Hello everybody,
first of all, I apologize in advance for the english mistakes in the following text. I am french, and I am not fluent in English...

I am finishing the build of a TRF419XR, but I have an issue with my front belt:

It seems to run too close to the blue servo mount, as well as to the center carbon stiffener.
Depending on the position of the belt on the center and front pulley, (there an approx. 2mm latteral play) the belt is sometimes in contact with both the stiffener and the servo mount.
The blue color on it already started to come of from just a 10 second wheel spin in the air, when I was testing the electronics.

Did you guys already experience this problem? Is it supposed to be fine like that on this car ? (Which I seriously doubt...) Or do you think I made mistake at one point during the build ? Can it come from a lack of tension on the belt ? ( Following the manual settling, the belt was feeling way to loose, so I already re-tensionned it a little bit. It feels totally OK right now. )

Thank you very much for your help !
