you need a bearing on the end of the shaft in the 2nd pic...

It looks like you're assembling things in the wrong order. The end of that gear shaft needs a bearing or bushing on it and you won't get the link mount mounted with everything else bolted together. The link mount needs to be screwed to the motor plate before anything else. Do that and things should fall into place nicely.

Ha, beat me to it.

You need to either grind done the screw head that attaches the motor plate to the upper link mount or countersink the hole and use a flathead screw. The RC4WD gears are wider than the stock gears and it is binding on the screw.

Also ditch the tiny bearing and use a 5x8mm bushing under the upper link mount. Either a Traxxas or Tamiya bushing will do.
