Hello, I just bought a 416 and am hoping you guys can help me out, new to both electric and TC, have a few nitro off roads. Boy do I feel stupid 
I'm having issues mounting the servo in the car...from my understanding the L shaped bracket is used to supposedly mount the servo over the belt as the hole for it is on the other side of the belt. But this has the belt running through the bottom screw hole on the servo case, is this correct? Also using the assigned mounting holes it wont fit, it seems my servo is too big(this may just be the problem not sure). I can fit it at an angle using the antenna mounting hole but that throws the steering linkage angle off a bit, and the belt is running throught the bottom screw hole on the servo case, this just doesn't seem right. I'm trying to use a JR 9100s, is the servo the problem or did I assemble something wrong previously? Thank you for any imput.

hi mate, you have to cut the bottom corner of the servo away to allow the belt to run past the servo, as for the servo not fitting i had the same problem with my ko low profile..i got a needle file and made the holes longer inwards to allow me to mount the servo mounts right up against the servo case..in affect bringing the servo mount holes closer together..when the mounts touched servo case boths sides i could line up the holes in the chassis to the servo mount..hope this helps..the cutting of the servo is in the instructions, but i missed it at first also...

Hey mark thanks for the input I think I can work it out now, sounds fairly simple (duh). But now I feel really stupid..
..not only could I not figure out how to mount a servo, apparently I'm also an idiot who cant read
I should have payed more attention is school...

Hi,
need ur opinion on servo problem.
i have place new sanwa servo erg-wz on my trf 416. when i on the esc, there is cracking noise from the servo. Even if i remove the steering turnbuckle and just put the servo horn on it, it is still the same sound appear..how do i so troubleshoot the problem?

ref servo crackle
my guess would be the servo horn screw is too long..digital servos have a habbit of making this noise anyway when under load..but try a shorter screw..

They Are TECH RACING MEDUSA MY07 belts, they are called Timing belt because you can match the front and rear red dots. I would not know if this is an advantage, but the MEDUDA is Faster as far as my track times vs my 416.

Hello,
i´m specialist in cnc manufacturing and i´m very popular in europe for my special tuning parts and innovative articles for many different rc-cars.
Since 1 week, i´ve resolved the problem with dust in the 37 tooths differentials: I´ve maded diff covers from lexan. They fits perfect and they protect very good the diff.
The covers are since 1 week very popular, many rc-drivers have ordered it.
If somebody have interests to view or to get it, don´t hesitate to contact me.
