| 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?? |

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. Last edited by Grizzly4x4; 11-14-2006 at 11:59 AM. |

| 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 |

Grizzly4x4, do you have a buildup for the wildoats jeep or some more pics? That is awesome looking I remember seeing that jeep way back in the day in a few magazines, it always caught my eye |
