FG Sportsline: How to install extra servo for front brakes?

[Julle]

Hi All.

I have a FG Sportsline 2WD.
It is the "2017" model, meaning it is using the front from the 4WD but without the axels though.

Compared to the older Sportsline model, this model comes with no servo plate and the steering servo is tilted in order to fit the 4WD front.

I would really like to install an extra servo for the front brakes.
However, I need advice on how that is possible. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Just buy a more powerful servo im running a 25kg savox in my 4x4 monsters beatle

That's not the issue.
I would like to use an extra servo so I can setup brake mix on my transmitter. That is needed for the onroad cars when racing.

Right so if you look on rccaronlinede
The sell a servo plate that can extra servos

Thanks for your suggestion. As I understand it, that servo plate does not fit the "2017" model.
It is for the earlier models with the old front.

That is why I'm seeking advice on how it is done on the latest 2017 model.

Yeah I wanted to get the same plate for my car .....but sadly not for my model either what you could also do ....although it would need you to drill some extra holes you could buy an extra set of throttle servo mounts and put it behind the one thats there now

Question what is your rear braking setup on your car can you post some pics

I was going to buy the servo mounts from ddm
And mount a second servo behind the stock location. Factory servo front brakes second servo gas and rear brakes. Add in the mix then shorten up the lines

I ended up buying servo retainer (FG 69241).
I then needed to move the receiver box. For that I needed to drill 2 holes.

That's the way I would've done it.
