Shoe Goo for mounting a Servo

[properchopper]

Larry,

I've shoehorned a servo under the deck with one of these and still had access to mounting screws : http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-80094

This is a pic of it in the boat(although this is the standard-sized one). I laid the boat on its side to allow the epoxy to pool around the mounting foot area to cement it in place

Too hold my battery straps in my q-sport, I sand surface with 100 grit or lower and clean with solvent like laquer thinner.
I don't glue servos in but, I know your reasons.

That's no problem Larry. Simply take a dremel and cut an oval out at the 2 locations where an access is needed. Besides if your in process of building your boat you can always change the servo position ever so slighty to make a mount work. taking a little material away from the hatch lip won't harm anything. I have done that several times. Take a look a the picture I have attached.

I still can't comprehend how gluing servo is a better solution. Of course, vibration isn't such a big deal in FE compared to Nitro. It must be my OCD. LOL

Hello Mike

Now that will work.
I do like the ides of a mount instead of glue. I just did not think it would work in this setup seeing that it will be located that far up under the lip.

I like this simple solution

Any mount that uses the regular servo screw location, will not work in this situation.
They would be almost impossible to get to the screw heads after it is in there.
This is all the way up under the side lip of a DF 29 1/2" mono.

So far I like Mike's idea from post three.
Although it will have to be short on the front part of the retainer that holds the servo where the regular screws go, because there is limited room to lift the servo out under the lip.

I have not seen a mount for a 225 MG.

I use this method too sometimes. I thread the mounting holes for 3mm cap screws that start with fuel tubing and tighten lightly with L shaped Allen keys and the lowest strength purple loctite. No access problems even in a df23. Use at least .0625" or thicker aluminum.
