Savox/HR servo mount install help!

[Walküre]

I have a Savox 1210SG and a Hot racing servo mount. Do I install the servo from under the mount or on top?

 

[Mongoose]

What is the issue exaclty? There doesn’t seem to be enough room for the wire? It should fit but will require a bit of finagling. It’s the same on the stock servo mount.

Is it direct mount no rubber? Mounted under or on top?

 

[Mongoose]

No, I would use the rubber bushings with the grommets and mounted on top.

The rubber absorbs impacts and takes some stress off the servo.

All better. I direct mounted it with nuts on top for better access. The space under the servo is enough for the wire to pass through to rout under the ESC mount then both wire leads back to the receiver box. Came out good.

The original issue I had was mounting the servo with the supplied rubber deals. It was to high. I still used a couple stainless washers between the steering rack and the servo link to get it straighter.

When I did that it was super tall. I’ll redo it if it’s normal protocol. I don’t want to buy another. You scared me into it, lol.

Thanks for the help. I tried to attach a video so you guys can hear this servo. It sounds like one of the gears makes light clicking noises in the same spot when moved manually. I’ve never had a cordless servo before.

What did you use for spacers on your servo arm? I need something to straighten out the steering servo link.

 

[Mongoose]

That’s looking good! Definitely keep the rubber grommets in there. I used nylon spacers that I bought from my local hardware store (Ace Harware) I bought 1/8” and 1/4” thick ones but can’t remember the lengths I used in that application....I wanna say 1/8”.

When you go, just buy a bunch of aluminum and nylon spacers and washers that fit M3 screws...they are cheap and will definitely come in handy when you need them.

I didn’t use any spacers on either Kraton or senton builds. Used gka mount in Kraton and hr mount in senton. You should be able to see all how I use washers and nuts for straight link from servo horn to bell crank arm.

I used the hot racing mount and servo arm/link on mine. The link without the rubber grommets was only a little crooked but with the rubber bushings and eyelets the link was too much of an angle. I may be removing the grommets for a direct mount if I get the servo clamps from Voltage or HR. The horn touches the body ever so slightly. We shal see.

Very helpful thread. Just received the exact same thing as the poster (Savox 1210+HR mount++axial horn) and sort of had the same question. Because the wire is higher up the side of the Savox servo than the stock servo, the wires get very pinched getting them "below" the mount rim when you drop it into the mount. I was concerned about damaging the wires where they come out of the servo as it is very tight.

The pictures were helpful too, Thank You

I could not get the Axial horn I bought with the Servo (amazon recommended) to work as it sits closer to the Servo than the stock horn and the screw will not clear the body when the horn turns across the body.

Ended up using stock horn and arm/link with a couple spacers since the link rides higher than with the stock servo

I’m using the stock link which is pretty thick. Might try the HR horn and link but you say your’s scrapes the top of the Servo too?
