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 [76] 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” red button head screws [22] to bolt the servo mounts [77]
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” red FH screws [38] through the holes in the
chassis and then through the slots in the servo plate. Place a washer 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 red ball studs [29] into the servo saver from the front and then
secure them with a red locknut [9] on the back. Mount the servo saver to the
servo
.
2 - Slide a washer [8] over each of the 4-40 x 3/8” red cap head screws [78].
Now slide the screw through the servo ears and thread them into the servo
mounts. Make sure the servo mounts face straight forward and are as close
to the servo as you can get them, then fully tighten the cap 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 [22] to
lock the servo mounts in place.
4 - Thread a ballcup [79] onto each end of the steering tie-rods [80], 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!)
(use the hole in the chassis directly below the saver as a
center guide)
(Just get it close for now. It will be easier to
accurately set the toe-in once the front tires are installed.)
sing the lowest and outermost holes on the servo saver.
