Title: VMG/Leo-X ?
Post by: DaCracka69 on September 21, 2010, 12:53:12 PM
Found the site after looking up some stuff for my VMG's and stumbled across this. Awesome stuff you've guys have done. I wish I could make a trip from Indiana to race.  :flex:  I'm looking for the axle mounted servo parts but can't find what site has the necessary parts to order. Can anyone help me out on where to guy said parts? Thanks.

I think Swami RC was the only place that made an on axle servo mount for the VMG:

Swami R/C (http://www.swami-rc.com/VMG-01.htm)

However, I don't think they are in production anymore.  You will have to fabricate a mount.  I used some aluminum angle from Home Depot.  All you need is a flat plate to mount a servo to.  I used servo tape and some zip ties to secure the servo.

Here is the only pic I have of mine, before I sold it:

Well, after looking at this picture.

I turned my steering knuckles so they are toward the rear and just mounted the steering linkage straight to the servo without the metal piece and it seems to turn a lot better now.
