Default Where to mount a servo winch?

I've tried to search for this with no clear results. I'm looking to run a converted servo which, but don't know where to mount it. I run the battery up front, a MMP and the VP CMS kit. Please post pics if anyone has them.

Here`s my servo winch mounted...



fit is tight but it`s there

with BRXL and 4S 2200 battery



I have my steering servo on the axle, and I think this winch location wount work with commercial CMS-kits. I actually spend quite a while with turning the car on the table trying to figure out how I could make CMS for mine, but after several cups of coffee and lot of time I got a headache and left it be.. (for now)

you may be able to mount the servo winch in the back of the wraith, and use an antennae tube to route the winch lineup to the front of the wraith.

I did this: My servo winch mount (detailed pics)

I realize some of the pictures of the "how to" are not in there but you get the idea. Also CKRC sells the same thing I made for not too much money.

I like it! I'll pull mine apart and see what I can come up with.

I started with a cardboard template then spent an hour cutting out the thick aluminum plate lol. Totally worth it though. Everything fits together nicely and it ties in things from left and right on the vehicle.

The seekayarrrrrsee style plate is one of the best/easiest ways to mount a winch and be able to keep the vp cms. I keep cereal boxes around for the template purposes
