Question about futaba aluminum servo mount

[countstevula]

Question for you guys.....I'm getting some parts together before my Rampage arrives and I bought 2 Hitec 805BB servos. Do I need the redcat aluminum futaba servo mounts part # 050010b for the servos to fit? If so, how many do I need? Thanks

the aluminum futaba will work with the 805bb on the opposite side the radio box is you only need one mount and one, servo the 805bb if fat and wont fit under the radio box.

What servos can you use that will fit under the radio box?

 

[chevy]

Hitec 5755

could i get away with only using one 805bb for the steering? the hitec 5755 seems to be about $50 more than the 805bb

 

[chevy]

yes i have the mt wheels with one hitec 805bb and aluminum futaba mount, its really easy here's a link to mounting it...

thanks chevy, looks like I'll be running one 805bb then and keeping the other for backup

 

[chevy]

Yep same thing I did bought one hitec 805bb and one hitec805mg for a backup.

 

[countstevula]

you ever use the 805mg? they are identical except for the metal internals right?

 

[chevy]

yes exactly the same except for the hitec-805mg has metal gears , I did see a kit to convert the 805bb to a mg.

Not to hijack what appears to be a dead thread but....


Are the Futaba Mounts the same hieght as the stock mounts?

 

[chevy]

gee the thread aint dead, No I'm sure its slightly taller just enuff to fit the thickness of the 805bb and the hitec 645mg with a small gap between the two servos.

 

[Gee]

I made some mounts out of lexan before I knew about the futaba mounts. Basically the same size as the stock mounts. I was looking today that if the mounts were shorter where the throttle servo was sitting basically on top of the steering servo it would help with the clearance around the HPI airfilter. When the motivation hits me I will shorten the ones I made and see if it helps. I would like the futuba mounts but will have to see know how the adjustment works on these. Thanks for the response chevy.





By the looks of it should be able to lower it about 8-9mm. Hmm could even go lower for a better angle to the throttle if I had a half size servo........
