1: Yes, much less involved than an M05. I found it only slightly more involved than my Rising Fighter. 2: HobbyPark. It came in a set of 4 .06 pinions for $11 USD on Amazon. Plenty of similar on ebay. Some including a steel spur gear that may work in this car.

Issue 1: the screws. My M08 kit came with a couple of extra super thin head screws ( MC 4), so I used those at the front of the servo. Issue 2: the servo itself. With the servo sitting higher than it should the steering arms at the front bearings hit the front corners of the mounting tab on the servo. I removed the servo and rounded the front corners down with my Dremel and shoved the servo as far back as it would go. It swings lock to lock now.

I didn't notice anything off with the steering, but I haven't driven it much. And I spent about an hour last night fixing the issue.

Well, don’t listen to me. I just checked my M08 and evidently have the same problem and didn’t know.

Tamiya 50588. 12 to a pack. $4 USD at tamiyausa.com.

I honestly don't know. I'll dig into my M08 after work and find out.

Yes, I have. That's how I know it fits. And it's inexpensive enough ($20 USD, $9 USD at Aliexpress) that I use it in everything.

The SPT 4412 servo fits well... and they're cheap.

Glad I could help.

FYI: the M05 V II manual shows a different pinion height measurement.

All those upgrades on the M05 and you didn’t get the Version II suspension arms?

Ream out the hole in the hub?

While I do love an orange sports car, there are entirely too many boring Jäegermeister liveries.
