    Hi Mate
    I understand your woes, it took me several tries (read days!) with and without help to match up my g/box to the motor.

    What I ended up doing was leaving the engine mounted to the chassis and using the hoist on the g/box for easier maneuverability.

    With mine I could get the housing about 1-2" away from the motor but it would just not go in properly.

    It turned out that when I had secured the engine with ratchet straps before I removed the box one must have not been tight as the motor had rocked forward slightly so it was not completely level.

    I let the ratchet strap loose a couple of notches and it literally glided home.
    This was with no one else "Helping"

    So basically its got to be straight n level even if it looks level which mind did try adjusting the angle of the motor slightly

    Good luck

    Big thanks to Walker. He came, we tried... and didn't kick its ass lol (Watched ghost busters the other night)

    Like the other times it was close, but no go.

    Using chains - will swap for straps - will try to located rangie in better position as the ground has a small slope - will get it up on axle stands as well.

    Rangieman always welcome mate but yeah this weekend I am also racing RC off road cars lol I'd take you up on the offer any time.
