A minor set back but, nothing that will stop me from making this rccustomzone Mini LST single servo mod / kit.
Ok so I got these aluminum spacers to use to hold the servo up. This will replace the spacers that I cut manually so as to save time if I have to mass produce this kit. I don't want to be cutting spacers all day long. Plus the aluminum looks much nicer.
Here is a pic of where the aluminum servo savers will go, circled in red.
They will replace the white spacers I manually cut to size.
Unfortunately the I could not find spacers with the same length that I'm using. To short the servo saver will hit the Center drive shaft.
To long and the turnbuckles steering arms hit the front side of the chassis.
So that's the problem I'm having with the these longer aluminum spacers. So now I'm thinking of cutting the front section off see pic below. Circled in red is where the the steering arms hit. So now I'm going to cut that front section off.

Which leads to another problem. by cutting the front section of the chassis off, there is nothing that will hold the front diff box pins in.
See pic below circled in yellow.
I realize there are ways to hold it in, but it would have been nice if the chassis took care of it. This will just add a little bit of complication to the kit.
Here is a pic of how the front end of the chassis holds the pin in. See section circled in red.
So any thoughts on how to hold those two bottom pins in?
