Just for kicks, what servo are guys running in your car? I'm thinking of getting a new one. Thoughts?
Futaba 9550 and the Airtronic 94360
The Futaba is in there now for it's smaller foot print.

Default Cyclone Tc top deck

just putting together a Cyclone TC on the setup board the chassis is nice and level, as soon as i fit the topdeck it pulls the bulkheads together and i can rock the car from side to side slacken the deck of and it lies flat.
anybody had the same prob wondered if i used a topdeck from wce would this cure the problem.

Cheers

the servo doesn't hang off the side of the chassis and it's a hair lighter than my Airtronics servo so that's less weight to add to the battery side to balance the car from left to right using lipos.

Dude, you couldn't have read my mind any better. I'm using lipos too and I'd like to lessen the weight needed on the right front. It's almost ridiculous!
