You flip the axles upside down and mount the blocks to the holes that are in line and not sideways or you could drill holes from the bottom through to the top and do it tha way that wayyou could still mount the servo on hte axle.

This is how I mounted mine, and it works very well for me. This truck is running two 14volt titan motors and Ive had no problems with the mounts yet , even with thrashing it hard in the mud .


It basically works like a big ubolt.

I likey Did you drill the Rivet out in the middle of the springs or leave it in?
I noticed that if you drill it out and dont compress the 3 springs back together they tend to fail quickly. I made the hole on the bottom leaf block a little bigger and put a nut under it to it compresses the springs and now i run all 3 springs and they finally stopped bending into W's

restack the leaf springs in reverse and they will help the keep the axle from torq twisting a bit, just grind down the rivet. i'm have a problem with my pdf maker, so i will try and get you a drawing of the axle mounting
