I have recently completed building a new TXT-1 , and have been planning on making it a rock crawler , without having to cut the truck to pieces.I have recently started to cut the stock tires , nothing fancy , just cutting the treads to allow more flexibility , but that is the extent of any mods.
Anyone have any further suggestions , remember , I am just a weekend warrior , not looking to get really hardcore until I get into it more.

lock the diffs, and mount the servo on the axle(get rid of the shitty bumper thingies...).

Anyone sell a kit to remount the servo , or do I have to get creative?

[jordanator62]

just get creative, its really easy to make one, and doesnt take much time. just look how other people have mounted theirs, and copy it

just be sure to use something hard, ive made my mount of 1mm thick steel ( off CD-rom case) and 645 riped it, so now i have to think better about it, and i just start to plan a good servo mount, hopefully ill think off something, good luck and have fun

Check with Toyofast of http://rcrockgear.com and ask him about the Mighty Mounts for a TXT.

You will find some pictures of them in this thread about servo mounts:

i went to home depot and bought a 4' section of aluminum angle rodding about 2" by 2" by 48". it was like 6 bucks... did some measureing and made a bracket that mounts ontop of the stock brackets for the suspension and then comes forward and then up. I used the stock "blocks" to mount the servo to the mount... i'll try to have pics tomarrow, i might even do a write up sic=nce its for duals... but easily made for singles.
