Does anyone run the speedo behind the motor? I was considering this mainly just because of cleanliness of running the wires, so it's not a big deal. But since Ty runs it in front of the motor, I didn't want to throw the setups way off by moving the weight around. Any thoughts on if moving the speedo to that location would have a big impact on how the setups perform?

I have 2 buggys, one with the esc in the front and one in the rear. There is not a big difference in the handling. It's really just a matter of preference.

Has anyone found an alternative aluminum servo horn?

It appears the hex on the stock servo saver stripped out while I was setting EPA (yeah I know!!!)

Has anyone tried running a standard servo horn and put the ball stud facing the front of the car?

Drilled out the bushing holes in the rack to accept the bearings. Slipped the bearings in with a .5 mm spacer on top and bolted it back together. Result is just about zero steering slop.

I did a nearly similar thing with ours, used a flanged bearing top/bottom..
