titan se tail rod

[squeaky pete]

has anyone mounted the tail servo at the front? the kit come with a bent rod which i gather goes thru the 2 plastic loops on the side and you use the big rod for the tail, and the joining piece hold the 2 together, but does it work well, like doesnt flex or nothing? or is it better to leave the servo hanging on the tail?

like the servo at the front coz it keeps all the crap off it, but if it doesnt work very well then im leaving it on the tail lol

Servo at the front is the norm for Raptors, although a tail mount is available. Some helis eg Knight 3D have a kit to move the servo to the front from the tail! Mine's at the front and it works a treat.

My rappt v2 is at the front and works fine. My titan is at the back like yours but found that I needed to add extra weight to the front to get the cog right?. It may better to fit it to the front?

Mines mounted at the back pete. I know what you mean about the oil ingress so I taped mine up to try and stop this. With it at the back it means you can get a slightly larger battery on the front to get the c of g correct. More flying time/less charging

i was think that Cof G wld work better at the frount, had the same thing with the ely q, im gonna put it up the front then, mite put abit of carbon tube dwn the rod tho, just for bit of strength lol looks flimsy, that why i asked lol

My servo is at the front also, and the supplied control rods are fine.
