Still trudging along with my 2.0 build...
I thought I was pretty much ready for the setup station but I just noticed that I'm going to need some serious therapy before I figure out how to install the motor to the motor mount. I was planning on running 92T/46T (64P) but the spur gear gives me no wiggle room to put the two M3x8 screws for the motor. Any help is appreciated. I'm running the low traction mount BTW.
Edit: I'm reading some old posts that speak of this issue. Can someone recommend a pinion/spur combo in 64P that can give me an fdr of 3.7 to 4.2. 64P preferred but i'd consider 48P if madatory

thanks dan! the help is appreciated. i plan on running 17.5 blinky. is there a certain spur gear size that will best suit me around 3.7 to 4.2 FDR. i've been looking at the serpent gear chart on the 2.0 setup page. are all those listed combinations sure to fit the v3 mount?

Thanks. I have the v3 mount, 69T spur and a few pinions on order.
In regards to suspension, the 11mm recommended shock shaft length feels long. I feel the top nut pushing against the bladder when fully compressed. Is this how it's suppose to be? I'm trying to lower my rebound but I can get no less than 4mm without fluid level getting dangerously low...
BTW I drilled 1mm holes in the shock cap.

Thanks Dan! That shock tip actually worked. Now i got a nice smooth rebound on all four shocks. Waiting for my v3 mount and gears which should come today or tomorrow.
I wound up buying some 3x8x1 durango aluminum spacers to mount my futaba servo because the 3x5x1 serpent spacers would slide inside the servo mounting holes. Then i had to dremel the durango spacers down on the lower inside mount because they were protruding out a tad and rubbing the belt.
Has anyone had issues with the belt rubbing the servo mount? This car has such low tolerances. I might end up shimming the spur gear away from the servo mount to get a tad more clearance.

I put some little flat washers over the servo ears to help hold it down and they stick out just enough past the servo mount to rub the belt. I dremeled the washers back to flush with the servo mount and don't have any problems.

Wow. After almost two weeks my roller is finally finished. Completed my 2.0 build last night. It's scary soldering connections after almost a decade lol. Couldn't have done it without this forum (and petit lol). Thanks for all the help and tips guys. All i have left is to paint the body tonight and I'll be hitting the track for the first time in almost ten years. So much has changed but still remained the same. I'll post a pic once the body is complete.
