Hobby Lobby Hunter/Tornado electronics & steering mounts

thingiverse

I've printed everything out and it all fits pretty darn well. I won't know for sure until I fit the engine and exhaust, though. The front bell cranks may also get adjusted if I run into clearance issues with a center driveshaft pillow block on a 4x4 model. Rearranging the radio gear and steering setup is crucial for a Hobby Lobby Hunter. Using stock mounting holes is a must (at least the holes that were on my test chassis, your mileage may vary). The radio box is sized to fit a Tower Hobbies 224 receiver and a 6V receiver battery hump pack, specifically the 5AA NiMH variety in a 2x3 shape. In the picture I'm using a 6AA holder, but I'll be shortening one of the battery spaces. The radio box lid is held in place with a rubber band. Some wire management for the steering servo still needs to be added. A simple tie-down like device will probably do the trick. The servo saver I plan to use is incorporated into the servo arm horn, specifically a Kimbrough large servo saver. To-do list: various 3mm bolts and nylocks of different sizes are needed. Six 3mm ID x 3.5mm OD x 5mm long brass tubes will be used as bushings for steering arms and drag links.
