J@mes 2326 Posted May 25, 2020 Not a new modification but I’ll go through what I’ve done, following the footsteps of others. Drilling a perfectly good chassis is not for everyone. I’m doing this on my CW01 Unimog, I’ll get round to doing it on my Lunchbox sometime. Photo above shows where I cut off the tabs in the middle of the kit supplied servo mounts to flip them over so the hole in the end is in the upper position. This gives better clearance when moving the servo to the side. By moving the servo to the side the splined shaft of the servo is now central. I measured marked & drilled 2 holes using a 3.2mm bit and fitted the servo, job done. Next job is to measure & get some turnbuckles. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VagabondStarJXF 350 Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks for posting up pics. I've been thinking about doing this myself but just haven't gotten around to fleshing out the idea. Definite thumbs up from me. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted May 25, 2020 I did this on my LB , you think Tamiya would have thought this through with the re-re and all , as well as the other 580 mods us guys have done to this chassis , I mean , come on T It does feel naughty chopping into a new chassis tub though doesn't it !! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schlabinski 250 Posted May 28, 2020 Just did this last night. Great tip to trim and flip the servo mount posts, that does make things line up better. Thanks for sharing! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwordenjr 1890 Posted October 28, 2021 Is it really worth it for this chassis ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
