ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

[Rakthi]

Finally convinced myself to assemble the servo cluster that goes in front of the motor/gearbox. Not one of my favourite parts.

I am not doing a complete install on this because I will have to take it all apart again for painting later on.

The servos, frame and nuts/bolts are included in the motor/gearbox module.



First to go in is the steering servo.



Next the guide for the bowden cable of the transfer box/center differential lock



The holder for the bowden cable



Followed by the servo for the gearbox and centre differential.

The gearbox servo didn't seem to fit flush.



This is because the Hitec servos have these ridges ... The previously supplied Robbe servos did not have them.



No big deal, a couple of strokes with a file and they are gone.



The servo cluster ready to be installed in the frame



And held in place with 4 screws. The holes in the servo frame have thread in them



Contrary to the AROCS, I didn't have to bend the leads of the motor out of the way to fit the servo cluster in place.
