My concern is about how to line up the mounts on a mini servo with the mounting points on an M03 chassis. I hear of people using smaller servos, but haven't found any pictures or instructions on how they did it.

I'm thinking that gluing a couple of servo posts together (side/side) would add the extra bit of reach I need to make it happen.

You can run a piece of carbonfiber 3/8' wide from original servo mounting holes on the chassis and drill 2 holes in the required position for the mini servo. This should work fine. You will need to shim between the carbon plate and chassis and also use servo mounts that sit flush with the bottom of the servo. Shimmed up correctly and it will sit at the same position as a std servo. You can also lower it a little if you want.
