Who sells an aluminum wheel hex for the RS? I know jconcepts sells the rears but I'm looking for all 4 (frt and rears) no-one sells them together?

Since RS so new they are still under development. I read in the JConcepts thread they are going to release some for the frontends of SC10s using RS parts.

I saw the new blue front JC hexes at the JC 2011 Fall Indoor Nats this weekend. Jason Ruona had them on his SC10. It should be out soon.

Picked up a FTSC10 yesterday to run on shortcourse nights at the local track. I've built several kits and pay close attention to the details but I've ran into a issue I just can't figure out. When bolting the transmission case halves together the 3 1" long screws which pass through it which thread to the motor mount plate don't seem to be long enough? With the washers over them I can barely get a thread in the motor mount plate and by taking them off I'm still not flush with the blue plate? Tranny spins free and I can't see a gap or anything which leads me to believe nothing is installed incorrectly. Any help on this would be great. Thanks

Use thread locker to keep them from backing out.

Are u totally sure ur using the right screws in the right places?! There are (3) longer screws that go threw the tranny & into the motor plate... Check that the tranny screws are the correct measurements. (1) 4-40x1/2... (3) 4-40x1... & (3) .030 - Ballstud Washers used on the (3) 4-40x1 screws with blue loctite.. http://aedownloads.com/downloads/man...rtr_manual.pdf

Mine was the same. I had to leave out one of the washers so the screw would make it two or three threads into the plate. Thinking of buying 1-1/8" screws.

Both my b4.1 and SC10 had screws that were too short. I bought longer ones and cut them to fit.

They seem short but work fine with a drop of locktite to hold them. Thought the same thing 20 + years ago.

If you can get a few threads of the screw into the threads on the aluminum plate. That was my problem. Two of the three 1" screws barely made it in enough for loctite to do its job. The third one wouldn't reach without leaving the washer off.

Most likely it's a plastic mold slightly out of tolerance. Someday I'll buy a new pair of case halves and see if it fits better.

I think the issue is that back in the day the washer was a thin servo washer and now it is the thicker ball stud washer. It still works but i would use the thinner washer for some self assurance along with the lock tite.
