Yes a chunk is missing where each set screw was. I think it was regauged from 7.25 to 7.5 and the axle wasn’t long enough creating a wobble.

Re: Paint question

Nothing over the primer or decals. Stored in a car barn. No issues so far.

Re: RC Controller recommendation wanted

2nd vote for Stephen Wassel. Affordable, plug and play, great communication, customizable, etc.
I have 4 of his units, can be set up for MU. Works with 4QD and RMI old style electric. He’ll also set them up for other systems. LOTS of safety built in.
