When building the car in mid motor with the 521-1 rear arms do you run the 2 mm spacers. I would say no but thought I'd ask
Also do you have to grind the chassis to get the arm to clear?

If you run saddle packs you will probably have to shave off the two plastic mounting posts on the front of the motor guard in order to fit them in, then you position the forward battery holder as far back as you can. This gives you room for the ESC and Rx in front of the battery. I copied this off of the team drivers' layouts.
Only catch is the battery strap is about 1mm too short to fit under the motor guard and hold the batteries down (the mounting posts you shaved off would have held the back portion of the battery hold down, allowing the strap to fit under it). My solution was to buy the JConcepts CF battery strap for the B4.2 and dremel off the front portion of it, then shorten the length a bit. It looks great.
I noticed on Ty Tessman's MM RB6, which he ran saddle packs with when he won the World's warm up last weekend, that he didn't seem to be using a battery strap. I'm guessing he taped them or something. Based on the pic, it didn't look like he had just removed it while in the pits.

on the bench or on the track?
It's usually due to the servo imo. I'm running an RSX one10 LP and it usually is about half a deg out trying to centre on the setup station, but centres properly in practice.
Check your slop anyway. From memory the Exotek rack needed a couple of shims between the rack and the cranks.
