Default Assembly Problem

Hey there everyone, I ran into a problem during assembly of my kit and just wondering if anyone could help. I have found that the clutch housing and outer rim of the clutch are rubbing on the right side sway bar mount / brake disk mount that is bolted on...I’ve tried to get some pics but they are too blurry to show the problem.

Any help that can be sent my way would be helpful.

Here’s a picture....the aluminum housing on the left and white plastic piece is what’s rubbing on the sway bar/brake housing.

The 3x5x1.5mm spacers belong between the brake caliper assembly and the part it mounts to, in the picture it looks like you just put them on the screws. This would be Step 19 in the manual.
The order is screw->804422->spacer->804426 it's a bit more obvious in the exploded view on page 49.
Julius and lil-bump like this.

I see what you are talking about now. Problem is I don’t have those spacers in my kit, apparently that’s why I never backtracked to figure out what the do with any parts I had left over before going onto the next step

To me it looks like you put them on the screws directly, like you would with a washer, instead of between the two alu parts.

Here you can see the screw being flush with the first alu part:


While in your pic it looks like there is space in between:

Yes indeed I had the spacers on the wrong side and installed like a washer as you mentioned.

Thank you very much for your help

I have the 750 evo, car is nice, handles pretty well and the new 2 speed is super quick.

set up question:

Do you find that you need to add more caster to get on power and high speed sweeper steering ?

my instinct is the reduce front droop,

this is a medium to low bite track
To get more high speed steering try the middle hole insert on the front top arm. Default is inner position, bit I feel the middle position is much better.

Default How to route wiring

Hello everyone, just wondering what you guys did when it came to routing your servo and battery wiring? I really don’t want to have to cut any of the wiring in order to shorten the leads but is that really what needs to happen?

Thanks for any help that can be sent my way....

Thank you for the reply and pictures. It appears you have considerably less wire to even start with to hide. The servo wires on my project are way too long. My power wires from the battery to receiver are not really an issue as far as routing is concerned.

+1 for the harness connector! I had this setup on my Impulse way back when, and plan to do the same on my EVO (which I still need to build). A switch (mechanical or electronic) is just one more point of possible failure.
