Thanks Capricorn, this is the answer I was looking for. It's funny however that the standard hook doesn't seem to fit Capricorn's own tires?
Crashnco thanks for your reply, I have flanges on opposite sides exactly how it is shown in the manual and the rear axle is set in the 'b' position (standard) on both sides. I have disassembled the rear end multiple times to try and rectify this, however the belt always seems to want to ride off to the side of the rear pulley, and I can't understand why.
I am worried that if I run the car like this it will strip the belt or pulley..

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried flipping the belt and moving the pulley on the 2 speed shaft, however it is hard up against the circlip/eclip so it can't move any further to the left. The belt still slips off.
Interestingly, the side to side play in the rear axle seems to have disappeared somewhere in the disassembly/reassembly.. I guess I'll just have to try and run the car like this and see how it goes...

Does anyone have any pictures or instructions on assembling the reverse clutch?
My kit came with one but something seems wrong. Is there supposed to be 2 bearings in total or 3? If I install it with the 2 10x5x4 bearings supplied with it, I need more than 2mm of shims on the outside to take all of the end play out. Is there something missing?

Thanks, is it normal to have to use so many shims to remove the play? without any shims in front of the thrust bearing the clutchbell can move backwards and forwards >2mm (not 0.2mm but 2mm)

I have bought 3 reverse clutch kit as optionparts, and am not using anaything else. I have also noticed, that it need a bit more shims to adjust the end play than the normal clutch. I typically have to use between 1.2 and 1.4 mm of shims.
How many shims you need to adjust the end play is affected by the distance between the crank case and the flywheel (wich ideally should be close to 0.5 mm) and the cluch bell cab (wich you typivally adjust in the range from 0.5 to 1.0 mm regarding to wich spring you use, the level of bite, the track layout and the engines torque in the low rpm range).
So it seems to be ok what you are dooing

Hello ,

What is the parts that braking faster then other and what about belts.
What is the best solution to hide all cables from servos ? Is there any radiobox that possible to adapt for this car ?
Thank you!
