No the skids aren't any different the different length's come from where the chassis is extended and the chassis brace length. Skids are the same. No I didn't forget man I have just been so busy with work and home repairs I haven't had time for anything else right now my basement is pouring water like a running faucet.
 
Ahhhh I hear you man I've been working like a slave lol that's why this project is taking longer then expected

Just take your time and do it right the first time round. It's going to be trail and error with kind of build. Take a close look and make sure everything is lining up as it should. That skid should pretty much line up perfectly with the mounting holes. Post up some more pics and questions dude I will prob be on here on and off until late tonight.



Doe's the two mounting holes for the steering link line up. It's the ones that mount through the skid plate?

I would say something is up with either the bulkheads or the skid.

Does the steering bell~crank post holes & the front chassis brace holes line up?(circled in green w/ grey arrows pointing to them)
If they do then the problem is with the bulks or the skid.

Check and make sure the bulkheads are sitting flat on the chassis, sometimes the bulks will need sanded around their mounting tabs to get them to sit flat on the chassis in the milled bulk tab pockets.

Both of my UE Thunder chassis are very tight in this area & I am going to have to sand some on my bulkheads to get them to sit flush on the chassis.
My bulks do not fit into the pocket milled in the chassis, I'm going to have to sand the bulks at the blue arrows to allow the bulks to mount properly.

Note how the bulks do not sit flat to the chassis, this will pull the bulks skid plate holes off just like what you are having an issue with.

Yup, you can set it up like that.
You can put the throttle servo in either the stock location or as a direct pull as in the pic you posted.

The integy parts were perfect on my stock chassis just having problems with the new chassis
 
The throttle servo doesn't line up with any holes

This is the only place it sits only problem is that it interferes with the steering link

Your going to have to set up your throttle like this for a BB application. As 4910 stated that is called a direct push pull setup. Also man I am not knocking the build but as Hotrod said those Integy arms are prob going to give you issue's.

You just use the throttle servo mounts from the original chassis and locate them on the side like mine.
