Kraton 6s - big gap, front bulkhead/too plate?

[RCAlex]

Hey all! Looking for some thoughts on this one…. My front diff is done, input gear/sun gear (the big one on the diff) got chewed up. Maybe on a bad landing.

Anyway, look at these pics. Am I missing something? The chassis was a bit bent, but it looks all good now. I had to apply some pressure to bend the chassis to get the top plate to screw down into the bulkhead and the steering standoffs.

Check the pics… let me know.

(Sooo many issues with diffs in this rig. I upgraded the rear to EXB, ordered another EXB diff for the front.)

Oh dear. You shouldn't have bent your chassis straight. There is supposed to be a kick up at the front!

The chassis is supposed to have some kick up on the front. Did you flatten it out?

I think you over-straighten the chassis.

All 6s chassis have a "Kickup" at the front.

Pics of what it should look like :

AHHHH! Oh noes. That’s exactly what I did. I flattened it out. Ok wow. Guess I will unflatten it.

Thanks fellas!

In case you need the cheapest non bending fix

Might be the first time witnessing something of this nature for me..
