To anyone who has used the new closed layshaft bulkheads, how do you remove the layshaft in order to change a spur gear now? Do you have to unscrew the layshaft bulkhead on the battery side from the bottom chassis in order to get the layshaft out?

Thanks

Funny thing is that I don't do that with a Tamiya or HB car just Xray.
I think that maybe they are trying to design the car for 'EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY' hence the 10% (?) overdesign.
Having said all that I WILL order one when they come out ...lol

Barry coming back to orange... nice... I knew it was just a matter of time.

Hey guys,

I seem to have a problem with my Xray ECS shafts. At full lock they touch the front of the Chub inside. My Arrowmax ECS shafts don't do that.
Has anybody had a similar problem or a solution for this?
I don't really want to dremel the Chub...
Thanks.

Regards,
David

I found the problem:
I tested the shaft with full lock (steering block and Chub touching).
What i forgot is that the T4 platform has slightly limited lock.
I noticed that after connecting the steering rack to the steering blocks.
Now it's working, but the distance between shaft and Chub is still next to nothing.
