The only comment I would have would be in regards to the contruction of the chassis braces.

The "dogears" that you have attaching the bulkheads to the servo top plate, there are two holes for the bulkhead screws, but it looks like one hole to attach the servo top plate. If this is attached by a screw, seems like you are creating a pivot point which would play havok with the braces.
This may just an artifact of the drawing, but I could see how it would make the machining much easier.

Also, have you considering using a different servo saver rack? Perhaps you can use one from a truggy that points outward instead of inward. The servo could be turned outward or a laydown style, and free some space in the center so you don't have to have that arched chassis brace. Truggies usually have adj ackermann plates too, which is always nice.


The shed looks really nice. I wish I had more space like that for my stuff. Instead, my RC stuff has spread like a blob over increasing area of my basement workshop. I really need to sell some stuff!

you do know that you can just cog it around 180 deg, right.. you can use it outward using the same parts

LOL, you're right. I was thinking back to an idea I had trying to turn the arm 90* instead of 180.

The point remains tho about the other issues
