Team Grid TC6 Race Version servo mount

Team Grid release the Race Version servo mount for the Team Associated TC6 series of touring cars. Designed to allow for more chassis flex with the new generation of narrow chassis plates the mount uses only a single mounting point that floats the servo slightly above the chassis allowing natural chassis flexing. The mount is CNC-machined from aluminium and bolts onto the existing holes, allowing the linkage to move more freely by eliminating the sharp movement angle.
