thingiverse

Did your steering servo die on your Redcat Lowrider? Do you have any spare servo's laying around? If you answer yes, this will be perfect for your Redcat Lowrider!WHAT YOU WILL NEED:2.0MM Hex Drive (Allen key will work, too.)Extra screws that will fit your car. Possibly, a small drill bit and power drill. (2.5-3mm)MONTE CARLO ONLY: 4.5mm socketNOTE- the micro-servo mount will fit both redcat lowriders- the Monte Carlo and the Sixtyfour/Fiftynine chassis. However, the regular sized servo mount will only work for the Monte Carlo. Also, the Monte Carlo's battery must be moved to the back of the car. If any screws do not fit, take the drill and drill it out clearer. Steps for the Micro-ServoPrint the micro-servo mount, the file is called, "microservomount.stl."Take the 2mm hex tool and remove the servo horn, then the servo itself. There will be five screws total afterwards. Unplug the servo and put it aside.Take your micro-servo and install it in the mount before installing it all on the car. You will need two extra screws for this. Install the micro-servo/mount on the car using the four screws to hold in the original servo.Check endpoints before installing servo horn.After 5 is complete, install the servo horn. The wheels should be as straight as possible.You're done!

This includes arm.stl, servohorn.stl, and regularmount.stl.Remove the stock servo. Take all the screws out and remove the horn. Unplug the servo and set aside. This uses a 2.0mm hex drive. Take the arm and horn off of the steering system and remove the ball joint from the horn. Remove the right-side battery tray. This will expose the wires.
