Thanks again.
The servo mount works quite well and hasn't been a issue, if you want to run a servo saver you will either have to grind a small relief under where the saver goes or raise the servo up about 1mm. If you chose to raise the servo, I usually run two layers of servo tape under the servo so that it doesn't settle down and cause bind with the saver and the servo mount.

I would run Martins last setup from the Canadian Nats for a start and tune from there, maybe only using 3mm on the inner rear upper link, or run a long rear link, but thats about it. You can find it on the Serpent website.
