Doesn't seem right?

[Timmy]

So i'm looking at this boat,about to put things together and I realise that the pre cut servo mount only holds a micro servo, for a boat of this size (660mm) that just doesn't seem right. Now I have plenty of micro servo's but I had planned to use the kick ass standard servo I have sitting next to it. What do you think is more appropriate?? Is it good enough to cable tie the big one down or should I buy alloy mounts?

Depends on the servo, I run a JAE .12 nitro rigger with a Hitec HS-85mg servo, no issues what so ever, it's a fast boat! Crashed many times, hit turn markers etc, still the original servo from 3 years ago.

Is that a 9g servo? I've got lots of different types of them. I am using one in a ridiculously fast sea rider. doesn't seem right on this one though. Look how small it is in the boat! How big is the rigger?

Offshore electrics have some cool servo mounts.....

I just encountered a situation not unlike yours on a customer build [Mini Sniper]. The customer sent me a servo and mount. I then discovered that there's a size difference between a Mini Servo and Micro Servo.. I was sent a Micro Servo (which spec-wise was quite strong enough) but the mount was for a Mini Servo.

I searched and searched for a Micro Servo mount but not finding any finally modded the Mini Servo mount. Took a bit of fiddling !

I am in the process of trying to put a steerable outdrive on a 21" rigger. At the moment its got a full size servo in it, but I think its going to get changed to a mini servo to make a more workable space. I guess it depends how functional it is & what your comfortable with .

Problem solved! Rc boat Bitz in my hometown have the perfect alloy mount for the high torque standard size servo I want to use and they are very reasonably priced. It will be delivers by tomorrow!
