I'm not sure why making the dial-a-grips have another 1mm of offset would make a left and right mount. The offset isn't to change wheelbase, it's to change track width at the hinge pin. The offset is to move the hinge pin outward away from the bulkhead, so you don't have to put so many shims against the bulkhead. Less shims = less bent screws and less block rotation.
The other option is to add thickness on both sides (to keep on center) and add unnecessary weight...not a good choice.There in no block rotation happening on the dial a grip with or without 1mm additional shim, money back guarantee on that. The block is already +1mm over stock TC6 so 6.1 only requires 1mm shim. And no matter how you slice it you will need a longer screw so bent screw is no difference either way. No front or back / left or right to keep track of, and still 100% compatible with TC6. No changing my mind now, just finishing another 6-8 months supply as we speak.

The things I have broke most often are c-hubs, steering blocks and rear uprights. I'd have an extra set of arms if I were you too. Haven't broken things that often, but those are what I have broken, c-hubs most often).

Not sure, this is new info to me. Given that if I offset the pin hole that will now make a left and right mount, or make them thicker overall, and that can run into interference / clearance issues with certain setups....at this point the lesser of all evils is add 1mm shim for 6.1 front applications. There is no durability issue with the dial a grips, unless they are talking about other parts.
All AE were trying to do is get rid of all the spacers between the mounts and the bulkheads, to reduce the mount rotation. The downside of the 6.1 mounts are that you can't reduce the front track width, as you're already running with 0 spacers.

Hey guys, I'm a novice driver and hit stuff often, one of the things that keeps happening to me is that the servo saver will break loose and I lose all steering during a race...I know it protects the servo itself but has anyone experienced this even with slight bumps?
Does tightening the servo saver increase its resistance to breaking loose?
Would it put a strain on my servo if I tightened it too much?

There's no need for any changes to the dial-a-grips. The TC6.1 offset mounts are the same as a TC6 mount with a 2mm spacer between the mount and the bulkhead. The track width and wheelbase of the car stays the same.

I originally made the dial-a-grips at +1mm because most everyone was running min. 1mm spacer anyway, and it gave additional material to make set screw pin lock have enough threads to reliably hold.
I would agree keeping the same gives more width options as well.
