waterbok 1282 Posted September 10, 2015 Misses is out, so Tooltime. Always dissatisfied how wobbly the servo is mounted in the WT01/WR01/WR02 chassis. The new DT03 and MF01x chassis however have these nice sturdy mounts. So down to the basement and hack away at the chassis some platicard and a bit of POM. To get this to fit You have to cut away one bit and for more stability add a spacer Which would come out a bit like this This is the first prototype, should be possible to have it printed at shapeway or maybe milled from alloy. Screws for the servo With some spacers makes the height variable Fitted into the chassis Leftside Rightside If I get to it I will make a sketch with some measurements. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterbok 1282 Posted September 13, 2015 had a go on my unimat sl and milled another proto. Spend some time with librecad too forgot that librcad cant do 3D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregM 1109 Posted September 13, 2015 Good work! I tried out LibreCAD once, but since I'm used to AutoCAD at work, I had a hard time getting into it. Maybe I need to read some tutorials if I want to use LibreCAD at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterbok 1282 Posted December 2, 2015 Had these printed a couple of weeks ago at Shapeways (thanks very much to Pintopower), went into my nephews and nieces WR01 Daggers Will be visiting this weekend, so have a chance to checkup how these are holding up. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domesday 0 Posted January 15, 2016 Good day sir. Really liked what you have done. I'm also having a problem on the servo mount of my tamiya wild dagger. was thinking of doing this also. how is it so far? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterbok 1282 Posted June 30, 2016 So the mounts are still holding up in all three cars I had them fitted in, have been doing some hard testing on mixed surface with rocks and all. I had two beta buyers on shapeways so far, hope it works for them aswell. Â Â 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taffer 948 Posted August 17, 2016 So I have received one of waterbok's servo mounts! Fantastic, really solid holding up 100% in my dual hunter You can see on the last pic i have installed the original servo mounts with double-sided tape as supports (as recommended by waterbok) on the right of the supports is the 'notch' which you have to remove to install the mount (dremel and file handy here) The servo was attached with 10mm screws, the actual mount I have used 8mm screws all around To get the mount in position around the servo I had to remove the rubber bung around the servo wire where it exits the case The single screw hole mount on the other side required me to slide in a 3mm washer between the chassis and the mount to 'close' the gap before attaching the screw from the outside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvmud 812 Posted December 16, 2016 just found this by doing a search.......... I think Im going to have to pull the trigger on one of these as well just wish shipping wasn't so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterbok 1282 Posted December 16, 2016 Did you select extended delivery? saves approx 2$. I had a look what it cost if I order a batch of 5 or more but with shipment I can't make it any cheaper than Shapeways offer. (I sell at cost haven't put a margin on my models yet) have a look at other tamiya oriented design there is loads of nice stuff on shapeways maybe you can combine ordering. I very much like the 1:100 Willy M38 and 2.4 remote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterbok 1282 Posted December 16, 2016 Or I could double the price then shipment will feel cheaper 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterbok 1282 Posted April 21, 2017 Yes you have to remove the bit thats circled red in the second picture, its on the opposite side of the original servo mount points and shouldnt influence structural strenght. Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mman2005 443 Posted March 20, 2019 @waterbok do you happen to have a STL file file for this servo mount that you might be willing to share? I've just acquired a 3d printer and would like to give it a go. Not sure I'm ready to use CAD yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
