Yes, you can slide the servo forward or back as well to adjust ackerman. Bonus points for that

Here is Hayato Matsuzaki's car with the same set up;
Thanks Mike

I used 6mm before, but I think I got the servo in the wrong place so screwed the ackerman up. Did notice the links getting close to the upper a-arms as well, will keep an eye on that.

On a different point, interesting that Hayato's car seems to be 1s... anyone know if that is a Japanese rule?
