If the full servo swing range is required, I too would need to perfect the alignment. But in such case I will still want to have some margin in the swing, so I would use a longer servo arm and electronically limit the swing via EPA, resulting in the same turn radius let and right.
Yeah, but using a longer servo arm you give away some torque and precision to gain longer throw as you mention, at the wheels. Conversely, using a shorter servo arm, you gain torque and precision but give away linear throw.
Neither is ideal.
For a mini, perhaps you can work a compromise easier. Racing TC, I wouldn't give away either torque or precision. And this is how we arrive at the discussion about servos. A good one will require a very small compromise on anything if at all.
Again, for a mini these requirements are substantially different to a TC hence the lower cost.
