FG Sportsline 4wd

[brianlt]

I purchased an FG a couple of months ago. I decided to redo the whole servo setup. It's been through a couple of different iterations. Here are some updated pics. I changed the top brace a little and tied it into the servo plate. I'm going to change the servo tray to put the radio box back behind the servos. Other than that..I'm done

I like! How well does it perform?

It works really well. Steering is super crisp and no slop.

why would you want to put the radio box behind the servos,it helps balance out

the weight of your side pipe where it is,like mine does

The only reason for moving it is so I have room if I decide to convert to hydraulic brakes.

mine has hyd brakes and the radio box is on the side.......i can see the point

if you had no room like i have done on my M/T

I did the tray myself..at least the design and mockup. I found a guy who cuts carbon fiber and another who made the standoffs for me.

I've been looking at that pipe. Where did you get it from? That's going to be my next purchase

not a fan of the stock fg 4wd servo setup just looks like they slapped the servo on the chassis and said that'll do, but this looks factory maybe fg should see this as its how it should have always been great job on the design looks spot on

Thanks That's the reason I did it. Factory setup, to me, seems so cheaply done...and like you said, slapped together.
