1st kit I built right out of the box. It may say do this do that but no little pointer to tell ya where, or the best way how to. ?? Tilt tilt ding ding. So I moved on. Its in the gear case I can tell ya that for sure, cause if you put it in the top one it moves free. NOTE this. I took the 3 shims off the opposite gear side, it did feel smoother. I have always ran 6 on the gear side in the past. But mainly cause I was running 10.5/8.5 and it was still good with 6.5/5.5. NEVER had an issue with 6. But I rolled with the 3 shims cause I wanted to run box built. After a couple of batteries I pulled the motor pinion the gears where free and the rubbing was gone. So its optional to worry about. So I can say this I have built and driven the end result of the box stock kit. Choice of tires vary so end results will to.
On the second kit I had 2 weeks to work on it. I wont post how I did it cause there is a red flag spot where the bearing seats. I would hate to screw some one up. When I build this next kit I will do a vid. I really don't know the exact spot to fix, but I had 4 cases to play with. I tried a black sharpie to find where its rubbing and it was not showing its devil self. These little gremlins are hard to catch. I guess you could say I caught a ghost though cause I did get it to stop....
I plan to buy some cases off the shelf to build the 3rd kit. I just want to be sure about what I am doing. I just need a couple of more weeks and I will start on that.
I have one more tip/trick to work on as I try to get my moneys worth on the 2nd kit.
I want to see if????? Oh wait a hot second!!

I don't want anyone to beat me to this one......
