have you checked the adapter it may have a moulding defect that could be causing the problem

I have made sure that the layshaft is not bent, checked the layshaft assembly with housings by itself (no spur attached) and everytime it spins true and correct. As soon as I attach a spur no matter of type, it spins in an elipitcal fashion.
I dont have a standard EC spur to try. But the only things I can think of that could be causing an issue, would be the spur gear adapter (mounting holes) or the centre pulley (as I have cut out the necessary clearance grooves for the aftermarket spurs).
Can anyone help me out??? I have spent way too many hours trying to get my spurs to spin true and correct!!!
Also, I was wondering what you guys ran as far as spurs were concerned?? (original Ec spurs or aftermarket ones)
Thanks in advance,
Leonard.

does the spur adapter have any moulding defects that you may be aware of
also antoher thing that mite be doing it is not actuallly to with the layshft it may be the motor as your racing it could be moving about this is normally the case you may find that the screw holes on the can have rounded off and the screws aernt tightning properly causing the motor to shift and shere the spur i had this with and old losi but weather it is doing the same on the ec i dnt know but it sounds like this could be the problem

As for what brand of spur gears, I like the RW gears and the PRS gears. If you're using anything other than the stock gear, make sure you notch the pulley where the screws go so that you can mount the screws in the inner holes on the adapter.
