Tried finding this info, without much luck....
The manual has a handful of long time brands of servos and the appropriate shims for them. I’m loving a smaller brand of servo (BK), what is the proper angle, if any at all, to get the proper drag link setup and how the heck do you figure it out?

After seeing this post I checked all three of my buggies. When you remove the shim you have to use a 6mm screw (bottom only one only) instead of the 8mm; screw which mounts the servo ear to the blue mounts otherwise 8mm screw will hit the chassis mount making your servo uneven when fully mounted to the brace. You will have very little clearace if any. The other option is to use the shim on the front side of the servo ear to keep the screw from sticking out the back and hitting the chassis brace.

Servo Centre
Just setting up my radio gear and noticed I need lots of subtrim to get the steering centred.
I am using a 25 tooth horn, before I pull it out and reset it, is this a common issue? I tested it when I built it and took several goes but the 25 tooth doesn't like being vertical.

Are you saying I need to shorten the link (take out the 1mm spacer) to get the horn to 1 o'clock?

i have an Exotek on my B6.1 and have to use a bunch of subtrim, on my t6.1 I have the FT aluminum horn and it's a straight up fit. Same servo on both cars. I purchased the FT for my B6.1 and am assuming a straight up fit with it too, but have yet to get it installed.

No do not take the 1mm blue spacer. Re-position the horn so that is almost straight up and down (close to 1 oclock) as stated. If all the turnbuckles are adjusted per the manual, your wheels should be pretty close to straight.

Not sure where this 1 o'clock business came from, I run mine straight up and down (12 o'clock), which is what the manual says.

If it isn't 90 degrees, you'll notice uneven end points at full throw which means it will take longer to reach full steering throw in one direction compared to the other. Can make for a car that doesn't feel the same entering a left corner vs a right.
If the steering link is parallel to the chassis, then you want the servo horn pointed straight up for that 90 degree angle. If it slopes down from the servo horn to the steering rack, you'll need to offset the servo horn. In the end, your goal is to have the steering rack perfectly centered with equal left and right turnbuckles and you want that 90 degree angle of the horn and link to keep left and right steering speed/leverage equal. Going to different length servo horns will alter this as well.

Thanks, you're right. I've written about this, not sure how I missed that the B6.1 has the steering link angled down.

Ceramic Bearings gear case
Does anyone know if anyone sells ceramic bearings only for the inside diff and gearbox?
