Adjustable Servo Mounts
The Gen-X 10 is equipped with an adjustable servo mounting system that will let
you use a variety of servos from different manufacturers.
1 - Align the adjustable servo mount plate [84] so that the longer slot is to the left
of the car, and lines up over the larger hole in the chassis.
2 - Use the 4-40 x 1/4” button head screws [18] to bolt the servo mounts [85] to
the adjustable servo mount plate.
Do not tighten these yet as we will need to be
able to slide them when installing the servo.
3 - Slide the two 4-40 x 5/16” FH screws [13] through the holes in the chassis
and then through the slots in the servo plate. Place a washer [8] over the screws
and finish with the red locknuts [9]. Again, do not fully tighten these yet as we
will need to move it later.
(Refer to the diagram on the right to decide which of
the 3 holes to use for your servo.)

Servo Mounting and Tie-Rods
In most cases, mounting the servo in the top hole of the servo mount will be
the best option for tie-rod clearance, bump-steer angle, etc. This could vary
slightly with different servo savers, but would be rare.
We recommend using the Kimbrough Mid-Size Servo Saver (part number
KIM201) and u
1 - Thread the 1/4” BH screws [18] into the servo saver from the back and
then secure them with a red low profile ball [12] on the front. Mount the servo
saver to the servo
.
2 - Mount your servo to the servo mounts using 1/4” button head screws [18].
Slide the screws through the top ears of the servo and then thread them into
the top holes in the servo mounts [85]. Make sure the servo mounts face
straight forward and are as close to the servo as you can get them, then fully
tighten the button head screws
3 - Slide the servo left or right on the plate to get the servo saver centered
between the front end. Once it’s centered, fully tighten the button head
screws [18] to lock the servo mounts in place.
4 - Thread a ballcup [86] onto each end of the steering tie-rods [87], keeping
in mind that one end is right hand threads and the other end is left hand
threads. Keep the gap between the ballcup and the end of threads as equal
as you can on both sides. Once both tie-rods are built, pop one end of each
tie-rod onto the servo saver and the other end onto the steering blocks. Keep
the servo saver pointing straight down, and adjust your tie-rod lengths so that
both front axles point straight out.
(you will need to remove it later to center the servo trim once the
rest of the electronics are installed)
(without causing damage to the servo ears!).
(Just get it close for now. It will be easier to
accurately set the toe-in once the front tires are installed.)
