yah the factory mount allows you to mount the servo up or lay down, ifound to much flex in the upright postion, check the factory web site forum for the steering mods, you will notice a big difference over stock ste-up
Are you going to run it at The Canadian Indoor Off Road Shootout this coming weekend?
You should, there is an 8th scale electric specific class.
I'll be running my RC8e and report back with more info after the weekend.
