I think you had to install the motor first and they line the holes up because you failed to look at the instructions in greater detail.
I can say this in conclusion about the Grid Mount or anything else on this car....
If you're experiencing problems -- it's probably user / builder error. Just re-check your work.
Well, can't believe I f**ked that up. Now I'll need to retake all my pictures...
Funny how may photo's i've posted of this and nobody caught that aside from Bhodi! Thanks Bhodi & thanks Billy for catchin that stupid shiznit.
I should of been a little more specific, there is a spacer between the center diff and the chassis, this is where my problem was lining everything up to mount the Castle/Grid/Diff to the 4 chassis screws with one hand.
If you had read my signature you would see I am running the Castle Creations 2200Kv motor and not the Tekin, the mounting holes are different and two of my mounting screws are behind the Spur gear. After taking the center plate out of the Grid mount I still couldn't get the right angle for the wires off the 2200KV motor, to allow enough room to rotate the center plate in the Grid Mount to allow for pinion mesh.
Hence the whole separation thing. But before you decide to comment on my attention span and reading comprehension again, at least semi know the facts and then be sure to have read your own.
