DIY Direct Steering Upper Deck for Tamiya XV02 Pro

[turbofan]

wasn't convinced with the steering arrangement of the XV02, too many parts and somewhat delicate, so a 3d printed an upper deck to relocate the servo in the center

after some  protype iterations, it now fits perfect and works smooth

Nice and clean prototype! I do not want to ruin the fun you are having, but you are aware of this?

Judging by the custom shock tower you might be or this is also a creation of yours?

yes of course, embiracing makes great carbon parts, in case ones prefers a carbon upper deck his proposal it's the way to go, I wanted to offer a more simple way to have direct steering (attach points) that can be easily done and reverted back (without having to open the diff case and remove the alu parts) while being also more affordable (here is mine https://www.ebay.de/itm/326045419639)

Oh, I did not even realise how exactly the EmbieRacing solution is mounted before you pointed it out. As I do not have an XV-02 (just an XV-01) I never looked into the details. Nice alternative you came up with.
