i ground the shoulder of the pinion i elongated the holes in the disc to use the lower holes to lower the stock brushed motor but it ended up too low and is hitting something. not the chassis cause i dremeled that. i think its the motor bolt hitting the slot where the disc goes in.frustrsting for a new car:-(
how about another idler pully to keep the belt away from the pinion?
Many people arent having this promblem anymore, because everybody is running a brushless system, and these brushless motors are usally a 20mm motor, so you can mount the motor "offest" on the motor mount so it sits lower in the chassis and clears the belt
