Forgot to mention this the other day. When you add a 32,34, stock or full mod motor you have to trim down one of two things, the clutch housing or the spacer that the motor sits on(y)
I went for the spacer trim on mine so that the clutch house will stil work at a later date in my losi if i have too(y)

Ummmm What ?Where did you hear that . And why didn't you tell me when I was struggling with the install of my OBR 34 . I thought I was having trouble because of my TR rear upper plate. I ended up having to buy a TR v2 clutch carrier. to fix the issue. WTF

Just picking on ya. ? I bought the OBR for HPI . I saw that video before and it didn't even register in my mind. When I was having trouble it was with the gear mesh . Honestly if I had shaved that post down or the spacer it would have made the issue even worse . . Pretty sure the OBR is a drop in motor with out needing modification to fit .

If you get one for your HPI, I would ask them if you need to mod anything. I assumed a lot of MY fitment issues were due to Rovan crap. :ROFLMAO:
