HPI Savage-X camera mount

thingiverse

I purchased an affordable spy-pen camera for mounting on my HPI Savage-X monster truck, capturing action footage as I play with it. Finding suitable space for attachment, the front bumper's bull-bar seemed ideal, and the bumper mount allows adjustment of pen cam angle. The upper half of the pen, housing the camera, is mounted while leaving the lower half behind. To install, remove the upper bumper/bull-bar, detach dummy spotlights, and insert the "HPI bumper mount" in their place using M3 bolts and nuts. Position the "pen socket" over the bull-bar's upper part with a M3 x 16mm bolt and nut. Inside the front of the pen socket are recesses for two more M3 nuts, attaching it to the bull-bar via two more M3 x 16mm bolts, which may require washers to avoid interference with the pen's body. Secure the pen cam with a final M3 bolt and nut at the top, adjust angle, and tighten all fastenings for a steady recording experience.
