Got a project on. Started out with a mint Blazing Star DF01 and tonight I installed the gearboxes onto a Fibre Lyte carbon chassis lower deck. I got the proper Top Force parts bag with the chassis deck mounting and the upgraded stainless prop shaft. Only problem is that it appears to be about 10mm too short when I try to install it with the carbon chassis. Is the fibre Lyte chassis longer wheelbase than the top force? Or are the prop shaft gearbox out drives different on the top force compared to the Blazing Star/Manta Ray/regular DF01? Can't understand why it wouldn't fit. I am on holiday with only the parts to build the car so I don't have the original coat hanger shaft to compare it with. Any suggestions?

After buying a Top Force ReRe last month all sorts of Real Life things happened so it had to go back unopened for a full refund. Modelsport were ace about this by the way. Good lads. Been browsing ebay for a DF01 and watching them go for silly money and placed a bid on a nice looking thing and left it. Turns out I won it for a vaguely sensible price and it turned up today I know this definitely counts as a First World Problem, but it's just TOO nice. I bash my cars up, and run them on gravel. I have an idea of getting some Top Force decks and putting some other bits and pieces in it. I have a Terra Conqueror repro body lined up. But look at it! It's pristine! It's even got some mad Futaba 40mhz radio gear for the MSC that it came with. Properly conflicted as I wanted this as a bit of a summer project to slowly buy bits for and tinker with. I'm not into shelf queens, but this is just so mint original it seems a shame to bash it up. What to do? Advice much appreciated. Thanks team!
