WOW, Jeff this car is STUNNING. I've been wanting to build a trailing arm car myself and seeing this car has convinced me to do it.
FWIW, I've always configured my servo links as you have it. It places the link's ball axis in closer proximity or directly over the servo's shaft pivot bearing and perhaps minimizing the torsional loading on the arm and shaft that can contribute to play in the steering system. At least it's a theory.
On a totally unrelated topic... By chance are you able to produce the four-hole version of the 6231 front shock tower in the period correct G10 glass? Reason I ask is that I am completing restoration of an early RC10 Graphite and a mid-production CE and I'm not able to locate these as vintage original parts. There is one posted on ebay now but it's in really rough condition (battered, extra holes, etc.). The six-hole ones are rather common (I have three) but the four-hole version in good shape appears difficult to find. Not sure if this the right place to ask such a question so I just take a chance and hope you are reading this. Can you please let me know? thanks! Now I'll go back and have another look at that awesome C2.1 build.
