At that point. you add one more washer. That's it. I'd show a pic, but I JUST put my truck back together 20 minutes ago. =D
Edit: $^$# It. I'll take a picture to show all of this. For you guys who are having trouble and are hesitant on more money.
I totally see what you mean now. Ya since I already drilled the shaft it is to late. But another I can still try on a spare shaft. Thanks for clearing this up. I do believe most people don't realize the washer goes behind the first plate but yet in front like how I had it. This may help others out there that can't afford the basket.
Also I wanted to know much tension does everyone have on there belt. I read some say loose while others a little tight. The way I check is rolling the truck on the ground. If it goes at least 5 feet with a slight push I call it good. It's hard to tell if there's to much or not enough. This to me could create a ton of drag which would affect the motor, esc, and batteries.
