Now for the servo mount... You will need 1 short AE ball stud (the black one I believe) with 8mm length threads. This will replace the button head screw used on the Ackerman adjustment. You will need 1 AE long ball cup like the ones used on their off road kits. I use these from time to time so they are good to have on hand. With these 2 parts, you will be able to connect the servo to the steering directly. Everything else is either being used already or at least came with your kit like 1 of the factory servo mounts and spacers to get your servo into the right position. I can send some pics if that will help.
Yo, please do send some pictures, Thanks!

Okay, I have applied a load of Loctite, it has sat for a week now. I'll try it this weekend. The threads look fine, it's just coming loose.

The servo saver cleared the top tray?

It now is the base for a (maybe strange) conversion. The idea is to have an ultraflat 4-wheel-drive chassis with a 235mm pan car body

Nearly two years ago I showed how to fit flat bodies (GT and/or Pan) on the TC6 chassis. I will use this idea and combine it with ridiculous wide foam tires to get this:

Still a lot to do. Body and servo mount (need one more) are ordered. Then I have to adapt to the body width with spacers under the suspension mounts and hexes. The front has 215mm already, the rear can be 227mm
I just hope the front is low enough to fit under the body...

In the end this thing shall break track records and be fun!
That think looks plain wicked, regardless of how it works out
