WPL CX4 Gearbox Riser + Shift Servo Brace

Riser mount for the WPL 2 speed gearbox/brace for the gearshift servo and bed riser part as well as instructions for how i did mine.

As the body does not sit flush like this and i wanted to minimize the amount of cutting required i added 5mm spaces onto the screws holding the tray under the hood and notched the servo tray so the bumper mounts above, rather than below it, still using the same holes.

The hoops at the front of the bed mount to the middle holes on the gearbox.

I remixed a rear chassi brace to include raised parts to support the underside of the bed and used a longer screw.

There is still a slight amout of cutting required to fit the bed on.

A bonus is that this makes the tires no longer rub on the body at full suspension compression.

I used 6xm2 6mm hex bolts, 6x m2 washers and 6xm2 nuts to mount the risers parts through the standard gearbox holes and the regular self tapper plastic screws to mount the gearbox to the risers.

I screwed a longer m2 hex bolt, maybe 12mm, through the hole at the base of the servo brace part in order to strengthen it. This might not be necessary as the part is also braced against the inside of the chassi rail but i figured it still put this into the design.
