Mount a low-profile servo on top of 3 to 5mm spacers, and switch the ball joint on the servo saver to point down to keep the steering shaft straight..

Normally additional weight is placed in the front half of an M chassis. Adding weight at the back end of the chassis results in the rear swinging around like a pendulum and impacts car handling.
