The nut does hit the top deck (as you can see) but you are almost at full servo throw anyway, with a dremeling of the top deck you should be good to go.

Hope this helps anyone else with this issue.

Hello, I was wondering what is the orange cubed piece in your photo?

Thanks,Jason.

Just try a different one from what you were using.

you could use a short 4-40 screw and a lose female ball end like whats used on the shock tower camber link mounts and have plenty of clearance.

How close was the 23 to working with that servo? Did you ever try one of those?

To be honest i never even tried, i just tried the 24 figuring if it was lose i would go down, and if it did not fit i would go up. It would not push on so i just went with the 25

25 is for jr style servos.
