Thanks, no doubt you have more clearance. I double checked the manual and it appears to be all assembled and setup right for the engine in a rear position. I've tried the link to the right down lower and the linkages rub and are close to the foam. Here I have it to the left in a straight fashion with the carb. If I rotate it counter clockwise it will no longer be aligned and will rub with the servo horn slightly.
Based on the amount of space you have, I must be doing something wrong, but I'm not seeing what it is.
Engine is a werks b6 for what it's worth if somehow something is different there.

of "stable" cars have come on the market in the last couple of years, this car
bucks that trend and goes the other way with quick reflexes and better mass
centralization. Lots of steering, lots of rear grip, tons of corner speed.
I have not seen anything on this car that would lead me to think it will wear
any faster than other brands and the durability is top notch.
Put it together well, spend a little time dialing it in and finding a setup you like
and this car will leave you with a big smile.

Right now I am using a vented REDS bell. You will need about 2.5mm of spacers
between the flywheel and front bearing and then some 3x5 shims on the end
to make it all work. The Tekno bell does not require the flywheel to be shimmed
but as I remember it still needed some 3x5 shims for the front bearing if you had
it shimmed far enough forward to clear the flywheel.
NEW bells only with the BuKu. You never want to use a bell thats been run with
aluminum shoes.

on the air filter topic, i also use the losi filter because i run the FTW body and the stock filter doesnt fit but im thinking the reason i lose my breaks is because the filter is getting "squeezed" under the body and the oil is dripping down onto my brake pads? If so, will spraying brake cleaner on the pads hurt them, i know its "brake" cleaner but its for automobiles so jsut wanted to make sure before i start doing it.

sorry dripping is the wrong word but only way i could describe it but my filter gets pressed against the "T" logo on the center diff and then gets oil on it and im wondering if some of it is finding its way to the brake pads because it seems no matter how i set it up mechanically, i still dont have great brakes and ive tried everything w the servo, links, pad screws etc...

Clutch tuning some people take to the extreme. Having an extremely tunable clutch can gain you those couple of tenths when set correctly. When you get it wrong though, it can ruin everything.

Just ordered an RW Mod FX Royal to put in the NB48, I am running the 2100 high rpm pipe because I was told the FX has a similar power band to the OS Speed 21XZ which is ALL bottom and I prefer a smoother power band so Im hoping the FX isnt exactly the same as the OS.
