Sam Isaacs has been doing really well on the new carpet with the MS6 & Nazda2 - He won US Indoor Champs with the MS6 and just recently won the Hudy Race with the N2, both events were on the new carpet.

This picture shows inner side of servo, i think it looks fine.
This picture shows the outer side of the servo, see the space between the servo tab and screw(not up down space, I am talking about left- right space)? It wan't a perfect fit at all.
I think it is the carbon top piece is too long that is causing this.
If I use these screws(that comes with my protek servo ), my servo mount would be bent as fuck. but they fit perfect on other cars I have.
Could anyone measure how long your carbon fiber piece is...?
This really bothers me, as my servo doesn't seem to be fit it tight.

Your servo is normal. There is nothing wrong. All servos are not equal and the mount is meant to fit most. You should have the washers from the Xray kit on the servo screws. They help keep the servo attached.

Dude, your servo is obviously the wrong size for the mount. Either get another servo, or live with it. You've never had a top TC car before it seems. The Xray mount (and all other top end cars) are designed to allow for use of larger/more powerful/low profile servos. Yours is obviously on the small side. There's nothing wrong with the servo support, you just assumed (wrongly) that the car is designed for it.

My savox 1251 wouldn't fix perfectly either.
Isn't low profile servo dimension pretty standard these days?
I means these servo fits perfectly fine on my trf 419 or spec r r1...

I run the protek 160t in my 16 and use two of those blue washers on the inside mounting holes.It will keep the servo from shifting if you have a big impact which will mess up your trim.I just use two normal washers on the outside mounting holes since they are spaced too wide use all four of the blue washers.Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply, guys, I am glad it sounds normal. I put counter sink washer on it now, it secures the servo much better.
Also, wanted to report my first run in TQ racing today.
Because this is my first time running t4, I was very cautious, i set throttle to 80% to just get a feel for the car.
My fastest lap with only 80% throttle is now 11.5 which is 0.4 faster than my trf 419 with same electronic , but full throttle. My average lap for is around 12.2, which is at a least 0.5 faster than my trf 419.
My friends were very impressed as well, they asked me if this is my first time drive the car, and it was. Lol, they also told me if they don't know me, they wouldn't imagine I am a newbie who just started 2 months ago.
I think the car just seems to be more direct, I could run the fast guys lines , while it was very hard to do the same with my 419.
I am very impressed now.
Now... I did break one of hudy Spring steel drive on right front side, but it wasn't because of the impact, it was because of those lock screws were loose and resulting the joints clasping.
I will make sure I examine those after every run from now on.

I use purple loctite on the set screws when I build mine and I make sure they are very tight. If you do this and apply enough of the black grease, you should never have any issue with the ECS. It's good to check them every now and then, but when built properly they aren't something that you need to worry about every run. I check mine maybe before a big race, but that's it.
But after slightly broke it yesterday( mine is lightly damaged, but holds up just fine, no bend ) , I think I will just put some thread lock on those swing shafts, those are critical moving parts.. I don't want them to fail.

The grease can render loctite ineffective if they mix before things dry.

Definitely use thread lock on both set screws... Just make sure to not use too much as that can cause some other issues. Once built I never need to take them apart again. Once and a while I'll take them out to clean and add a bit of graphite grease but that is it.
