My mid-tank build, lots O pics.

This is a work in progress so......

Started with a piece of plastic for a platform.

Next I carefully dissected the stock battery/servo box as follows,
and saved certain parts of it for later use. (With a hacksaw.)

I cleaned up the pieces on my grinding wheel for a smooth finish.
You can start to see where I am going with this.

Next I started fitting in the platform and steering servo.

Keep in mind this is mocking it up for fitting, this set up is subject to change.

Next I turned my attention to the throttle servo.

Using the box cut and saved from the stock part at the beginning,
I plan to mount the servo nice clean and safe next to the engine.

Build time so far including this post was about 1 hour and a half.

Have to be up early for fieldwork, so its time to pack it in for the night.

I will post more as I go, still have to buy a Ofna tank.

I have to admit I am having a blast with this contraption.

All comments and questions welcomed.

Finished it up, need to test it.

Went with an FG battery box, mounted the switch in it.

Thanks,

I want to get one of those LED power strippy things and do like a "night rider" thing going on in the front batt box.

I want to turn that Savage X into a FLM Midtank... waiting on funds and time.
