Can I still use the Rebel axles or do I have to buy the Associated axles?
What servo mounts do I need to mount the servo flat on the chassis?
How do I get back to the regular bumpsteer with the servo mounted flat?
Thanks in advance!
I use ASC4626, which also includes a pair of caster blocks you won't be using. Yes, you will need to use the AE axles, ASC4627 along with the appropriate nut.
You could also use the Xenon steering blocks, which are a little 'nicer' and will also give you the option of changing scrub:

To mount the servo flat you can either just shoegoo the servo down or use servo mounts from any number of other chassis. I think the following are pretty good:
- VBC Servo Mounts (expensive, though) - B-02-VBC-5012
- Kyosho servo mounts KYOPZ029 (this red isn't a perfect colour match, fyi)
- CRC molded plastic servo mount - CRC 3315 (made for imperial screws, but should work with metric)
With the servo mounted flat and with r5 steering blocks, I believe I have 3 mm shims underneath the ballstuds on the steering blocks. Servo saver is a normal black kimbrough, lower holes.
