1/12 Losi NASCAR Center Driveshaft Issues

[big420dog94550]

First off is there an easy way to put the center driveline back in the car besides just pushing it in? Second does anyone have issues keeping the ends together. Where the input gears attach to the driveshaft that little o-ring doesn't do a very good job keeping that bearing up against the spur gear or that little spacer in the front. My ends after I push it back in the car most of the time come apart as I'm installing it in to the car.... Help

I don't have the car but I have been looking at the exploded views.

It looks to me that the bearings should ride in their perspective channels in the chassis held in place by the top plate/cap.

The shaft goes through both gear sets and is held together by retaining pins.

Maybe a picture could help us see the parts instead of just the manual.

Thank you for posting the pictures!

It looks to me like you're doing everything correct. The steering setup looks interesting on that rig.

Yeah the steering is kind of weird. Its kinda loosy goosey until you put the Top Deck on and screw it down. It centers the bearings at both ends. I'm thinking about cutting it in to 3 sections though. Because I'd like to secure the front, rear and center sections individually rather than having to cover all 3 locations at the same time.0
