| Servo Mounts , Make or Buy????
Servo Mounts , Make or Buy???? I have a set of the common Integy ones but going for my second Clod (brushless racer) build .I am in Japan so these are pricey considering the shipping fee is over $20 easy. Please post some home made ones !!! Thanks !!! |

i made some with some aluminum angle and cut out a spot for the servo to fit in, i mounted it vertically on the side opposite the motor. its nice and stable and doesnt move around like on the axle braces. dont know if this helps, kinda blurry. i can get a better shot with a real camera if you want |

The reason I posted really is to get some feedback on how those vertical ones work over the horizontal ones on the axle brace ... The Integy ones rock back and forth like crazy ... are there any advantages to using the horizontal mount??? | |

Here are mine...crafted out of aluminum. They are kind of specific to the axle tubes I'm running, but maybe they will give you some ideas. |
