RE: Associated RC8Te Official Thread
It didn't seem right to me at the time so I pulled it back apart and reassembled just to make sure I had done it right and it is installed just like the manual indicates. If I don't install the shims between the center diff and center diff riser there is not enought clearance between the motor and the chassis floor to get a sheet of paper between them much less the motor pad. The part on the motor that is hitting the chassis are the ribs on the motor case. Oh well, I'm going to go back once more and make sure I'm not having a head space timing error. In any case I can't see where the shims will have any negative "mechnical" impact but they do have a negative "mental" impact when they collide with my OCD.
Thanks for the response and take care.
