I hope you are checking head bolt torque after it has cooled downUpdate on page one.

Yep, always, same as nitro engines.I hope you are checking head bolt torque after it has cooled down
I have a 40T with a 203 rear disc and it's really close. I had to make an 8 mm adapter plus extra spacers for a total of 10 mm behind the disc mounting flange to move the sprocket towards the wheel and shim the disc out until it is about 1/8 from the frame.I managed to get a 38 tooth sprocket to work with my 203mm rear disc brake setup. It's extremely close, like I can measure it with a feeler gauge close. I had to shim my rotor and caliper height a tad to do it.
Almost impossible to keep chainlube out of it, but here is what I do to minimise the problem.I have a 40T with a 203 rear disc and it's really close.

Also filed a bit off the bottom of the inboard housing of the caliper for a couple mm more clearance. I am concerned about keeping chain lube out of the caliper. No more chainsaw chain oil on this one. I want to have a plastic shield of some kind between the two but space is a real issue.
Use this spacer adapter...It is the same one that came with my mag wheel set up for the sprocket/rotor spacer.Stupid question but how do I stack the sprocket and Disc?
Thanks!Use this spacer adapter...It is the same one that came with my mag wheel set up for the sprocket/rotor spacer.

The hub is pretty wide, so be ready to possibly fuss with chain alignmentThanks!
I think I'm going to get the wheels GW got.
