7980 servo guard, who has them?

[motorman]

I'm looking for a servo guard for my Hitec 7980, does anyone sell them?

Not sure if Nova's Ark has them specific to that servo, but I'm sure he'd be willing to whip one up for you

How are you looking to cover it? like this?

not sure if that would fit a XR10 axle, but yeah something like that.

edit: Whats that, 2 pieces?

It's a single piece of aluminum angle that I notched to fit my axle tube. I just drilled the top portion a bunch. It's super beefy.
It's not only my servo guard, it's the main mount. The lower 3 holes you see attatch the mount to the front of the axle tube. (small spacer between the two.) It's also been trimmed up now that it's a final piece.

Once you get the servo to fit through, make sure you keep as close to the covering surface as you can before you drill the mounting holes. It'll help act as a heat sink. Do work driver.
