Note with previous posts about steering issues, linkage hitting top deck, and if your anything like me being annoyed the throw is not symmetrical on the radio/settings, some working shortening the linkage tonight, I finally got mine perfect, 130% on the radio EPA settings give perfect near lock point throw either direction, actually 132-135% will get it to touch/hit either direction, so I backed it off to 130% to be safe on the Sanwa MT4.
It was driving me bonkers previously with like 125% one direction, and 145%+ the other, with the T4 manual suggested linkage length and setup angles just seeming all wrong...
(This is all with a Savox 1252 servo)

The Spec-r shims at .7mm should work nicely as well.

After that it's about getting as close as you can to a perfect right angle off servo arm to link rod down to rack, with the Xray servo saver, use inner top hole, with servo saver still dead vertical, if using something else, adjust to suit.

I ha e never really thought about it . but I have always found myself cutting that particular turnbuckle . I find my cars close to same epa L/R.. But never really thought much about it . makes since to keep epa same on both sides that way ur servo speed is the same L/R

Bishop, is your car less sensitive around neutral now? Or more? Or no difference?

If you want to improve the 'resolution' of the servo movement and make it more precise just put the servo link in the lower hole on the servo saver.
You need to increase the EPA and shave a little off the servo saver, but you definitely won't have trouble with the link being anywhere near the top deck.

Is the requirement to shave the servo saver due to the additional EPA causing it to bind on the steering post and, at the extreme, causing chassis flex?

Actually I also went one step further earlier today, and while checking the VR settings on the MT4, noticed it was getting more travel in one direction by just a little bit, so used the set screw on the wheel to reduce travel, so now have even VR settings left/right (It's pot settings vs actual mechanical travel), this in effect changed my travel again, so linkage length is up to around 42.5mm now, could maybe go out to 43mm, I'll see how the travels look when I put the car on a setup station, and do final tweaks then.
And yes, I do get overly obsessed with these things...

Ha ha! So do I! Thanks for sharing!
