Hey Guys,

Nearing the end of building my B44.1 and just fitted the steering servo (Savox 1258) and found the steering link catches on it. Can anyone spot what I've done wrong?

Cheers

The B44 chassis is different from the B44.1 as you can see in this picture.

So maybe it just wont fit!

You could try turning the servoposts round (I know that 's actually wrong btw), and fitting the servo then, It should be a few mm back that way.

But the best thing to do is probably file the casing down a bit, or file (mill) the servoposts a little thinner on the front.

It looks like you have the rubber parts in that are included with the Savox servos, try removing these as they should allow it to move back a few mm, and I think are not entirely necessary anyway.

Yup, that wont fit. You could take the spacers out but it will still clash. You'll need a 1251 or move the holes back (or reverse the mounts as suggested above)

Thanks guys. I've filed the bell crank down a tiny amount and removed one of the spacers and it's clearing fine now :thumbsup:

Hey,

I can't remember what come with the B44.1 for the antenna. But this is what I use on the B44 & B44.1 (and the Centro)
