Tamiya DF02 Servo Mounts

thingiverse

Servo mount(s) for the Tamiya DF02 series vehicles (Gravel Hound, Plasma Edge, Aero Avante, Rising Storm, etc.). This removes the ESC/receiver tray and uses a more traditional method to attach the servo to the chassis. The standard mount works just fine, but it incorporates a third post to support the tray/servo mount. This cuts down the space behind the servo and presents some challenges for ESC space claims in the chassis. My body always was quite a tight fit with a brushed ESC in place; so this improves that and gives me enough space to mount a smaller brushless ESC. I mounted my receiver directly on top of my servo. If you have a higher end servo or you are pushing heavier tires, this may not be the best position. I may remix this at some point to incorporate a tray for receivers/caps. These are so simple, that I could have probably used any one of the other servo mounts that I've posted but I wanted to make sure this matched the original geometry. Tap the mounting holes with a M3 tap and use M3 mounting hardware (M3X8 for the servo, M3X10 for the posts to the chassis).
