Default Servo/links mounting option on TLT

Hi guys

Working on a project TLT... I need some inspiration to make a servo mounting plate on the axle that would also allow me to attach the links.... If you guys have pictures of you setup I'd like to see them... Thanks!

Cool setup... How the hell did you mount the U shaped axle stay of the servo on the left side axle?

if you use a mount like this, you eliminate mounting the servo to those plastic bosses on top of the axle cases that end up breaking anyways. also used for the upper link mount as well. credit goes to etype for the idea.

TLT finished! Half aluminum tube High gc Low cg FINISHED
I did my top link mounts behind the servo so the links wouldn't have to be so high.

Wow. Some very neat ideas here... I like the behind the serco link.... is that stretching the truck too much for a 1/10 scale?

it all depends on the link length. My top links are probably an inch or so shorter than the other guys. My wheelbase is still 12.5" like most everyone. Just make sure your links are the right length!
