I used the S ones with my Hitec 7940 & 7950. They where a little wide, next time radio tray is out I will use the closest one.

==> finally you need 24T for Hitec servos.

do not have a Mugen currently.
but in my Sworkz, servo horns are named F, S and H

found that from Robitronic ( Austria )... could be a help:
(23T) KO, Sanwa, JR, Airtronics, Graupner, Mulitplex
(24T) Hitec
(25T) Futaba, Thunder Tiger
Ah, didnt think of that. S could also be for Savox which is 25T?

I'm not that far into the build yet so I'm not exactly sure how this would work. But that's the info straight from the company. The clear plastic is somethig they use on their on road cars so it's lighter weight and not as durable. After all the issues with improper installation they have went back to the hard material so when the are tightened all the way down the chassis flex does not break them...

2mm that's supposed to be the spacing..
On road cars don't have the chassis flex we do, and it wasn't mis-installation. They redesigned the bosses for the fuel line clips, which were hitting the chassis when it flexed. This was hashed out at length months ago.

Put A Layer Of Servo Tape On The Bottom Of The Tank For Padding Also ..... Works Great

For both servos, you use A on one side on the other you have to choose. I noticed they are all slightly at different lengths from each other by half a mm or so.

When put onto the tray there wasn't that much difference and they seemed to have held the servo OK.

Does it really matter which one is used?
use the ones that dont touch the sides of the servo but also fit flat in the radio tray .... you might have to try a couple to get it how you like it .. I dont cant remember which ones i ended up using for savox

Cant remember which one I used (can double check) but it was flush against the bottom of the radio tray but didn't pay attention if it was touching the servo.

Just wanted to make sure in case it somehow puts stress on the servo and burns it out or the part comes loose after a while if on an angle or something.

It would be nice if the manual was be a bit more specific!!

Broke my OS Speed XZB Spec II in today and painted my body. First time I tried something different than a 1 color body.

Not much on aftermarket parts, but this one speaks for itself.

Very nice fit, however, watch your screw length in the 2 bulkhead screws and the chassis brace screw. This top plate is thinner where these screws mount, making a longer screw possible to bottom out.

Also the standard top hinge pin shims made for a tight fit, causing a bind. I guess I had some 0.9mm shims leftover from the x7 build. Replacing the rear most 1.0mm shim, with the 0.9mm shim freed the upper arm up.
