|  Alternative steering servo location
Hello... I am rebuilding my TXT truck. It is not a crawler (I have a TLT one for that)... I want to make it as light as possible... So I want to get rid of the chubby bumpers and mount the servo differently... What options are out there? I have looked at the gallery and most of what I see is sevo mounted on top of the pumpkin in the center... what about on the left or right side of the axle a bit like on a Clod? I'd like to see pictures of different setups... If you have a pict our yours around I'd like to see.... Cheers |

Check out Bender's behind the axle steering kit. I've got it on my TXT and it works great. Matt |

OK I've looked all over the place. Everybody likes them but I can't find any link for an add or something like that. They are not advertized on Bender's web page. Is he still making them?

| Here's Two
Here's BENDER's mount. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/attac...tid=1860&stc=1 Here's WRMorrison's http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/attac...tid=8278&stc=1 I made a BENDER style one because of the rear steer, but WRMorrison's is nice because it has an intergrated upper link mount.

I had a side mounted servo on mine for a while. It was a pain in the ace to build. I built the one I have on mine now from aluminum angle and it's got an integrated lower link/shock mount in it. What kind of servo are you running?

Here is what I just finished building.... Yeah a pain in the ... but I am pretty proud of myself  I made two identical plates and crafted a little plate with a ball to use as a rear steering lockout...  [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG] [/IMG] [IMG] [/IMG]

| You should be proud, that looks nice! I have my servo mounted in the same location, not near as professional looking as yours though......   |

those are pretty good idea too! Does the servo touches the tube chassis when the shocks are compressed? Isn't better to have the servo on its side? |
