Flywheel sitting too far forward

[JessF]

Just I just put together my Hyper 9 2.0. I bought the picco boost .21 engine which came with a brass collet installed. The hyper 9 kit came with the flywheel and another brass collet which appeared to be identical to the one already installed on the engine.

when I installed the flywheel on the engine using the engine's own collet, the flywheel seems to be sitting too far forward. It became more apparent when I installed the clutch bell and fixed the engine to the chassis.

at the moment, the blutchbell and spur gear mesh nicely, with the spur sits at the very edge of the rear of the clutch bell gear.

is there any cause for concern?

I don't see a problem. It's not rubbing the the bell, and you're over 90% of tooth engagement. I'd just run it,my STS engine in my Savage is about the same as that one.

Nice lines - I like it! I'm not much for painting myself,so I can appreciate when someone does some good work :thumbup:

Painting shells is like eating potato chips, you can't do just one. Keep up the good work.

That paint scheme has a cool, vintage look to it. Nice.

I'd just finished this 9 month long build for a contest and as soon as I was done I jumped on the oportunity to paint this shell
