TRX-4 forward servo mount

thingiverse

Front servo mount for the Traxxas TRX4 (-kit or any other with inner fenders). It replaces the original front battery support (8223) and the original servo mount (8239), so it is meant to be for steering only, not for servo winches. Good reasons for reloacating the servo are: - more forward weight, - prevent collision of servo horn to panhard rod at full droop, - create more space for bigger or forward mounted motors, - create space for front longitudinal mounted battery pack. This servo mount was designed for either the original Traxxas servo (2075X), or slightly lager ones like the Power HD LW25MG in particular. As I use the Traxxas metal servo horn (8247X), the servo sits as low as possible. That said, the use of other servo horns would require the servo to sit higher, so it does not collide with the lower steering rod. So if you don't use either the original or the metal servo horn from Traxxas, choose the "+3mm_higher"-file. In case you choosed to flip the front bumper support (8237) to suit an individual body or just to increase the bumper ground clearance, the front servo mount will fit as well. If you need to replace the hole original servo mount, choose "_long"-files. That way both fender fixation points, front and rear to the chassis frame may be used. Please note that both higher and longer variants have not been tested. There are 2 additional fixation points behind the servo location, for anything to be mounted there, e.g. battery tray, winch controller, ... Hope you like it! Best regards from Bernd's Custom 3D's.
