Axle plate that fits full size servo and battery?

[Wild Snapper]

Anyone know who makes a front axle plate that fits a full size servo and lipo battery. I have looked and can only find plates that fit stock size servos. Thanks

The biggest problem you are gonna face is the space issue. When you upgrade to a full size servo you loose all the extra space. I know for a fact that RCBros.com has a full size servo mount I just installed mine tonight with a Hitec 645MG. But with it in place there is no room for the lipo. Unless I put it on top of the servo.

Is the servo mounted to the side or centered on the RcBro plate?

I made my own from Plexiglas. I put a small washer on the axle to space the wheels out a little and get a slight touch on the lipo. I will get round to fixing this soon, just need to make the Lipo sit a little further forward.

Thats what I'm talking about I was planning to just make something but wanted to check and see If I could buy one in aluminum for strength. Plexyglass I can do, aluminum is more work. I'm also running the axle wideners so room is less of a concern. Thanks UKBulldog.

It is centered on the axle. I even use the stock steering links and they work fine. If you look at the MRC they built on RCClive you can see how it sits. Here is a link.

Go down a few posts and you will see the one that has the plate on it.

Its cool man, a plate with the servo mounting in the middle is not going to work with a battery next to it. I'm looking to put a small lipo next to a full size servo on the front axle plate. (Like what ukbulldog posted) Thank you for the info and suggestion I appreciate you post. Thanks

No prob, good luck with it. I used a dremil to cut the plexiglas. post some pics when your done.

Yeah that is a good Idea that UK put up. Please post some pics when done I might want to do this also. Does seem like the best choice for lipo servo setup.
