The instructions say use the 20mm arm, so I did. I can't see where I did anything wrong during assembly, but the 20mm arm is clearly too long.

My work involves making sure our instructions are right to our suppliers, so my first inclination is to take them as gospel. In retrospect, given this is a brand new kit, there are bound to be some errors.

I didn't lube mine and it's as quiet as can be. Is have you tried a different pinion to rule that out?

My servo (Savox) measured ~15.5, so I used the 1mm spacer.

I'm not sure why yours didn't fit. I'm running the low pro savox servo with 1mm shim and the long servo arm and while it's close it does not rub on anything.
