I had the same issue. It just a tight fit with the different tolerances. I wiggled the 2 halves to try and line it up as best I could then used a channel lock to slowly squeeze to parts together. It will snap right in. then you can screw it toghether. Also put a rag over the chassis to not scratch it with the channels.
The 12mm screws is what I was thinking and it's also what someone at Exotek suggested. I think I'll go this route, though it means I need to order 12mm screws :-(

I'm putting in my Exotek chassis and when I put the stock 14mm screws back into the chassis to connect the front and rear portions of the car I cannot get the screw in all the way. It still has a couple mm to go. I am positive I am putting in the 14mm screws. Perhaps the holes are not tapped all the way. I feel that if I try any harder I could break the screw.
Has anyone else encountered this?
I would provide a picture, but I don't have enough posts to do so.

People like you see two pages of critiques towards a new item and they brand the entire thread "negative". Take a Hike.
We're here because we love our truck, but guess what? We're not RC CAR ACTION either. We have brains of our own and opinions on new items. Not everything is going to be sunshine and rainbows. Please.
For The Record: As you plainly fail to read, we've all commended it for creativity and some are excited about it, but reserved about a new item complicating an already somewhat complicated slipper... HMMM.

Truck is back up 100% and ready for some more practice! (now I gotta work on a major lack of steering in my SC10FT)

I think you're going to get votes from each style. I run the B44 with no issues for esc clearance. I run esc on the slipper side and the rx on motor side and it all feels balanced. My friend runs the exotek style down the center. We each like our own setups.
Thanks, I really like the reflex racing one. I am a little worried that it uses regular screws instead of thumb screws, don't want to strip one of those. What are the part # for the B44 conversion?
Maybe I did not explain it well enough; it is meant to tease a little with more info to come when we have it.
It is another option for putting power down where you need when you need it. Not for every person's driving style or needs. Just like everything else we have available to us. I personally have tried many different ways to make a more adjustable front clicker set up. Each failed due to my limited equipment. So I personally would like to try the V2 design and want to drive an adjustable front slipper to see how that will work for my track needs.
I also want to try a V2 center diff because that sounds like a great idea too. I am not going to dismiss the design just because I don't know how RCShox is making it happen or how it will help me on NW tracks yet.
The Losi XX4 has an adjustable clicker and it works so well Losi is back drving it again.
Remember the Hydra drive. Worked great some tracks and just extra weight on others.
