Thanks for complementing the job, to be honest it may not be "done" as the servos are held in with something that was labeled "Servo Tape" both on top and bottom which in spite of being held on both sides is a bit spongey, so I will have to either glue them to the top plate with shoe-goo, which I hate doing, or find some tiny tiny tiny servo mounts for an aircraft or something that could fit them. The servos are sub-micro, and even a 4-40 screw is too big to fit through the holes in their mount tabs, so glue may be my only reliable method.

I mostly did this because it was cool and I found that I was making a lot of Ackermann adjustments to my car with toe in and alignment which was annoying and I had to take the car off the track to do it, with this setup I hope to make my Ackermann changes on the drivers stand with a few clicks on the radio instead of in the pits with a wrench.
