Hi All,
After testing several styles of servo mounts I've gone to production with the style shown here. It is a triangulated mount at the center of the chassis and holds the servo in place very securely. I tried a 2 point mount similar to the Xray and BD7 and found that the servo could flex to easily at the chassis center- on high grip tracks the 2 point servo mount always felt a step behind radio input because the servo flexed on the chassis centerline. This triangular mounting is much more solid but still allows the chassis to flex independently from the servo.
I expect to begin shipments of the steering set with servo mounts early Nov. Sorry for the delay but I wanted to make sure to get the perfect design in place.
Thanks!

Looks good can't wait to get one. Is the aluminum going to be blue or like prototype shown

Great solution.
Is it possible to use it only with exotek chassis or also with standard ae chassis?
Thanks.

What is the price point going to be? Will the steering rack be separate pricing and the servo mount or will they be a package deal??

Indeed he is! im not truly concerned about it but would be curious as to what it will be going for. Honestly, Ill be picking it up as soon as it comes in bc I HATE that single bellcrank
