As Jason said you want the tie rods straight or a little foward but shouldn't be so far foward that they are hitting the upper hinge pin. If they are then either your servo is too far foward or you are running the ball studs on the front of the servo saver instead of on the back. There are 4 holes in the chassis where the servo mounts, 2 on each side of the servo. There are also 2 holes on the bottom of each servo mount. This gives 4 combinations of how far foward or back the servo can be mounted. Different servos have different heights so your servo may not fit right in the exact holes the instructions say. Move your servo back until the tie rods are as straight as possible. The furthest back would be the 2 back holes on the chassis and the 2 foward holes on the servo mounts. That should move the tie rods far enough away from the upper hinge pin so that they don't hit except at extreme steering which you shouldn't be using that much anyway.
Explain where these are
