Default Servo mount brace

I have noticed that the axle braces where my servo mounts attatch to seems to rotate a little from the torque.

Has anyone made some type of brace for it??

That works.....I run something very similar....just a little leg that runs down to one of the axle tube screws.

Contact thecrawlerstore.com and get some of the shock mounts for the stick. They tie to the servo mount then to the axle and will fix the problem

I use a 25mm screw running through the plate with a nut on the bottom side of the plate to sandwich it. That connects to a Traxxas rod end on a 25mm long axle tube screw. Sorry I dont have a close up pic right now.

Default servo brace

just solved that problem on mine tonight. I used 1"x1/8" aluminum angle cut to fit. one side bolted to upper link mounts, the other to the servo mount I'd send pics but I don't have a digital camera yet

Thanks for the ideas.
I ended up take a old maxx steering link cut it, then bent it and welded it to the axle brace. No more flex
