I am having install issues with my New Era Mount for the Picco .26 Max. With everything installed the clutch bell is about 1/8th inch to far forward and coming into contact with the pressure plates. I am running the 38t spur and a 16t clutch bell and an Integy 3 shoe clutch. I am at a loss. The motor set up worked with the Ofna mount but I didn't have very much adjustment so I went with the new era. Now I have adjustment, but the motor is to far forward. Argh!!!!
 
Going to a smaller spur gear helped with the clutch bell being too far forward? I was thinking of going to the stock flywheel. I think it is a little thinner then the Integy. I don't know but it is quite frustrating!

I just had the same problem and went to a 36t spur gear and have had no problems

There is no possible way this would fix the problem m00nst0ne is having.

Changing tooth count simply changes the diameter of the gear, not the width.


I had this same problem when i ran that mount.
I ended up moving the transmission forward.
Fixed the problem.
 
I was considering moving the tranny forward too. I was just a little worried about having enough room for the brakes and about the tranny shifting for some reason.
 
Everything should fit just fine.
You can even enlarge the stock holes for the transmission to make them oval shaped, just slide it forward.

its easy to do.

If i still had any of my revo's i would post detailed pictures.
But i havent owned a r/c truck in about 3 years.
 
I am going to start off by checking the difference between the stock flywheel and the Integy. From there I may try to trim down the slipper plate so I get the mesh I want without the rub. I want a chassis mod to be at the bottom of the list of things to try. I worry about taking a hit and having the chassis pivot. I was also thinking of ovalizing the holes on the chassis where the back of the motor mount (the one that is not bolted to the bulkhead) so the motor can slide back a little more.
 
Only problem with sliding the motor back is the amount of material there.
Theres not much chassis there to cut into.
The more you cut into that area you risk adding a weak/flex point.
The transmission area is pretty darn strong and beefy.
