Got started on fitting steering servo , decided that while waiting for the real chassis i can start drilling holes in the prototype to check fit , I'm thinking this position is quite space efficient .

I used the kit servo saver parts to make up a raised more central steering position much like the period mod using half an AE RC10 servo saver , i 3d printed a fixed joiner to connect the two pieces where the plastic C spring for the servo saver would be .

This steering system virtually eliminates bump steer , there is a little below the droop but above droop the steering is unaffected.

The body is from Penguin and is designed for the TMS chassis , I'm not sure who made it originally but it should fit most of the similar chassis types or even the stock chassis .
