The back location on the rack is for when you run inline spindles, because when you run inline spindles you are supposed to run the spindle carriers in the back position to keep the wheel base the same and when you move the spindle carrier back you need the move the inner ball stud back to keep the steering chamber link at the same angle.

Anyone ever had to modify the front top plastic bulkhead on the newer kits? Last night I had to grind clearance for the steering rack. The front bulkhead acted like a positive stop. I've never had a problem in this area before. So I"m just asking. In the future if I had to replace the front top bulkhead I would have to take the dremel to it every time. IDK.

Anyone ever have this problem on their rack? I had to do this same fix last night. I swear it was fine when I was building it, but after about a week of running it, the servo saver started rubbing against the top plate. We had to dremel a little piece of the top plate to give it some clearance.

It might be possible that the left side was pulled back a little by the body pin screw?

Mine is perfectly straight, but that looks crazy.
Is the long screw threaded completely in?
I don't know where the longer arm came from, as they all share the same part number. If you pull it apart, is the left steering arm the same length as the right one?

Was in the B4/T4 thread until I found the FT one 
Copy/paste from the other thread:
I'm thinking of getting a B4.1 and I'm contemplating what esc/motor combo to use.
Just went through the 10 last pages but did not find much (unlike the RC8 thread where there's a lot of talk about esc/motor combo's).
17.5 was mentioned a few times. Once even called FAST! which surprised me somewhat. Someone had 10.5. Another was a 3500Kv which should be about 13.5.
I'm confused... It does not all sound that fast. I don't race but bash with friends on a medium size track. I have a SC10 on 3800kv and a Hyper 10SC (4wd) on 4800kv. Also use a RC8e with 2050kv (4s) on a bigger track. In short; I like my cars fast.
What would you recommend for a (fast) B4.1?
Also read last 10 pages here; quite some mention of 8.5...
I often use Castle; How would a Sidewinder V2 with 4800 or 5700 do? Only cost a third of the "preferred" Tekin

Yeah, the screw is completely in. Jmuck is probably right, the top plate may be out of whack.

I spoke too soon, the long screw (securing the servo saver onto the top plate) was NOT completely screwed in. It must've backed out after a crash. I didn't notice until I took it apart today. Now it's straight. Thanks!

Pardon the n00bish question, I just havn't run into this in the past.
Swing Weight.
At what point does the motor position become a problem? I kept hanging teeth until I got the power/temp I was looking for. I ended up at 28/81 (the larger of the two kit spurs) with an X12 13.5 (still coming off the track @ 130-140*). The motor is all the way back and Im not sure if its in my head (or hands for that matter), but the car feels like it's lost something. It could be changing track conditions, but my main question is with it so far back, should I look at running a smaller spur to get the motor more forward?
