yeah make sure you've got them correctly aligned. They should result in the servo basically touching the CF deck. Make sure that you've got the right orientation. Is the turnbuckle contacting the upper deck atm? Is the linkage on a slight rear-ward angle?...

Don't worry about it...

i er....

only found out after another racer had a brief glance at my car. He was like..
"Oh... does raising the steering servo give you better steering? "

I was like.. "huh?! Raising it?.. i just assumed it was like that."

You should have seen the grin on his face...

So.. not a biggie. (Incidentally, it still works like that, just watch the clearance to the upper deck. But it;'s better to mount it correctly to begin with! LoL)

sounds like your gear mesh is to loose and your ring gear is skipping on the pinion try shimming tighter that is what it took on mine with it shimmed right I can use 100% brakes with no clicking

That sound could be your 1way gear stripped out. It often happens once you have used it a couple of times. Better change it and check shimming.

I think I am running 1 silver and 1 copper shim on the ring gear side. And 1 silver on the other side.

Check your pinion gear(diff) for rounded teeth. It seems once it starts to skip it will continue.
