I'm new ro R/C, well nitro cars anyway and i recently bough a HPI RS4 RTR3 car. Some of the screws vibrated loose and i had to unscrew the engine from the chassis to screw them back in. But ever since that i can't seem to align the fly wheel and the spur gear correctly. When i tighten the screws on the bottom of the chassis that i took out it seems as though the tighter i tighten them the harder it is to push the car. I noticed that if i put my finger on the engine and push it to the right its easier to push. If i dont tighten the screws all the way they vibrate off. I have tried thread lock. My main question is how do i get the flywheel and spur gear to flow freely while tightening the screws so that they dont vibrate off? Are there any tricks to it?

Make sure your gear mesh is aligned right. Use a piece of notebook paper folded in half between the spur and clutch bell before you tighten the engine mount screws.
