Thread: Best 3-Axis Skull Method?

Tweet

Hey guys-
I bought my servos and board last year to run a 3-Axis skull (oh and the Pirate's head & Rod End too) right as I saw HalloweenBob's thread started. I got too busy and never built it. I'm not looking to get it done for this season. I've been searching a few different forums and finding that others have done different methods for this- mainly, building the servo mount inside the skull. After about a year- have we determined a best/easiest/cheapest method to mount the servos? Or, is HalloweenBob's method still determined to be the best way? If so, has he made any changes to it? I see the original thread on it- but there's 57+ pages I'd have to read through to get it all. I even saw a PDF How-To, but that seemed to have multiple methods of doing the project. Can someone point me in the right direction here? I'm feeling overwhelmed, and I haven't even started yet!
Thanks!

Let me add... I'd like to avoid as much fabricating as possible. If there's a way to buy all the parts and is ready to build, that'd be great.
Thanks!

Hey, long time to see. Congrats on the little Haunter by the way. You're in the right place.

CaptainJackSparrow is here in the valley (closer to you really) and he is also working on these. Page 55 or 56 of original thread has his video how to on it.

There are a few group buys going on for the parts hosted by RBC and GymGhost is putting together a kit.

Might be a good group project too.

Awesome. I'll check our Cap'n Jack...

I also just found this- not sure if anyone is familiar with it or not. I LOVE the way he mounted it- seems much easier. I wish the servo arms had a better solution tho...

Looks like SkyGod IS CaptainJack... right? I shot him an email- maybe I can go see this thing in person asap...

Yup, this is the Capt'n how-to on the skulls.
