| This is the next big thing in crawling hands down. VP is the best. Even did my order Old School and, yes Steve the install went smoth. Even fit right in my SWX. I must say thou MIP drive shafts wont fit under the servo, So I was wondering if we are going to see VP StainLess drives that will fit?  Here are some pic's of my set up.    This is what the MIP looks like on it.  Top Notch Work Guys & girl. |

could you loosen up the servo plate screw holes that mount to the dig a bit and lift the servo plate a bit to clear the mips then tighten the screws ? could even try slotting one of the screw holes a tiny bit. Quote:

And for VP, if you make a 225 sized mount, it can be lowered about 1/8" from the stock one. I'm sure you'll see when you design it. Last edited by gunnar; 07-28-2009 at 10:22 AM. | |

In this pick the angle that the shaft pionts down is all it will come up. It looks like the whole mount/servo would need to be moved up. Thanks, Allen Repass | |

When I put mine together, yes at first it did hit, but after I loosened it up, I lifted the back of the mount as I tightened it, and it gave me the room, but it was VERY close, I'd say a hundredth of an inch clearance. If yours still hits after doing that, then you could take a small file or dremel and make the bottom of the rear mount hole lower by just a small amount, that should give you enough clearance.

Well, the 225MG is only 67 in/oz at 6 volts, and is working the dig fine. I think it will work with even less torque, so you could probably use whatever you got on hand.

I'm also thinking you may just find it easier to make up an alloy extension that will bring the servo up from the dig a bit further, a flat bit of alloy plate should do it. Last edited by Toy80; 07-29-2009 at 04:45 PM. | |

VP, I'm sure you've already figured this out but when you make the mini servo mount if you use the top right hole it will give clearance for a Cobalt motor. (see pics)   |

Also forgot to mention that with a HS-225MG mounted like that you can bolt a full Maxx shaft up with no clearance issues.
