I went to mount my servo winch and in looking for a place I had a thought. So I fliped the cross brace/servo mount and the servo mount I have been wondering about popped out.



To mount the bumper the servo screw was in the way, I figured I could get away with 3 mount points.



I had a cheap servo and put one of Warpigs spools on it.



Here it is mounted clears everything. Now I'm going to redo my bumper just a little.

Very slick Rick Whats the power on that servo? Enough to use once?

I don't know , it 's a low grade futaba. I get another later, maybe.

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

I redid my bumper a little, John didn't like it.
I like it alot more, just came back from a new little place I found when taking the grandsons for a walk. Great for scalers. And the bumper worked better for me.

[ScaleFreak93]

That definitely looks a hell of alot better Rick. How much weight did you take off compared to the old bumper? Any noticeably? Much better approach angle too.

Lookin good ricky...BTW if you need one, i might have an old MG servo that you could use as a winch if you want it. hahaha

Why didn't you tell me it was ugly. It didn't lose much weight.

I'd like to get one of those. I'd mount it in the passenger seat.

looks good, love the servo winch idea and your bumper. May have to steal part of that design for my Hilux =)
