i had the same issue also...I love having the quick change on there...so I just made the flywheel opening a little bit longer on both sides. I believe there are a couple of people who have take a mm or 2 off off the top section of the quick change....havent seen it in person though.

when i got my blue box i saw the wheel wasn't as high as the losi one so i put washers under the the motor/wheel mount before i ever used it.
think i had to use slightly longer screws.
flywheel opening does NOT need to be modded.
also using losi q change.
works fine.

make sure the pices that attach to the engine is the right way. I can use my quick change on any starter box set up for a losi, no problem. make sure they are on correctly.

Read the setup section at the back of your manual. It has a lot of good explanations about shock positions and angles.

No issues here with the same setup. It's a tight fit but I am picky about my bump box lining up good so I do spend some extra time getting it dialed in.

You can slot it but that will cause the ring gear to be unbalanced. The only way I can think of is to drill it out or use a very very tiny easyout. I think either way the diff case and or ring gear will be toast. Good luck

I had this issue a while ago, I use the losi quick change mount and the ofna truggy box. Here's what I found: Make sure that you have aligned the pegs perfectly with the chassis hole. (I had to use the extra large black plastic plate on top with multiple rows) Next, and most importantly I have found, you must push down on the engine head, not the body or shock tower. Made all the difference for me. Mine now works with a well worn wheel.

ive had to push on the head, and not the body since day 1.

i have a roller and a red RTR box. too much flex in the chassis to just push down on the hood and the wing.

i really wish i could get a new bump wheel.. amain/horizon has had that damn wheel back ordered for a good 3 months now.

Will the blue box work with the roller without modding the chasis? Running the regular motor mount and losi flywheel that came with it.
