Hi all,

I have been building a mi1v2 and had some great help on this forum last time i was stuck so here I am again,

I have just been about to put the servo in but have noticed the arm on the steering bracket catches the top of the servo.

The manual is here

I am on page 20

and the servo I have is low profile which is this one

Hopefully its just something silly I am missing,

Thanks

Hi,

Yes i have attached some pictures to this message (i think)

hopefully that will show you what is catching (on the upper left of the servo)

Thanks again

Still can't seem to figure this out, I assume all servos are the same size, the low profile ones, this was the one the store sold with the kit.

It just catches by a tiny bit.

Thanks

Some servos are a little thicker than others. I had the same problem and have bought a thinner servo, only because i needed fo another car also. Only thinner by 1 mm or so.
I have seen others mention that they put a 1mm spacer in the servosaver to lift the arm a little. Not sure exactly where they put it. It was on RcTech.net i read that.
