Yup just back the screw out almost all the way grab the nut with pliers and just give the motor a little push down should be able to get the nut on there then

In the bag with your decals in it there's a small bag ( maybe 3" X 4") with a folded up white paper (directions) and 2 spacers. They look like O rings.Those are used to fix that problem.

found it, ill give it a try in the am, thanks

its still rubbing but will do

Ditch that second brace, it isn't needed unless you run the battery in the front which is less than optimal.

Bad design by Axial If your running the battery in the stock location, I took my dremel and just trimmed the crossmember until it cleared the servo arm. Or like the guy above said, relocate the battery and eliminate the the crossmember all together.

No, you don't want it in the rear, either. Look closely at the above pic. His battery is in the front, custom mounted behind the shock towers. The other "good" option is twin batteries mounted on top of the slider mounts.

ok ill pull the brace and move the battery to the rear. thanks again for all your help

Billj can you give me a better ideal on how you have the battery mounted

just a update about the motor hitting one of the upper link screw, i ended up taking some of the lexan that was left over from cutting out the body and made a shim using two pieces of it and put between the trans and plate that it sits on
