Has anyone else experienced this? If so what shims did you end up using?

I know these can be tight until breaking in but just feels a little too tight for comfort and worried I may shred the gears when I fire the Truggy up.

Help is appreciated.

White, Red one stripe and Red with two stripes??? NO PINK??

Has anyone got this in the rear spring kit?? Is this correct or did they just package it wrong??

Thank you

I also got a double Red in my rear kit. Did they run out of pink paint?

I need some help picking out a good race quality engine for it, Right now I have a Protek Samurai that I can slap in there to get me around the track. Love that mill in my buggy but not sure I can compete with it in a truggy. I'm open to all opinions. I am partial to the O.S. Speed B2101 that I have in my buggy right now.
