It's been brought to my attention that some of you are having trouble squeezing the receiver between the servos on the 2.5" SubDrivers.
It's necessary to face all servo bell-crank horns (arms) inboard so they don't make contact with the inside of the cylinder. However if you are using a servo of uncommonly short height, then you can get away with pointing the servo bell-crank horns outboard.
First -- if you don't have a very, very small receiver, take the receiver out of its bulky plastic case and wrap it in heat-shrink tubing and (duh!) shrink it. It will now fit the provided space between the servos and provide clearance for the inboard facing servo bell-crank horns.
Like so:
If you need to drop the receiver so it nests with its top clear of the servo bell-cranks, simply grind away material from the center of the servo mounting foundation the required amount -- this will lower the receiver enough to clear the bell-cranks.
Many ways to skin this cat. Put your thinking caps on, folks. Don't make me come over there!
