How to put a servo in a Big boys toy

All right I have to sell this car. and I have to do some thing to it to sell it. So one thing I have to do it put a servo in it. And there's not the room to do it. I've search on here and can't find a pic of one with a servo in it.

Do I take the bell crank out of it and put it there? do i stand it up and use servo tape?

I don't want to sell it but times a bad and some of it got to go. And sprint cars aren't my cup of tea. I got it in a trade and it looked nice on the shelf. But i got some other thing I would rather have. And do.

Thanks

post a pic of what you have so far as that will dictate what you need to do next.

I could do it this way. I know its not right. I would have to drill holes and it would have a lot of bump steer without using 10L servo mounts

And this way looks like the only way it will work right.

that's an ascot sprinter. you should be able to mount it the same as you would in an rc10. just use a smaller servo saver.

FYI, the side panels are on the wrong sides of the chassis. the tubes of the cage should be on the inside.

Man I don't know. It an old FP S28 and it as wide and the chasais. Maybe if i do away with the servo saver all togher. It might work. I doing the car in Futabe G plug. Or am i making the runing gear older then the car.

it looks to me as though there's already holes in the chassis to mount the servo using the standard servo mounts. but because the side panels are on the wrong sides of the car, it's not giving you enough space to mount it like that.

OH well that will do it. Thanks I didn't put the sides and would know the difference anyway.
I'll have to change that. Thank you scr8p

when you swap them around, the nerf bars will mount to the bottom of the chassis.
