Just started putting my shogun together and i noticed that the hitec hs56 servos have 4 mounting holes and the frame of the shogun only has two for each servo. Should i screw the servo into the frame or drill a hole into the servo mount in the middle to fit the shogun?

Here's what I did on my last set up (picture) I only used 2 screws per each servo 4 is over kill. Also it makes it easier if you remove the one screw in the front of the chassis to put in your servos (see picture). Dont forget to put the screw back in once you get the servos installed. Yes you'll have to drill new holes.

what are those screws your using on top of the servo horn to fasten the control rods called? Is there a certain size that they need to be? Much better than doing a Z bend to the servo horn.

Thanks,
Just a note to those that are using the hs-50 for the tail rotor. If you are mounting the servo at the stock location, the screws will not hold the servo in place. a bigger screw is needed. the original holes in the frame are too big for the screws that came with the hs-50.
