I seem to remember when building mine, if you follow the instructions you do end up with a LOT of positive camber on the rear wheels, bit of a cock up on associated's part I think. As for the servo thing, I fitted an after market aluminium one, but I had to file it down a bit because it fouled the top plate, not sure about the kit one.

If you follow the kit then you'll end up with a lot of negative camber. I just built it stock then adjusted it to -1°.

I've heard lots of bad reports about the stock horn so if you haven't got it I'd suggest getting it. Due to the chassis design you need to use a short servo horn or grind one down to the correct size. The distance from the center of the hole that attaches to the sevro to where the ball stud screws in is 15.5mm. this might alive your steering issue.

When you build it to the book it shows the ball stud on the alloy rear brace on the outer hole, it then shows it in the middle hole later on, but if you look at the kit set up sheet at the back of the book it should be in the very inside hole on the alloy brace......that is why it will have loads of positive rear camber

Check the Servo horn isn't hitting the top plate. May have to remove some material for clearance

Default B6 Steering

Are you sure that you have the steering rack the right way up i.e the cranks pointing upwards, use the servo shims to position the horn to run clear, I used a B5m horn with no problem the one with the kit (F) would not fit my servo as it was too small a diameter to push on. I`m running the rear in the middle hole position
