I just put together another servo saver from one of the kits we have here and fully cranked down the exposed threads are 3.7 mm.
So there are some small variations as the one in the car used at the worlds have 4 mm of threads exposed.
Either way thats both of them cranked all the way down
If 2 mm is all you can get now then run it with 2 mm and if you feel it's too loose later on just use a set of pliers and tighten it at the track.

I think I will be good to go Brudda. Thanks again and will have one coming back your way soon.
Just got an PM from a fellow XB4 racer whom notified me off a race event on the other side of the state. Sounds like a blast thus I definetly am going to try to head out to it.
Let me know how your Sunday racing goes and good luck Brudda. I am thinking you are going to have great results with your new 16.

Center Slipper Gear
Anyone know where to get the 75 or 78 tooth spur gears for the slipper? I intend on running 13.5 so I'll need something smaller than the kit supplied 81 tooth gear. Preferably I'd like to find one in the USA, but if I had to buy over seas I would.

Amain, discount RC, GS Hobby, or Absolute Hobbyz. All of these are in the states my friend thus I think you will be able to find one at one of the above.
I think Amain is low on slipper Spurs but I may be wrong in which all these other suppliers have worked great for myself.
Overseas the XRAY shop Austria is great so is MB models

So I looked closely and it's all put together correctly. Basically the little flange in the plastic part that keeps the post from spinning let go before I got to 4mm. So now it just spins and I can't adjust either way. Not sure how I'll get it apart but I think it'll work for now.

Not everyone like to run it cranked all the way down.
This is very much a personal preference
And if you are running a low profile servo you might not want to run it fully tightened either due to the gears getting a lot more abuse.
Malin uses the Futaba S9353HV which is an 1/8 spec servo in all her offroad vehicles so we're not really worried about gears breaking
