I think manual recommends spacing mounting up with white nylon washers supplied. I have designed a front mount to avoid having to do this, as it seemed to take too many hands to assemble,DerbyDan wrote:I had to spacer the front servo mount up about 2mm on some plastic spacers so that the hole would align up with the hole in the servo's mounting 'ear' ... I used the rear mount/deck spacer that came with the car as the already drilled hole aligned perfectly with my servo. But I think Peakey, it sounds like your problem is with your servo being too short? My servo is a fairly old KO 2000 series & seems to be OK. Perhaps your servo is more modern & is smaller?tamiyadan wrote:the holes are 2-3 MM out,, what you do is use thick Servo double sided foam tape and it fills the gap so the servo sits right.
I remember having to do stuff like that in the 80s as well.I would be inclined to fix the servo down with decent servo tape & just use one of the servo mounts to give you one mechanical fixing
