Nyqb8 The parts in the top of the photo are spares/junk; https://photos.app.goo.gl/oX88dheTUhbLnr4t8 Tray installed; https://photos.app.goo.gl/gfVUeEBsrV9pWHKN9 Servo mount installed. I used M3x12 screws for 3 holes. The screw with the hex-driver in it is a M3x10 screw (shorter to clear one of the servo screws). If you use a 2-post bumper rather than a frame mounted bumper, you’ll likely use three M3x10 and one M3x8 screws. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KCG7DUptBCtYqXt99 Completed with bumper, servo bracket and battery tray; https://photos.app.goo.gl/7sN7ivcYxfnCguLM9 Last edited by suprachrgd82; 04-11-2022 at 10:03 PM. |
