No benefit. Just for scale.

Also, many non-stock axles don't have a place to mount the servo to the axle, so you mount it off the frame

Also those that comp their trucks get extra scale points for chassis mounted servo's, every point helps.. If you don't plan on competing and a big ugly servo hanging out on your front axle doesn't bug you.. Then leave it there.

It does, however, get the servo and servo horn farther off the ground and away from rocks. I was always afraid of smashing the horn into a rock and ending my day | |

only problem i just ran into off a chassis mounted servo is that when the shocks reach full decompression it pull on the servo horn? when the suspension is at full compression-to-mid-compression seems fine? |

It'll put the servo a little higher so if you plan on playing in water.
