Default spur gear

I cant wait to run this car.

I have a couple of questions.

I am noticing a little rubbing between the spur gear and the belt tensioner. Am I suppose to trim down the spur gear (its the 64 pitch 128t losi)?

Anyone have any issue with 26mm foams rubbing on the front shocks?


Thanks for any help...
Your problem has nothing to do with the belt tensioner, your problem is that the spur gear is warped. Mine came warped, called Losi, they sent me a new one. You'll notice that the warped portion of the gear is the part of the gear that rubs against the tensioner. I would leave the tensioner as is and either file some of the spur gear on its side where it rubs against the belt tensioner (which is what i did) or get a new spur from losi. you'll find once you start running the car, you won't notice the rubbing, it's only when you manually move the car back and forth that you can tell. I saw another post complaining about a warped spur gear, hopefully the problem will be solved in future runs. Still a GREAT kit though.
