Can anyone help? I'm building this REVO3.3 from scratch, and ran into a little issue. My filter won't fit without seriously grinding on the spur gear.
Has anyone ever had this problem??

Sorry to say but that is a sure sigh of a bend chassis in the motor mount area. And from looking at your pic it looks like you engine is kinda bent forward and down a bit. Good luck and keep us posted on what it is.

Yup, teeth marks on the slipper are a sign of either bent chassis or cracked mount.

I would look into getting a new chassis my buddy had the same problem and just bought a new one
hop that helps

Hey guys sorry for the long reply.

I checked and the frame is perfectly straight. Also, the teeth marks on the clutch were there when I got it. Remember, most of this stuff was given to me. Someone gave me the clutch, flywheel, spur gear and a few tranny internals. Those parts have never seen this frame or setup till now.

Hope this helps.

Make sure you have the proper air filter elbow some aftermarket ones have that issue The stock one has just enough room to clear and is a little tough to get on and off.

Hope that helps
