using baja 5b air filter but hits steering servo

[Damien05]

I put on my filter that was on my 5b on my rampage but when put it on it looked close to the servo horn, so i turned it on and when i use the servo, it hits the cap at the end. It also rubs on the filter but i figured if it doesn't rub a hole in it, it should be fine. But is there something im doing wrong? seems like other people are using this air filter system but does it do the same thing? please let me know if there is a solution, thanks.

It's a common issue, but it's easily fixed by crossing the throttle and brake linkages. Check out post #5 for a visual.

You need to purchase an angled stack to allow for clearance from the throttle linkage. After you install it, there will be no problems.

Or put the linkage under the arm.

the angled stack hits the body of the XB, and putting the linkage under the arm clears the linkage but the servo arm still rubs the air filter. anyone got a fix for this?
