I never had any problems with the steering links and servo saver, I used the top central hole in the servo saver as per manual, adjusted the servo to seat lower as to avoid the link arm rubbing up against the top deck. Other than that no issues whatsoever. My 17 is on pace with the 16 at the mo, still playing around with the setup though. Ity responds well to changes, flex more specifically. I have just installed the PSS shocks, I hope there will be a difference as our track is somewhat bumpy. I started out with 5k rear diff oil, I have changed this to 3k as per manual, hope it helps with some of the understeer I'm battling with at the start of a run, also hoping it solves the quick direction change in the chicane we have. Hope someone can suggest other solutions.
