This is a well made SOA mount that is well thought out, looks great. Fits the stock ar44 and fit my Xtraspeed steel ar44s. Install difficulty is moderate. A dremmel and some creativity/patience are needed. If there where instructions provided it would have been a much easier install. Just a couple heads up... Using this kit means you will have to remove the stock servo mount and battery tray. You will need to make/buy a new battery tray and relocate it. I re-purposed a quad-copter frame plate and mounted it horizontally on the rear battery tray cross member just ahead of the motor. This is a popular mounting location. Using this kit changes the front end from a 3 link to a 4 link. You will remove the pan-hard bar and will have to cut the bar mount off of your shock tower. They provide the necessary links in the kit but you will need a extra long servo horn to make the steering geometry work. Also the 4 link bar looks nothing like the axial bar, so if you're someone that cares about all your parts matching you wont be happy with it.
Absolute garbage. Sure, they look great and the machine work is great. They don't fit! Not even close. Very disappointing from what used to be reputable company. Its sad when the no name company on Amazon fit better and actually work. So glad I bought 2 of these and am now out $70+
Was not a good fit Had to modify a bit for it to work. Tried every way to avoid but was off about 1/32 on each side Given the axle and servo position you would think the steering link would be correct- nope 2.5 inches short. Would not recommend
Reviewers agree the machining and finish of this aluminum servo-on-axle mount look good and that it fits the stock AR44 axle. Opinions split on fit and installation. One verified owner rated it 4/5, praising the design and fit with steel AR44 axles, but noting moderate installation difficulty, a lack of instructions, and the need to remove the stock servo mount and battery tray and relocate the battery. Two others rated it 1/5, reporting it did not fit properly; one said it was off by about 1/32 inch per side and the steering link was about 2.5 inches short, requiring modification. The recurring concern is fit accuracy relative to the stock layout.
