New Deadbolt front driveshaft question

[heli0]

Hello everyone,

Just grabbed a Deadbolt. It was the floor model and just going through it. It looks like the front driveshaft is very very close to the cross brace? (may not be called that). Is this normal?

Thanks!

I meant that the front driveshaft is very very close to 3 link member ...

Imageshack doesn't work in my region; can you try uploading it somewhere else?

Also, is it a green or orange deadbolt?

Out of curiosity, how much was it?

$299, just been put out a month or so ago - SCX10 Green Deadbolt.

Yes it is close but that is similar to my son's dingo I just pulled up some pictures. If you 4 link it from and rear in my opinion you will like the way it proforms. I have a deadbolt but it's 4 link from and rear.

Thanks @snapon boy

Is it possible to 4 link it from parts in bag?

Also, both shafts seem like they have a ever so slight bow.

Pretty sure you're caring too much about insignificant stuff on a plastic toy.

EeePee - not sure I understand your comment or angle.

Thanks for the replies!

And saying, it doesn't matter. "thumbsup"

Mine was rubbing the three link, so I four linked it and solved the problem.

Yes and bowing often means its time to upgrade to metal links, especially rear lower if you're hill climbing.

Yes all the parts to do the 4 link set up were in the bag. I used a few loose screws in mine maby 3 at most. Let me justify that my assistant is 4 year old and we loose stuff daddy working on/with.
