Touring cars need to flex under running conditions or else the cars will be not drivable. Although carbon fiber is relatively stiff, it will bend and twist under load.

A servo bolted to it at both ends will prevent it from flexing naturally. Both us and YoDog are offering racers a choice of floating servo mounts that will allow the chassis to flex naturally. What it does not do is change the control to the steering because it only changes the orientation of servo. YoDog's mount will give you more space on the chassis if you use a low profile servo. Ours just maintains the same orientation, but both will float the servo and allow the left side of the front chassis to flex.

The other thing that can really improve flexing, is float your Lipo! That is the heaviest component you are strapping to the chassis. Correct location of the tape under the Lipo is important so it flex.
