Any servo mount will basically work, you can even make your own with a generic aluminum servo mount and some aluminum stand offs. We used to have a how too thread with all the info on what dimension standoffs you need.
Thanks for the tip, but I think I can't buy this component from hot racing in Germany
What is a CF top plate?
Then I’d highly recommend the Scorched unit, shipping from UK.
They make some nice stuff for sure. I have had my eye on their carbon fiber Kraton 6s chassis.
Strong servos can easily “tweak” the plastic mounts under load. Even if endpoints are set correctly, you can pick up the truck, turn it on, and turn the wheels back and forth rapidly and see the mount moving and twisting to a point.
You definitely don’t need them. Plastic mounts can bend as @Dan B. mentioned, but I’ve found that you can reduce most of the flex by simply using longer screws between chassis and mount.
Thanks. I've been looking for upgrades, but didn't see an advantage for that. I did exactly what you said. Longer screws.
I’d agree for off road bashers, but for road cars I don’t. The steering is so much more precise when you tighten up all tolerances from the servo to the wheels. I was just thinking about it, and I can’t remember when an aluminum servo mount wasn’t the first upgrade that every one of my 6s Arrmas got.
Valid point
One of the first mods I did to my Kraton 6s was installing a Hot Racing aluminum servo mount with a more powerful servo. The mount takes some of the slop out of the steering, especially if you have a more powerful servo.
