Status: offline 		I just finished installing the XTM conversion on my T and the rear axle is binding, it's like it's a couple mm to long because I took off the rear skid plate and when I turn the rear wheels you see the whole rear end push away from the tranny slightly. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone got a soulution? I wonder if I run it if the parts will wear quickly and work properly? I do have the XTM 24-7 engine in it as well. Any suggestions would be great.. Thanks

The last conversion I put toghther I had to dremel the slots past the band that goes around the cup, probably about 1/8th inch. Stack 2 or 3 cutoff wheels to make the slot longer. :

Status: offline 		Stock Gearing, I was hoping if I took it easy with it, it will last at least a little while. What gearing is best?

I was planning on replacing the broken gears with the Robinson Racing type when it's time.

Thanks
