hey buddy. You can use them is you need to make up space but they are not necessary. The spektrum servos have a little smaller case then most of the other servos. On one car I used the spacers to make a tighter fit, on the other I didnt need them.
The spektrum is a great radio. No glitching, great range and a signal failsafe. Congrats and good luck with it.

Sweet thanks man. I put one reciever in my tsunami and the other in my mt2 along with the servo's. I got everything hooked up in my tsunmai and noticed it was acting funny with some twitching any ideas why? It worked great for about 5 ninutes then started the twitching. It doesnt twitch when its just sitting still but when I slowly give it throttle its not real smooth. I hope I didnt get a dud.

Did you try a different servo? Check the wires for kinks. Did it bind correctly? You can try re-binding and see if it helps.

I need some help here. I bought the GPM steering rack and have it installed on my mt2. But the link that goes under the front diff touches the diff. I think I have it in wrong if any of you have any ideas or pictures of installed steering racks I would really appreciate
it. Another thing is the 2 parts that you put the bearings or buchings it will lift up and the bearings come out. I think I have this think right buggered up. I have had so many problems with things not working since I bought these high quality GPM parts [:@]

OK hope these help. There are two small spacers that need to go on the bottom side of the steering arms to that the bar clears the drive shaft.

oh no something is really wrong here thats how I have the rack intsalled the only thing different is I dont have anything on mine to stop the bearings from coming out. Yours doesnt touch your diff? mine does and the set screw on the diff cup is starting to cut into that link. I guess ill have to make some mods to it.

You could add another spacer between the bar and the rack so the bar sits lower.
Dont you have the silver parts on yours? Thats what the bearings ride on.

It should have come with the silver bushings for above and the silver mounting posts for below. Did you buy it new or used? Ill Check on the body tomorrow for you.

I bought it new and there were the posts, bearings, plastic bushings and the rack itself. So you put the spectrum radio in your mt2? What did you do for the throttle and brake linkage? Im trying to make them but I'm not haven any luck.

There should have been posts for the bottom and silver spacers for the top.
I have the spektrum in all my nitros. I bought two dx3.0's and they came with 2 receivers each so it worked out well.
I just put the ofna throttle mod on my mt2. I had been running it with the stock setup but the ofna mod is smoother. Its shown in this link http://www.kedar.itgo.com/tipz.html#steering
You'll need ofna parts 10725. check out nitronutzz on ebay for to order them. Rob is great to deal with.
