The rod is snug against the eyelet once I set the servo horn on the spline.

I use the last external hole and you?

With hudy bracket I use an external hole for both rods. I put a washer between the bracket and the upper link

By using a washer on the top rod, that would allow for the bottom one to move freely? And how thick of a washer will I need?

Your lower link appears to be angled. You may need a washer under the servo arm. In addition, the eyelet that it is rubbing against can be adjusted to move to the left some through the set screw on the top diff cover if needed. Also ensure the e2805 bushing has the larger part against the horn which would create space to lower the bottom linkage.

Yes...man Is correct.
It hurt me to explain it in English because I do not speak it very much

Ah..got you. I'm actually not using the Mugen servo arm so I'm not able to use those bushings because the threads are different for the screws. So I guess my issue is that I need to get a washer for the bottom rod.

So I tried shimming the top and bottom rod in every way possible and there's still a little binding against the eyelet on the bottom rod. My only guess now is to try the MBX8 diff mount and hope that the front brake cam is raised slightly to prevent the rod from binding or to get the non offset version of the Hudy servo horn.

Is there anyway you could get the correct Mugen throttle linkage parts and the Mugen throttle servo horn to see if rods and cams sit better? Also is the bottom plastic part where the brake rod is screwed into hitting the top of the servo? It looks really close.

I tried using the Mugen linkage and had the same issue. Top rod moves very freely and bottom rod is touching the top of the eyelet. The plastic part isn't touching but it's very close to the servo. If I back off the screw to give it a little more clearance, the horn will have a little bit of play. At this point I'm thinking the reason I'm having this problem is because of the servo itself. The bottom rod gets angled downward slightly as soon as I mount the horn on the servo spline due to the touching of the eyelet. Do you know if the MBX8 diff mount raises the front brake cam to give the rod a leveled resting point?

I think most servos are stepped up where the output shaft is which gives more clearance. You can put a spacer between the servo horn and output shaft if you need the servo horn to sit higher. Can you bend the front brake rod slightly so you get more clearance in the eyelet? I dont know about the mbx8 diff mount.
