Seriously man WTF ...
 

Right I decided after Sunday of basing in prcc with an early retirement due to my friend snapping his pull cord, to go on to some ramps with my car. It started well until I landed this one jump.
I landed and my car wouldn't move. So after going over to see the problem was that the clutch and spur gear were no linger aligned so I though oh the engine has just cone out of line so I took it off and tried to re align it.
The problem is that the screws that hold the engine down do not line up the spur and clutch gear. Infact when I put them in the clutch gear is no where near the spur gear. And when I align the clutch and spur gear the engine can't be secured because the place were the screws screw into are not even aligned with the screw holes. So I'm left scratching my head

Please help!

you have loosened the 4 screws from underneath yes?

dave ive doen everything the same as i would have done normally when i remove the engine to clean it. andf the same to align it but it doesn align with the spur gear in the slitest when its screwed in

Dave thats not the best pic of you LOL!!!!

underneath the chassis fanta, there will be 4 screws that allow you to alter the position of the engine in relation to the clutch and spur gear THIS is where the problem will be loosen them slightly re align your engine and tighten LOTS!!

can you post pics

ive done this all the time honest im not that stupid.
just they dont align enough to mesh with the two gears

ok,do you mean the engine needs to slide forward to mesh,or to slide sideways to mesh?

i assume its a hyper 7 as per the signature?
if i recall they have a slide engine mount so the engine can silde forwards but they only fit 1 way on the engine itself or the hole spacing will be too wide to fit the chassis holes.

the only other things to check is

bearings are ok in clutchbell
the center diff has not moved sideways,ie broken screws in chassis or bearings have gone.

if it was once meshed ok then it has to mesh again if nothings changed,so check the above.

ayye hyper 7 well yeah and since i went racing on sunday it was fine and then i went on a ramp as a laugh the other day and then when it landed it came out from the meshing and now it doesnt mesh like the engine needs to go forwards but the spacing where the engine mounts isnt enough to get the screws in

the engine bolts onto 2 engine mounts doesnt it
if you loosen the top 4 engine bolts a couple of turns the engine itself should slide forward on the mount,not the engine mount moving forward on the chassis

it sounds like you have one of the engine mounts slid further forward maybe than the other and it wont line up so loosen them up and try again.

Look a like
