neither. you will need to use some washers on the mounting screws and the wide mounts.
Additionally, the BMI kit allows the use of any servo with the normal mounts. I had no trouble mounting the 9550 to my BMI chassis and I didn't have to "jimmy" it in.

Anybody know a good servo that uses the narrower servo mount?

Keep in mind the '007 comes in 2 versions, rubber and foam tire. So your observation in only half true.
-Also, by just reading this last page, is something wrong with the bearings XRAY supplies?
Nothing wrong in terms of a manufacturing defect. XRay is saying that these bearings have tighter tolerances and so they need to be lubed sufficiently until they are broken in.

So Euro edition sounds like it would suit me better? Yes, we can run rubbers on the carpet track.

So do you think I will be better off running rubbers on carpet, and then it will be cheap, and cost me nothing to switch right over to the asphalt.

Alright thanks. I think the Euro suits me the best right now. I'll try and pick up the foam version next winter, for indoor season. See what I can do.

Acquiring the US wide top deck/alum posts, and running the posts in the outer position will help a good bit as well.
