A little more progress. Made a top plate. Functions as a place to mount receiver, ESC, steering servo and as a chassis brace. Yes, that tan flat piece labeled "MM ESC" is the new MM Pro ESC; very very thin and is wireless!
Showing how the steering servo is mounted.
This one shows where the UBEC is gonna go. I removed the middle section from a servo case and screwed the bottom plate directly to the top part. Should be perfect for a DimensionEngineering ParkBEC (little one). The enlarged hole is for cooling.
This is turning out to be a "kit bash", lol:
- Wing stay from a Mugen MBX5 serves as a standoff for the brace.
- Turnbuckle from a Jato serves as the brace itself.
- Steering link and servo mounts from an XRay XT8 serving as intended.
Next up is the battery tray, which I'm still doing some thinking on...
