XRAY - Model racing cars

I have a question about the assembly of the flywheel. When you put the flywheel collar (#35 8540) in the flywheel (#35 8531), how far in is it supposed to sit into the flywheel? Flush with the top side (the side with the pins)? The problem is that even with no shims on the back side of the flywheel collar (#35 8540), it doesn't leave any threads exposed on the motor shaft to grab onto for the Flywheel nut (#35 8550). This is on a Novarossi P5X motor. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Is there any pics you can provide? It's not flush with the flywheel but kinda close. Sounds like the shaft has been cut, has it?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Let's just say it was pure stupidity on my part. It's my first nitro experience. The motor came with a collar already on it, and I was trying to put the one that came in the XB8 kit on too, so I had double collars. Man, this is almost too embarassing to admit!!! Thanks anyways.

Been there, done that..

well not quite but not too far!


Have fun with it and ask more if ya cant solve the probs.
