Nerve, it looks like you're using the offset mount on the right and the straight mount on the left of your DS-285MG? Does that servo have ball bearings?
A listing of known servos that fit into the Recoil without major modifying would be a valuable post to have on here. Specs and photos would be good to have as well. Sort of like a tutorial. I could help out with some information regarding the DS285mg for a tutorial if need be.

I didn't really want to spend $59 on a servo as well, but it's what I knew so I went with it again.

The DS285mg is bushing (had to search it since I didnt know).

To fit the DS285mg I used both of the 90* offset mounts. I then re-centred the linkage and steering arms with the centre of the chassis and adjusted endpoints to fit.
