If you have a low-pro servo then this is the best way;

Not sure if enybody's mentioned what extra trimming of body needed for exotec chassis? I'm thinking about uprades for my F104Pro with F60 body.

Thanks Mike
I used 6mm before, but I think I got the servo in the wrong place so screwed the ackerman up. Did notice the links getting close to the upper a-arms as well, will keep an eye on that.
On a different point, interesting that Hayato's car seems to be 1s... anyone know if that is a Japanese rule?

What does everybody use to paint the front and rear wings for their cars? I'm going after the Brawn paint scheme look and was wondering what kind paint would work best on the plastic wings... Just regular Tamiya/Pactra paint?

Mike,
for the servo setup mentioned you will need to move it back 8-10mm and use ~6mm of shim to correct bumpsteer with the longer horn. with the servo positioned in the stk mounts the change in ackerman will result in slower corner speeds.
The next best thing and best tcs option is to just use the short tamiya horn minimizing bumpsteer. mounting the servo upside down in the mounts can smooth out turn in and improve mid corner through exit steering.

I suggest 5-6mm of spacers (depends on your servo size) and the alloy horn. You want the turnbuckles perfectly level to eliminate the bump steer. Grind under the arms if they rub the turnbuckle when the suspension is compressed and the wheels are turned.
Yes, you can slide the servo forward or back as well to adjust ackerman. Bonus points for that
Here is Hayato Matsuzaki's car with the same set up;

looks like a TRG111(109)..
