I feel like an idiot

Got new clutch shoes for my Mutilator, got my driveshafts, and my chassis braces. Put everything together, rolled it on the ground, and it kept binding up.

Picked up the rear, front rolled fine, picked up the front, rear rolled fine. Figured it had to be the center diff, pulled it and inspected it, nothing wrong. Well wtf? Set it back in the chassis and tried to spin it, got tight. Hah! Tried to spin the cb, that's where the bind was. Originally, I had a 13t cb, and I went back to a 15t when I put the new shoes in, with the 13t, I had an extra washer in the cb bolt, so I put it in with the 15t, not thinking. When I pulled it, it spun fine. Put everything back together, did some running, and I love it.

The Losi 454 really packs alot of punch. I put the HPI Phaltlines on, and was close to pulling the front off the ground. I think if I switched back to the dirt tires, and ran in the grass, it would. And this motor hasn't even woken up yet! I think I only have about ten tanks on it!

Lol, thanks Rolex. There's a speck of dust on one of your shelf queens, maybe you should tend to that instead of the forums.

I'm offended and saddened to see one of our fine moderators link you to that. It would have saved Rolex some of his precious time to just let you know with some bold type. Seriously though, it's usually the simplest things that cause head-scratchers. Whenever something like this comes up, go directly to the part you were last working on. It's usually the culprit.

Well, the thing is, I thought there was something I missed when the rear chassis brace and driveshaft bent. That was the last time I ran it. I was extremely relieved to find that nothing was broken, just too tight. I can't believe that I didn't check the spin of the cb before I put the motor in.

Thank you so much for the recognition. I couldn't be more proud.

Thanks for that suggestion, Matt.
