Okay, question to anyone who has this kit or Mike or jhautz. How am I supposed to mount the steering servo? On the stock chassis, its on it's side, so everything lines up perfectly. On this kit, the servo stands up and has the receiver mounting position on one side and the transponder on the other. Nice clean design, but there doesn't seem to be a way to connect the servo to the steering linkage in this manner. The connecting rod is mounted to the underside of the servo-saver arm by default, so it sits low. The servo saver arm has a captured nut for the 'screw with the ball on it', so it is only meant to be mounted one way. Even when I reversed it, which doesn't look very stable, there are still be some clearance issues on the transponder side of the board.
I took the stock mounts from the original chassis and they line up with the monster chassis perfectly. The allows me to mount the servo on its side and will work fine. BUT, now I lose the mounting positions for the transponder and receiver and unless I cut part of the aluminum brace from the original chassis, the servo mounts don't have a top-plate for support.
I can take pictures if necessary.
