b44.1 1st time setup servo probs

[clemo]

hi all,

just setting up my my b44.1 for the first time,
got the motor in and the esc, but when i got to the servo it does not fit properly,
it doesn't fit properly as is it sits too close to the steering arm which rubs against the servo when turning,
i have fitted it as the instruction book,
i am using hitech servos as this is all i have from my 1/8 buggy,
do i need to use a different servo?
drilling two new holes about 8mm back seems the easier option to me or would this weaken the chassis too much?
is there an easy fix or a trick or two that people use?

cheers rob.
