Installing New Hitec 5765 Servo?

[Gaz]

Hi guys,


Need help with pics if possible. I have an aluminum servo mount and can't seem to understand how to install new Hitec servo with mount in replacement of stock servo. Are there any pieces i need to remove before installing new mount? Any help gladly appreciated thanks.

Is the aluminum servo mount only compatible with an XB and not with an Xb-e?

Which vehicle? Here is one in my XB.

Seem's like the mount will sit too close to the right where the arm joint will pivot. Any options?

Yeah, that mount is for the gas Xseries. It might be easier to move the rear servo mount forward to fit the 5765. I still have the stock steering servo in my XBE. I'm sure others will chime in.

Update guys,Just found an easier way to upgrade a Hitec 5765 Servo in an Xb-e in just minutes. No need to dremel anything, just simply remove the 2 bottom screw inserts with an exacto knife then dill 2 new holes for the screws once you reinstall the Hitec Servo. That's it! Hope this helps others.
