I was actually thinking about dremeling out a notch in the cam,
but figured I'd wait for some responses here first.
Thought I may have assembled something wrong but after checking it over carefully, I don't think I have. Same issue with center diff and slipper clutch.

Okay guys, maybe I'm just up way too late building but I have run into a strange problem.
In order to line my pinion gear up to the spur, I need to move it a little bit down the shaft, closer to the motor.
Problem is, the motor cam (mount) prevents access to the pinion set screw. The pinion is also too large to allow the cam to slip over the pinion gear, so it needs to be in place first.
I'm sure that there's something simple I'm not seeing at this late hour, so I'm asking for some fresh eyes and ideas.
Here's a picture:

Just a tip to try if you already haven't

I dremelled a small groove in the cam. Also I shimmed the diff forward a little and when the slipper is fitted, I shim that back a little. This works perfectly for me. Just take care to note the orientation of the spur on the diff. The offset isn't equal.

I did try flipping the spur around and the offset got worse, so I guess I already had it installed correctly on the center diff.
I guess I'll just try a different brand pinion and see if it's designed differently.

I ordered mine from the XRay shop in Austria which takes about 10 days to arrive to any state side location.

Absolute Hobbyz received xb4 center gear diffs this past Wednesday the 18th. I think the are $61.
