hey i have been building a new txt for crawling ( did the 10 best things for 20.00 ) but had some ? is some one making the servo mounts or are you guys just making those on your own? And when you measure wheel base where are you measuring from / to

First off welcome. As far as servo plates people here makes there own, some purchase from other members and so on. do a search on servo plate and you'll sure to find alot of ideas on making your own if you go that route. but if your like me and don't mind paying for some plates then (IMO) Bender makes some awesome plates.

Have a go at makin the servo plates yourself, they're not hard to do!

All you need is the material, a rule, scribe (pencil will probably do),hacksaw, file, sand paper and a drill. Took me about 20 minutes to make one.

gumby240 · 09-03-2005, 07:42 AM

what are you attaching them to ?

FrankyRizzo · 09-03-2005, 07:56 AM

Drop a line to AZVader. He made mine on my TXT. Does awesome work.

gumby240 · 09-03-2005, 08:07 AM

Click the "Photo Gallery" link in my signature, there's some pics of my BTA servo mount as well as some pics of the "standard" servo plates.

EDIT: Mr. Rizzo beat me to it.

Ditch them for sure, you're rig will be soooo much more stable.

gumby240 · 09-03-2005, 09:40 AM

Hey thanks more work to do !! Good thing i like modifing stuff . Also what wheels fit on these anything with a 14 mm hex ? I like the new 2.2 moabs.

Frkan · 09-03-2005, 10:22 AM

maxx sized wheels and tires fit on a 14 mm hex. The 2.2 moabs are way too small for a txt, you would want the 40 series ones.

Don · 09-03-2005, 06:48 PM

Welcome.

Here is some help on the servo mounts. (pic)

If you go with the 40 series tires you should check out the comando bead locks at tower. Here is a link.

For the comandos to fit you need a 32mm hex. bender sells some realy nice ones for a good price.

gumby240 · 09-04-2005, 03:16 PM

Hey when you guys are 86 ing the cantilevers what shocks are you running?

Kev808 · 09-05-2005, 01:33 PM

I'm using T-maxx Big bore shocks, with stiffer springs, 70w & up shock oil.

sean_lv_crawler · 09-05-2005, 07:26 PM

FrankyRizzo and myself are running the T-Maxx Titanium Nitride shaft shocks. They are the slickest things around, and are definately very strong. I highly recomend them.
