The Losi 4 shoe clutch bell sticks out a lot farther then the standard clutches do. To get it to mesh with the spur I had to move the engine back. To move the engine back I had make a new engine plate otherwise the engine mount screws would hit the cross brace. You can kind of see the original position of the rear cross brace screws on the left and the new position on the right.

Thought I had more current pictures but this was after I painted the body and before I put the wing and the octane tank in.

Plastic welded the original grommet hole using an old fuel tank piece. Then used shoegoo to seal it. Used Dubro fuel fittings.

There's a small breather hole in the Octane fuel tank cap I had to seal shut.

I'll take pictures when I get home so I can upload some more. This truck has about 2 gallons through it and it is just simply amazing what it's doing.

This is as it sits right now. If you're wondering why the fuel line is off the carb inlet; If i don't drain the fuel from the tank because for the most part I run this thing every day. Why drain it if I'm going to put it back the next day. But i do this to prevent fuel from loading up in the crank case and sitting in the lines. Easiest way I saw was to remove the pressure line and attach the carb inlet side of the hose to the pressure inlet.
