|  Whole different bta
Well at the last comp the front end kept getting pulled over backwards on the verticals, So I changed up the configuration and this is my result:  I can't dump loads of cash into this, so out came the scrap aluminum and necessity dictated the rest, here it is with the battery in place:  The tires only barely rub the front corners of the battery when the steering is at full lock. The servo is basically just slung out behind the axle, a short link reaches to the aluminum arm which pivots on the knuckles top screw, and there is the usual long link between the knuckles on the backside of the axle. Believe it or not there is actually no rubbing of the servo against the shocks. It can now roll the front wheels up a wall until the rear tires are about an inch and a half from the wall before the front end comes over.  |

That looks like a good idea, lowers the CG at the same time. Does the driveshaft clear the servo okay?

Yep, the servo clears the driveshaft by about 1/4" throughout the range of movement.
