I run a Xray 4 spring saver and only required a slight modification of the servo mounting plate to get full rotation clearance.
futaba servo . no shims between the servo and the mounting brackets , the servo is as far forward as it can get . the stock servo horn interfers with the carbon fiber plate . if i put 1mm shim in the servo horn , the horn itself clears the cf plate but the screw head does not . 2mm shim in the servo horn gives me enough clearance to clear the screw head but with that much shimming , the servo horn is barely on at all . i guess i just need to grind 2 mm off the carbon fiber plate so the screw head clears the front of it . awesome .
also , i noticed the steering rack has more slop than my old losi eight-e buggy .... thats a lot of slop !
