I like the idea, You should paint the chassis blue to match

[brushlessnut]

Thanks,I was thinking about painting it blue.

Making servo mounts is fairly simple. Fist you will need right angle aluminum and sheet aluminum. Cut out a piece of sheet aluminum that is a little bit larger than the servo. Now take the right angle aluminum and cut two pieces that are as long as the aluminum you just cut. Take the sheet aluminum that you cut and place it over the diff. Now take the right angle aluminum that you cut and place it at the edge of the sheet aluminum so that the part of it that will stick up is facing away from the diff. Adjust the aluminum so it is as wide as the servo. Now drill a hole threw the pieces of aluminum that you cut and in threw the bulkhead. Screw these pieces down onto the truck. Now cut to more pieces of right angle aluminum that are as tall as the servo. Drill a hole threw the aluminum that you just cut, and be sure that it lines up with the aluminum that is sticking up. This piece will stick up. Screw this piece onto the truck. Now set the servo in the aluminum and drill two holes in it that will line up with the screw holes already on the servo. Now bolt up the servo and your done!! Hope I could help!!

Torsion Maxx Build

You can see in the pics how I mounted my steering servo's. I used mounts from ebay. They were only like $25 for both. It performed real well. Just like you, I had been seeing torsion sticks and wanted to try it out. I got rid of that one, and I'm making a new one. Have the axles all done just gotta make the plates, if I ever get to it.
