Adding Extra Post to Fg Radio Tray

[dwarfy]

This has probably been covered before but a few have mentioned the flex in the std tray recently so here goes.......

The std FG radio tray flexes big time under braking and reduces the performance of your set-up considerably. Most go for a stiffer ally tray but the std tray works fine with an extra post added to the front end on the throttle / brake side. If you have an additional brake servo on the opp side you can add a post there as well.

I used an M6x50 c/sk screw with nuts & penny washers & drilled the tray and chassis 6.5mm. The underside of the chassis is countersunk to suit the head of the screw and give a flat finish. don't forget to threadlock the nuts to stop them vibrating loose when you are running! Time taken = 5 mins

great idea with the bolts. I always made a standoff with a tube of some sort. this is simple and probably stronger.

Cheers Pipe The 50mm screw is perfect length as well so no cutting down required. If you need to remove the tray just take off the top nut & the screw stays fixed in place.
