If I adjust the ballcup to be perfectly vertical it clears the servo, but if it twists a bit the edge of it hits the servo case.

Is there a good fix or trick for this?
Assuming I understand your explanation correctly, I would just recommend setting your steering throw so that the endpoint is just before the ballcup hits the servo case. You should still have plenty of steering throw.

(This is what I have done on every one of my 12th scales...)
