Default A spare parts and boredom build

Got bored at work today, long runs on a mill, so I built this.

the aluminun dosent twist so I guess its not a torsion. The bolt has an o-ring on both sides of it so the axles just twist which deflects the o-rings, they push back and it stays strait.

Just get rid of all the gears and motor, shave the top of the axle smooth and the gear box to, just measure the space you have to work with and cut it out, bend it over and drill some holes.

Ok, what do I need to shave smooth now? this is what I shaved and I dont think the servo mount will work on this..

Here is a really simple servo mount it just screws to the front of the shock mount.

I was gonna say, I bet PCB (printed circuit board) material would be strong enough and light enough and easy enough to work with to use to make a good servo mount.
