We will be milling out that spur slot completely on one of our spare chassis. That would allow any loose dirt to fall out instead of building up a puddle of dirt. Most of the other buggies do not have this spur opening sealed.

Thanks for the update Ron. Like 117, it looks like with the 46 installed and not screwed down that the chassis may already be milled enough to have clearance. I was too afraid to try it with my son's car being new and not wanting to get the finger pointed at me for ripping his spur gear up. So, I guess you are saying you guys have tried it already?
