Why is this? Is there a quick fix besides sanding down the side of the servo mount? I was hoping the car would be a little tighter than this, not really impressed so far, BUT I have not run it yet.

I might just go back to my TA04 and use this as a drift car or sell it.
Sounds like your belts are flipped ...... front belt should be closer to the battery on the front and rear pulleys. rear belt should be on the pulley closest to the motor.
