Thats my thinking too, had a look at it, and it would be impossible to mount them straight. They would be way to short to operate properly. You'd have to cut a fair amount off the alu tube to get it to work, and I couldn't be sure that the plastic inner wouldn't "bottom out".
I think they are angled becuse it would supply some additional damping when the pod is compressed.
With regards to the servo.... I've now mounted it flat... admitadly with servo tape. I did attempt to drill some new holes in the CRC mounts to get it sitting flat...but the block front end got in the way of mouting it too the chassis properly.
Quick Pic
I've been trying the car out in the corrider (not the best method maybe), and it now steers straighter than before.. with good centreing (put a kimborough servo saver on, much better). All i need to do now is put the car on the track and see how she goes!
I'll look into the flat servo mounts (as stated before, I'm loathe to use tape/shoe goo), although I doubt I'll actually need them, as next month I'll probably be getting hold of the AE front end anyway (at the very least as an additional tuning aid)
