Servo mounting

[ozzie-crawl]

not really just stick the mount down,i use 5min epoxy,let it dry mix up some resin brush some over the area you want to cover with the cloth,lay the cloth down and put a bit more resin on top with the brush,just make sure the resin soaks threw but dont flood it you wont need much

Doesn't hold up. Been there, done that. Steven's plastic mount looks GREAT to me! epoxy a piece of plywood to the hull and screw the mount to that.

Maybe some double sided tape?

Cool! Put it on your front page in the "NEW" section! I'll be watching for it!

I also have some new metal servo mounts I will be listing this week.

Steven's plastic mount; clean area thoroughly; " Shoe Goo" will hold it semi-permanently-won't ever break loose from servo torque, but can be twisted off with a strong wrist if need be. Looking forward to the new mount, BTW.

Thanks ozzie

One last question, you have the 25" df copy correct? How strong is that hull? Should i lay a peice of fiberglass mat down in the hull before epoxy/glass the mount in there?

[ozzie-crawl]

the hull it self is rather strong,only problem i have had is the hatch cracking
but it was from a big crash.if yours has the wood motor mount add some extra epoxy to it

[M.M.]

Well it had the old wood mount in it but i cracked so i made the new alluminum one for it. The only reason why i was thinking about renforcing the spot where the servo mounts to the hull was because when i was grinding out the old epoxy i may have gone a little deep and into the fiberglass bottom of the hull.

Resin is drying now

I have been using the 3M double sided tape without any problems. You first have to clean the surface with alcohol and then put the tape on.

Sorry to hijack here, but I just recently got a hull with the servo epoxied down to the fiberglass hull. How in the world do I remove it?

Flat blade screw driver and some patients.

[sailr]

What is the prognosis for the patients? ;-)

[M.M.]

Well my mount is all glassed in

Now to mount up the servo and attach the linkage tomorrow.

Please post pics MM!

I have a Hitec HS77B low profile servo that needs to be mounted upright. Any suggestions from you guys?

[z400]

Scuff the bottom and mount it directly to the hull.

Or, buy a set of servo mounts from a r/c truck or car and use them.
I used a set from a Traxxas T-maxx that were for the throttle/brake servo.
Trimmed a bit off the end of the legs on the mounts, turned out perfectly.
