little ESC-position-mod on an X10

[Lowie]

I did some little modifications on my pred in order to get all my electrics into the chassis without space-issues.

I wrote a little building-article on the-pred.co.uk but here are some pics allready.








for more info, see the linked article on the-pred.co.uk

looks good lowie but will the shell still fit ok

[Lowie]

yup, it does

I'll take and post a picture later this evening

[darryl]

look forward to seeing it

u dont need to build a full platform like that u can just build it on to the servo which is what i have done with my gtb in my x11 i have used a x10 shell as it is slightly diffrent not sure the x11 shell will fit

looks like a real sturdy platform for your esc , i'm sure zedman did something similar

[mattym0310]

no he just bent a peice of metal into a Z shape and glued or velcro'd it to the chassis next to the servo so the esc sits on top of the servo. if that makes sense?

[rcracer]

oh right i sort of see what you mean

[ads0021]

I've got my low profile servo on its side. Loads of room!! Been running it like this for a few months now with no probs!

[darryl]

that is bloody neat what servo posts you using???

[mattym0310]

Its Lewis' car. I believe it's custom made. Team Xtreme were planning on releasing a conversion kit for this however, I havnt heard anything more of this so cannot confirm if it will happen

have you opened up the chassis to lower the servo even further?

seen a picture somewere with that done but can't find it

mattym0310,

any news on a conversion kit ?

[jeff jenkins]

really there is no need for a conversion kit as it is simple to make the mounts your self. its a matter of drilling holes.. but it would be nice if there was so that way you have the correct mounts and not have to make them yourself.

...

"open up the chassis"? What do you mean by this?
Any pictures of this?

about this servo-mount conversion-kit:
indeed very easy to make DIY, but I do know some guys that are VERY good in RC racing but can't screw a nut on a car without breaking some fingers
So such a kit can be very handy.

Thinking about it. If anyone wants some, I could make such a kit, by making some fitting special mounting-posts out of plexi. I'll try to make some and make some pictures, lol.
