I'll tighten the t nut up a little and see what it looks like. The manual says locked and back out 1/8th but I followed the vids from page 1 and it ended like the picture.

The white tab should be pretty much bottomed out in the channel. If it doesn't something is probably wrong so it's probably installed in the diff backwards, then the diff was installed backwards

It will tighten up all the way into the channel but the diff felt too tight so I backed it out.

Diff was installed with the head of the trust bolt on the passenger side

It may feel a little tight until you break it in or turn it by hand with tires on the wheels.

If you only compressed the spring "a bit" it was probably not enough. You want to do it all the way till the coils touch each other, spin it 180 and do it again.

That's not soft, with 1.6s a lot of people are running 30/27.5 with great success.

It's installed in the correct orientation. The t-nut should be pretty much bottomed out. Here's how I check for a proper diff setting. Others may have a different approach.

1. Compress spring with pliers, then assembly diff
2. tighten diff screw until nut pretty much bottoms out. I assembly the diff on the bench, but set it in the car.
3. install in car.
4. put tires on
5. take a tire in each hand and rotate them in opposite directions in a quick motion and let go simultaneously with both hands. I aim for about a 1/2 diff rotation after I let go.
6. adjust screw until you achieve this. Unscrewing the passenger inner camber link ball stud and keeping it on by just a few threads until the diff is set allows for a convenient way to access the diff screw.
7. set the rings by holding a tire and running the motor at about 10% throttle for 30sec. Then hold the other tire and repeat.
8. Diff will loosen up a bit, so tighten until about a 1/2 rotation spinning by hand is achieved
9. run on track a few minutes, check and tighten as needed.

Default 1 mm shim at servo arm

I had to take this shim off to keep the servo link from hitting the case of the servo. It was not allowing me to get full travel to the left. Servo is Spektrum 6040. Is this going to mess something else up?
