|  Premade servo mount
Well the TXT is to the point where I need to mount the steering servos before I go mutch farther. I have searched the threads, seen LOTS of pictures of the great ideas you guys have come up with. Could someone share the name of a place that would have such a thing as a pre made servo mount? I have tools but not the time. The top control arms are in an awkward spot. I would almost like to move the upper arms to the top of the axle tubes/boxes, but I would loose triangulation for the axle.  |

They look good but the servo is put in the way of the upper links. The first one is a form of steering my PTI goliath had and it works very weird, one wheel turns farther than the other. I guess I'm going to have to make what I want :-( and thanks for the replies.

I had the MTPA ones, and could not think more highly of them. The servo is put in the way, but with a bend in the upper link, the problem is solved.

He said he would send me pictures and that was the last I heard from him.

I did find that thread, love the mount, but still looking for premade. I may have to move on to my tlt project and come back to this. So far disapointed in my first TXTproject. | |

When I bought my TXT, I had no tools either. So I can relate. I bought a piece of aluminum and this from Lowes: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...206&lpage=none I practiced on pieces of thin plastic a few tries, then took a good one, and traced it out on the aluminum. I borrowed a drill from a buddy's dad. I drilled the holes first, then cut the aluminum. I figured if I messed up on a hole, I'd save myself a lot of time cutting. Give it a try man. That's what this hobby is all about - building stuff. | |
