Tamiya King Yellow Electronics Platform Mount Holder

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

Despite its size, I found the space available for mounting the speed controller, receiver and other electronics quite unsatisfying. Especially the King Yellow has a huge volume under its body -- so I decided to use some of it by adding some kind of platform to mount my electronics on.
There is also an antenna mount, replacing the now covered original one right beneath it. On the back there is a mount position for the ESC switch - it's supposed to face downwards, but you may mount it like you prefer. There are also some slots to provide support for cable ties.
The platform uses all provided printable parts (remember to print two feet!) and screw holes already existing on the model. You only need some additional M3 screws (counter-sunk and regular head) for the platform itself and the feet holding it. You may need to drill out some of the holes with a 3 mm drill bit to let the screws move freely.
Screws needed:
4x M3, 10 mm, counter-sunk head for mounting the platform to the girders
2x M3, 10 mm, regular head for mounting feet to frame
2x M3, 12 mm, regular head for mounting feet to front girder
(A couple of M2 screws for the switch [usually already supplied])
