I agree 100%, a longer arm gives more leverage, but obviously there are 2 levers here - the one at the wheels and the one at the servo, so if the servo horn is shorter, then the one at the wheels will "relatively be longer" so this is the lever that will give more leverage and as such it will put more force on the shorter level (the servo horn) which in turn puts that force into the servo gears.

I'm still not certain I've described this very well, but hope the above makes sense.

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...
