anyone else have trouble fitting the slipper housing onto the 72T spur gear? Mine just doesn't want to squeeze in though it sits fine in the 81T spur

Do you have the inserts for the alum toe blocks. They did not come in my kit.

Same issue, had to get a different spur.

Yes. I fought with it for a while and finally got it to go. I was about to put some heat on the spur, but the brute force method finally worked. They need to fix that in the next batch.

I have the FT C and D blocks for both my cars but can't find the inserts anyplace.I know that this is profit driven business but Associated should have packaged the inserts with the blocks.

And when the inserts wear out you have to buy everything all over again? I think we should all be happy with how AE packages their parts. Have you seen the 22 2.0 and 22-4 thread? Its ridiculous how some of these other companies are packaging their stuff. It's normal for this to happen with the release of not one but two highly anticipated cars. They will become available soon, until then you can continue to use the standard stuff. Your bling can wait a bit.

You may want to move the esc to the other side. The motor wires will be in the way of the thumb screws and battery strap.

Have no problem whatsoever in Associated packaging and fully understand why a lot of the parts are not available for the new cars.I was just trying to be diligent and use them on my original build to remove any mechanical variables for setup!! It's all good!

Change to the 3mm trailing axle inserts, assuming you're running the kit set-up 4mm inserts now. I went from big push to way too much steering with that change.

Could be...Probably your best bet would be to ask Humpty. If I had to assume I would think that he is using tapered pistons.
