Check the pics
This with the LRP motor.
With a GM you go under the belt and bend it upwards and tie it with a tierap to the stifner.

Whats the chosen method of routing for the sensor wire on these. I had a JS and the sensor wire on my Novak 17.5 SS was a pain to route. The only sensible way was to go through the belt and over the top of the chassis. Bending it to go in between bulkheads and out the other side was impossible since it prohibited the motor from being able to rotate toward the front of the car. And even then I still couldnt rotate the motor all the way because the sensor wire boot bumped into the bulkhead?

Thanks Roy. It appears the problem is related to specific motors. On my Novak for instance...the sensor wire is located at the lower left corner as you look at the endbell. As you can imagine that puts it right at the lower corner of the tensioner bulkhead. No where to go but through the belt and up.

Thanks a lot man.. yea at our track It seems like all the fast guys.. when they do break stuff they are casterblocks, arms, and outdrives... All XRay if i may add... Ill go ahead and buy a single set of arms, knuckles, blocks f/r, and possible some outdrivesand if I don't need them then it will make selling it (when of ir I do) that much easier... Ha or maybe I just like to be one of those guys with bags full of spares lol... Thanks for your input forfun... I have only been racing for 2/3 months lol granted I really don't hit too much but I know the transition to Rubber touring will involve some walls lol

Be aware there are two different types of arms. There are the "foam" arms and the RS or "rubber spec" arms. The rubber spec arms give a little bit more suspension travel and help the car with the correct ride height with obviously rubber tires. The FS "foam spec" arms are beefier and raise the ride height a little because of the low height of foam tires.

If you don't want to go to that expense you can always use the 1mm wheel spacers that HPI has.
It fits perfectly on my JS. Plus its super smooth and has plenty of torque.
