On the weekend I noticed a lot of slop in my steering. Traced it back to the servo arm moving. Took it out and found the screw was loosened. I have a Protek aluminum servo horn and pt a washer on and some purple threadlock.

In my next race I had my fastest lap & time on that track. The next two races my pace dropped back again and noted the servo arm was a bit sloppy again.

Was it a fluke, how important is a bit of slop in steering. When I got home I ordered a star washer and will lock it down. Blue threadlock too.

I've become paranoid about steering slop and want your opinions on 3 things;

1) how important is eliminating steering slop.
2) exotek make a specific AE 10th scale aluminum arm, is it any good.
3) the jconcepts centering servo mount is this a useful bit of kit or just bling. Does the servo move with stock mounting?
