There is lots of room with MKS low profile servo...this thing is a work of art. I couldn't find my servo locating washers, these screws will do for now.
Here are some pics so guys can get an idea on the electronics bay capacity.

shock rebuild stuff
Eclips - I've had 2 break
Orings
Be careful not to overscrew your shocks into the arms. They don't need to be screwed in too hard. A few overturns and they are stripped and you will need to replace an arm. I say this as doesn't look like you're ordering rear arms and i've done that twice with an electric screwdriver at the lowest torque setting

Lyons, have you found the optimal servo horn position or does straight up do fine?
Thanks

you always want your servo horn to run centered - i actually have that same servo. you want to center the horn the best you can by turning the servo on and placing the horn as centered as possible. then use your radio with sub trim and center it all the way. then when you build the steering link put a 1mm ball stud washer between the two eyelet ends and then use 1mm under the ball stud on the steering plate that holds the link. and then i used washers under the ball stud connecting to the servo horn as to make the link completely parallel for equal steering throw. i use the hudy servo horn - you probly don't have to do that with the plastic servo horns because they're thicker.

Cool. Was curious... it's off center on one of my on road cars, so in wasn't sure on this. Good taste on the servo!
All shims and the build is complete as directed by factory manual. These servo units are short on the face compared to others, I may have to shim the servo face to get geometry correct.
Thanks for the input!

I didn't see any alignment settings in the box, the manual setting looks pretty close to a baseline out of the box. I feel strange not having a droop setting and the springs seem kinda long. What are you guys running on packed and maintained clay?

also for the servo - you dont need any shims on the servo itself, just potentially shims between the ball stud and the servo horn - i recommend an alum servo horn.
good luck. PM me if you have any questions - i know these cars in and out.

2mm internal limiters in the front shocks to limit droop. 0 limiters in rear shocks. these cars have a lot of front droop and little rear droop so this makes things perfect on indoor clay tracks.

I too cannot stress the importance of running limiters in the front.
Forgot to mention on replacement parts. In 8 months I haven't broken an arm. They are ridiculously strong.For me the shock shaft went first. Full speed down a straight I sneezed and hit the wall full wack
