Crap! I just stripped the plastic threads on the front gear box! I guess I need to make my alloy & CF front gear box fast because I don't want to open my other NIB front gear boxes.
Welshy, I might be able to make a front gear box that is 3mm higher where it mounts the upper deck, just for you. BTW, to look nice on your centre upper deck mount, I recommend 3 anodized blue aluminum shafts that have threads on both sides which are 3mm longer than the original height that you want. Those 2 items plus the alloy rear upper deck mount, you won't be needing the 3mm spacers anymore.

Sounds interesting, dont forget the diff has to be in the same palce as the original as any higher and youll loose the droop on the front ens so I am guessing the mounts will be raised.
By the way the gearbox you broke the thread on, was it top two holes or the bottom two holes or the chassis Holes.
If top two holes I found the thinnest threadlocked nuts and put between the top deck and gearbox sides and is bolted on.
If chassis then I have modified my car for the chasiss holes and am now using threaded nuts to hold onto the alloy pivot block after a bit of patience and dremelling and filing.
If bottom two front holes that the shock tower goes into then you can get a fractionally thicker screw from Kyosho and does the job well.
