Well today marks the 4th e-mail sent to Gorilla for help with no response. I hope everything over there is OK.

I measured looked pondered the lint in my belly button and took a stab at bending the bottom rear brace. At this point the holes come closer to lining up and I can get screws into them. Im not pleased with the way they line up but its better then it was I guess.

Now this brings on 2 new issues.

First one is that now the rear drive shaft doesn't fit. It buts up end to end in the cups and binds the drivetrain.

2nd issue is the top plates are bowing. When I mount the 2 screws in the back of the top rear plate connect them in the middle with the proper length screw and nut there is a good 1/2 inch that the front top plate needs to go down to meet the froward bulk mounting holes through the shock brace. When I put the screws in and tighten them down it causes EXTREME pressure on the rear plate screws and the front plate screws causing a huge bow in the top plate assembly.

Should there be a bend in the forward top plate as well?

I have built 25-30 RCs or more in my life and this kit so far either is taxing my building abilities. Im grossly misunderstanding it or there is something wrong with this particular kit.

It frustrates me even more that there is no help at all so for from the manufacture. Dont get me wrong Im not trying to put down the company but communication is a key issue and so far there is none.

Are there any forum members out there that have built this kit and are willing to spoon feed me some help to figure out if its me or the kit that is having issues?

I would truly appreciate some one on one help and would be grateful for someone to help me see the light here.
