So in haste I screwed the front a block into the front diff case without the bumper in place.
It pushed through and damaged the bottom lid screw hole of the diff case.

I had ordered two, so built now with the other unit.

I'm assuming this isn't super crucial and a bit of glue when I come to use it next time will be OK?

Rush rush, measure twice cut once.

Yes, CA or E6000 should hold in place for now, but I would replace the part for peace of mind regardless.

Yeah not sure how easy it is in the uk. Postage would eat into most of the savings. They have a place in EU to mail to but still expensive.
E6000? I use ca to glue tyres.
 
They have an address to ship to Greece which should be reasonable, you can always stock pile all of your parts and then send a large order of parts to make shipping costs more reasonable ;)

E6000 is the same as ShoeGoe or any tolulene based solvent that is a clear flexible rubber based glue, CA tend to be brittle and will be more likely to lose the screw where E6000 will hold it better.
 
Offering up the part to the chassis, I think tbh the bottom lid would stay firmly in place with out the screw. The sides of the lid (length wise) would sit tight against the chassis and wouldn't be moving anywhere by the looks of it.

I'm not using this one, but when I do I'll be sure to put a dap of shoo goo in the hole and and screw in just to give it a bit of extra strength.

I use it to grease the ring and pinion after being assembled. This way you can have it all closed up and shimmed just right without grease interfering. Once its how you want it you can add the grease and close it up.

Are you answering another question?
 
I'm struggling to see why this panel is there, why is panel removable in the first place? You can get into gearbox from the front and rear with just 6 screws.

Why have this access panel that is only accessible when it's actually off the chassis?
 
Check out my mysterious answer on post#6 to your question of the future!

I knew I wasn't crazy just telepathic!
Do you know the lottery numbers, for the UK national lottery or euro millions?

OK that makes sense I guess during a build. I will say I've don't needed to shim either gearboxes, all nice and tight, although I guess once I get some laps in it might loosen up.

So I think I'm worrying about nothing and the damage I've done to the part, whilst not superficial, isn't going to make a world of difference once all mounted to the chassis. One screw will be in, and the plate is pushed against the chassis so it ain't moving.

Cant believe I busted a gear box already. I'm getting better though at lining up jumps and controlling in the air.

The buggy does like to dip quite a bit (I say that but have no clue what is normal) , other than giving a bit of acceleration to nose up, is there some adjustments I should look at?

The angle of the car in the air is dependent on a lot of things, the face of the jump can dictate it, ride height can change the angle your cars goes through the air, throttle control while taking off and landing will correct your projection 90+% of the time. Also the weight bias will affect. Sometimes small adjustments by moving the battery forward or in your case back make big differences. But if you are running the 2.0 I dont think there is much room for adjusting the battery.

7, 22, 36, 44, 52 don't forget where you got the numbers!

The panel is there so that if you were to remove the front or rear clip for maintenance, your ring and pinion would be protected from dust, dirt, etc.
