Why do you think the motor would move?

And if you're sure it does, why does it move? I mean I have seen cars in some really horrific crashes and the motor hasn't moved a hair.

One comment here. Most of the kits I've seen don't really come with screws for the motor, but I have seen some short screws used. That means you're not using the entire depth of the motor screw hole to hold it. I use the longest screw that I can without touching on motor's innards. To find out how long a screw you can use, try a very long screw and wind it in until the rotor can't spin or you feel the screw bottoming out. Measure how deep it went and how thick the motor bulkhead is and that's the length you can safely use. Keep in mind, if you go by the screw length given in books, they sometimes include the head height. You need to measure the threaded shank starting from under the head. I also use split washers under the motor screws, so if you want to do that, you can add another 1mm screw length. Never had a motor move, no matter what. You don't even have to do it up like you're trying to keep ze germans out.

1. Did you check the cams front and rear and make sure the settings are symmetrical each side? Belts should roll super smooth.

2. Check the center pulley and make sure it's on the correct side. Look over the manual and make sure it isn't flipped.

3. Spur must be snugged and shouldn't wiggle side to side.

Hey guys, been wondering how big of a Mah battery would fit in the car without causing issues?
cheers

I believe large 2s cases do not vary in size by much
7500mah is more than enough

many drivers choose around 6000mah

i have both a rs and a 2015 black. to be honest if your thinking about it you will be money ahead to just get the full option kit to start! that being said i use the standard rs kit for a USGT car and it works awesome for that class!

question. ive been looking at a lot of the factory driver setup sheets. and a lot of them say they are running 10 front droop and 8.5 rear... how? the arms would be in the air! or is there a different style guage that im missing?

also did they ever release the world GT car i had seen photos of?

I believe they measure with the chassis flat on the pitboard and they measure the distance from the pin of the arm to the surface of the pitboard. Hope this helps!

The measurement is measured at the pin. You"ll have to use a ruler to get those readings. You can just watch the video which covers this measuring method and many others.

I had the same feeling when I built mine... the stopper is much less "tight" really than you'd think. Just gently tighten the setscrew so it "touches" the rollbar, you need no more than this. Because there isn't much stuff to tread it on, you certainly don't want to tighten the small setscrew (M3x3 iirc) more than barely finger tight otherwise you strip the thread! there is no side load on the rollbar anyway so no need to do more.

Get a feel for "how tight is tight" by assembling the stopper on the rollbar outside of the car to start with - ie not mounted on the blocks. Much easier to understand it after

Hope this helps
