I don't think you need to glue it, just use a sharpie and trace it. Or you can tape it on and use a spray can to mark it. I like using the spray can so you can see exactly what you need to get rid of. You'll do better the second time. It always gets better. |

3 Attachment(s) "thumbsup" Sweet design! I'm pretty new to crawling and its nice to see the different ideas that everyone has, speaking of which, I went a little different route then you guys, i hope the pics explain what I did, try to keep in mind that the plate was made with a dremel, 2 lb sledge, and a block of wood. but it seems pretty sturdy and works decently enough. |
my final product did a little mods to it8) http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3...6/CIMG0774.jpg |
DAAAMMNN! THat looks great man, looks like you hit up the polishing wheel too. Cutting that 4th hole off will have probably have very little effect on it, but removing the mount on the opposite side add some flex. Although you did make yours out of some thick chit. Great job, you make it look easy. Josh |
thanks, yeah the polishing wheel grabed it out of my hand and threw it across the shop so it has some little dings on it:-( but no biggie and i got 6 more if it dont work |
I have a couple pieces of aluminum, one 1/8" piece and a 3/64". What would be the best to use for the servo mount? I plan on cutting it out using a dremel with a cutoff wheel. Any other ideas to cut it out that doesn't involve a machine shop? http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...9/100_2315.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...9/100_2311.jpg |
i went with 1/8 any thiner than that i think is kinda pushing it |
Thanks, i'll go with the 1/8" Hope the dremel can handle it... |
it will, if i didn't work where i do i would have to use one, but i still use one:shock: |
Ok, Here we go, just finished it a couple minutes age, it took about 2 hours, but was worth it. It seems like it turned out ok. That servo mount template is great! "thumbsup" Here are the pics, I'm just doing a mock up till i get the screws i need and also the steering linkage. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...9/100_2317.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...9/100_2320.jpg http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...9/100_2321.jpg |
that looks really good, good job"thumbsup" |
Looks like you did a fantastic job. Thanks for the complements on the template. I am actually happy with how many people have asked for it, makes it feel like I didn't waste my time. Mine didn't end up getting cut the other day, but I was told maybe monday. I'm not complaining becuase they are free. |
I cut another one and yes the new template works great"thumbsup""thumbsup" I will post pics soon. Also found a great place for the battery mount."thumbsup" |

Clark, thanks for starting this thread too. It has actually helped me with quite a few things. Thanks again to everyone for the interest and the input for this servo mount. Now everyone that used it please send me $10 ahahahah total joke. Some of you guys really made some great looking pieces. I have also seen a couple modified versions of it as well which looked great. ^^^^^Sounds like a friggin Grammy speach Peace out Josh |
Sticky worthy? |
I think it should be. It's a great thread and a great template. |
