SO removing the inner seal right off the bat is probably the best idea....

Has anyone else had issues when trying to mount the B5 Pro to the Losi 8T 2.0? I am having issues with the carb slide catching the plastic cover on the centre diff housing. I have tried to move the engine mounts back as far as possible but it still wont work. I could spin the carb linkage but it would mean the linkage to from the carb to servo would not be parralell.... Can anyone offer any solutions?

The biggest decision is whether to leave both seals on or not....

I've only opened a handful of engines and all had both seals on the front bearing. I would think that if it's a problem, the manufactures wouldn't put them on to start with. Removing one of the seals in my opinion could also induce are leaks and fuel leaks through the front bearing. JMO.

i have never seen an engine come with both seals on... that's a first for me.. the reason why one seal is left off is for lubrication purposes..
