no its not normal, either you need to tighten the nut more or the flywheel has too big of a collar opening.

Do you have a item listing for your volcano SV mod? I am more interested in the A-arms/dogbones/hubs and wheels. I like how wide you have your redcat sitting.

Status: offline 		Why don't you run it with the stock exhaust?? It will feel considerably different with the new pipe so you wont know what the porting did. Try it with stock exhaust then throw the pipe on it when you get it; that way you feel the difference both mods did.
