If the body has enough room for it, Maybe install throttle link on top of the servo arm. And adjust throttle slide arm up .As always we will see

Default Fix

Shaving the top plate is a known Losi trick to solve the same issue. However the Losi has even less clearance so you really have to cut that top plate back. On this one it looks like a quick smooth back with the Dremel would insure safe operation. No biggy...

Close to zero. Have not put it on the set-up system to check toe though but visiually it looks to just ever so slightly toe-in a degree when the suspension bottoms out. Equally same at neutral & full lock either way. That happens about the last 1/4" of suspension travel - @ all the rest of suspenion travel it is zero bump (visually "messured"). Thats with the manual-spec 3 mm bump-spacers.

Fuel tubes. The filter is not included in the kit. I think it will work and its nice if one can keep the tubes away from the pipe also...

Well, they're out there! Had the chance to go over one personally and see it run. Driver was still tuning it. Looks good so far and quality is top notch.

Maybe advantageous to file the plate flat, so there is a little more room for clearance. I guess time will tell.

Just an observation....
Look at it from the side, you can angle the carb linkage to fit between the center diff plate and the brake dics, no shaving, no cutting, just logic...

I was very please when I built my production car, everything fit together PERFECTLY, you didn't have to halfway shave down the suspension spacer clips like the TQ and EC, it was GREAT!

Would have raced it and given some feedback on my production kit, but my brand new radio system has some 'bugs'...
