Kraton 6S Are your driveshaft and servo mount hitting? Fixed!

[joshjosh]

Good morning fellow Arrmaholics! I’ve been deep in the lab with new builds, and one of the issues I’ve come across time and time again in the 6S trucks is an upgraded center shaft rubs against my servo tray. With a plastic servo tray the driveshaft will just wear into the tray. I usually upgrade my servo trays to aluminum, and they come with the standard m3x22 or 25mm standoffs with 6mm OD. Switching over to knurled standoffs with a 5mm OD I no longer need to grind down the standoffs to make clearance for my driveshaft! I hope you enjoy this, and may it save you many headaches! I’m running the M3x25 in mine, and the servo sits just above

M3x22mm
M3x25mm

Here’s the old stand offs

Here’s the ones linked, they are 5mm OD. Enough room to comfortably clear the shaft now

I’m running the M3’s 25mm’s with no additional spacers.

Thanks Tex! Here is how I used to “solve” it. I would just grind down one post, but you can see I still get shaft wear when it vibrates.
