I tried it with the plastic housing, and a Hot Racing aluminum one, as well as with no shims, and got the same result.
Contacted Amain and Losi, and they would do nothing without me jumping through all kinds of hoops. Not the way to take care of your customers. I have spent thousands with Amain.
I haven't bought anything from Amain since, and will never buy another Losi. And I'm sure as hell not spending another $40 for new ring and pinion !!! Is nobody accountable for this over-priced junk anymore ?
I loved my original Kyosho Outlaw Ultima, which is why I went with the SC10 when I first came back to RC, but a 4x4 has always been on my wishlist... enter the $250 Losi Rock Rey kit! The price alone to me was CRAZY, but the size (nearly 1/8 scale, Mod1 pitch gears) and aluminum hop-ups (rear link mount, front adj. camber/steering links/rods, metal servo horn inserts to avoid the RTR stripping problem), $40-$50 value thrown in vs the RTR plastic parts they replace, make this the best value i could find by a mile.
I loved the challenge in the build and very different capabilities and style. Yes, servicing can be a pain, so just make sure you're completely set with the internals i.e. steering servo alignment, ESC mount, receiver, etc, and you'll be able to reduce that. Then again, because I miffed a few things up-front and have had to take it apart, i've gotten the process down to about 12-14 screws, and don't need to remove the lexan body panels, just the cage.
Also - regarding any cornering issues (still better in the turns than the competition), be sure to tape your stock tires to lessen ballooning and tire roll. Also, i decided to use the alternative shock mounting holes yesterday, allowing the rear to squat a bit more, lowering the center of gravity a bit and really making a difference. If you plan to do some serious rock crawling, i'd move it back to the stock geometry, which is an easy adjustment.
Highly recommended, extremely versatile beast of a truck!
PS I went with the Castle Mamba Monster X ESC + 1406-2850KV Brushless/Sensored Crawler combo, and it just flies. tons of torque, great low-end crawling and top-end speed. Next installs will be Hot Racing's front sway bars and front shock tower brace. Speaking of the shocks, i know some balk at the plastic/nylon bodies and feel they don't provide ample dampening. Perhaps this will be the case with lower profile / sidewall tires, but for now, they seem to work very well with the stock tires.
