spannermonkey Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 How did you find the servo mount? I'm using the 2nd steer set up from KK truck store along with there longer rails and I'm a bit disappointed by the accuracy and finish of the parts.

Finding works ok but had to use normal servo arm for gearbox servo as using supplied servo saver from tamiya it rides far to low under the chassis and had to bend the arm a little bit and nothing is mentioned about this on the webpage or instructions, had to drill holes to mount it the was instructions for measuring but I did it by mk1 eyeball and a centre punch but the frame was correct dimensions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Darren Sherriff Posted March 28, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) OK update can't stop fiddling no clubs back open so can drive I may stop customising I think there are only 5 parts original tamiya left. First designed and printed wheel nut markers Then I changed rear suspension for the LESU setup looks nice yet to see if it makes a difference Then I got some 8mm stainless steel tube and made my own stacks And finally got a new load for the trailer as the D11 I had on it was not RC so seemed a bit pointless having working rear ramps and I think that load didn't look right scale weight wise for my trailer Edited March 28, 2021 by Darren Sherriff 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
