Brawn FG drew up his own & some guy on ebay laser cut it for him. Im sure he will give you the details.

have a gander at https://www.largescaleforums.com/showthread.php?t=6463

should have all the details you need, only cost me £8 inc postage, arrived in 3 days, bargain! (you'll need your own mounting posts tho, and to drill your own servo screw holes. being Alu, standard HiTec self tapping screws will hold it good if you do a 1.5mm pilot hole)


if you want it a bit different (like changes servo cut-outs, wording, or something cut in to it), let me know and I can quickly knock up a changed layout for you. I don't make these, I just happen to use CAD a lot at work, so it's no hassle.

Is the black one alloy? If so you could remove the anodizing and then re anodize it the color you want.

jus got back from work, so will ave a gander at some of them later ...when you say i need my own posts, where do i get them from (alloy) ?

Voo mate, why u breaking your MB down ? ..its the dogs danglys fella!

jus had a quick browse then at 360250170116 but don't say if a mpex rhino digi 4 will fit, im guessing it will as the mpex rhino is just wider/taller but same length as normal servos?

Whats the one you got voo?

cheers again lads

Rhino is slightly SMALLER than 'normal' 1/4-scale servos, as they call them.
Check out TowerHobbies.com for dimensions (or Hobbythek). You'll see.

King Cobra used to make them in black. I have one that will be in the for sale section tomorrow. I am in the US but we can work something out. The one I have is black though.

hi guys, ive found an FG alloy radio plate £14 part number 66240, but the description says its for 4WD? ...ive looked it up at other online fg dealers & some say 4WD some don't, so im a bit confused weather it will fit my 2WD mb pro chassis?

any ideas ?

 

[atom3624]

Check with Hobbythek. Even if you don't buy, they always help you - in English!
There are MANY parts that are very different for the 4WD.

 

[atom3624]

Check with Hobbythek. They will communicate in English without problem.
There are a LOT of 4WD parts that cannot be used with 2WD.

will do thanks fella, good job i didnt order it! lol

 

[atom3624]

I've been re-defining the 'security' of my computer, and it wasn't showing the new posts, etc., and that I had visited. All's solved - teach me to meddle!!
Yeah, Hobbythek's very good.
I've placed an order during a weekend - just done that again this weekend by coincidence - and Wolfgang's calling me at 07:45, before I'm off to work, to clarify some details - good service.
RC Pitstop are also good I believe.
In UK, parts aren't as available, but MMR Largescale are very good also.

I got my box of bits from Hobythek this morning, about 4 days from order to playtime



as for the alloy posts I mentioned. I used some 6mm aly bar (from B&Q), drilled and threaded it M4. but to do this you'd need a basic workshop (pillar drill or lathe, and a decent vice with soft jaws)
