Default What servo?

What servo do you guys use for your BD5? The one that does not rub or touch the steering post?

Thanks.

Default suspension mount

Could somebody measure the distance between the screw holes on the suspension mounts for me?

Thank you,
Patrick

The kit run good out of the box, you just need to figure out your setup on your track, first thing broke in my kit was the plastic spool out drives... you will need to replace that with the steel from http://www.rc-mushroom.com/product_i...ducts_id=19229
you might want to get a set of springs & sway bars for tuning, I'm currently using my Xray spring. Are you running asphalt or carpet?

The 8mm steering rack places the holes closer together where the ballstuds screw into, effectively making it longer. std one would be 10mm. It will make the car more responsive.

The sanwa should fit, not sure on the Savöx.
