My though is it allows you to tighten up the axles without putting side load one the bearing.

Yes, my JC centro body looks really good! Fits tight everywhere. I just have that small gap from where the gear cover cutout was. No biggie. This is of course using velcro, I cringe at the tought of using body clips on my car anymore lol

You can use the low profile servo if you take off the grommet that protects the wire as it enters the case. Sean C has a spectrum 6070 in his car and told me how to fit my sanwa 94647 into mine. If I recall he said the Cav "Adjusted" the bottom of the case so the wire exits through there. He was at OC_RC last night but I didn't look at that, I was focused on how he mounted his R10.

I'll see mine Wednesday I was super busy Thursday afternoon and forgot to do the backorder from A-Main so by the time I did it Yesterday it wouldn't go out till Monday

The plus is that I had 2 on BO and I decided to only buy one so the next guy on the waiting list got one LOL

jumping nose high could be a couple things.. your ride height in front could be to low causing front to scrub jump face kicking it up.. your ride height in rear could also be to low, not so much scrubbing but not enough kick.
if your nose high hit your brakes.. you can drop your front end
