May I ask how many shims you had and where? When I check for free play between the gears, the mesh seems night and tight. I should mention that I'm using the plastic reinforced ones right off the bat, though.

This is really concerning me. After all these days and days spent on trying to get these gear boxes perfect, I may still strip the gears in a few race days?

How long are the dampers on this car?
Wondering if my Dampers will fit on it.

Two quick updates:
1. The 74T spur I recommended may be a tad too small for VTA, depending on the FDR you're after. I think a 76T or a 78T may be the sweet spot after all, but ARC has those too. With the 74T and a 50T pinion, the motor is almost maxed out on the closer-to-the-spur side of the motor holes.
2. The kit 44mm DCJ shafts are too long for a gear diff up front. The spool has deeper cups than the gear diff. I have 42mm shafts on order now, I hope those will fit properly.
3. After all this work my car only free-spins for about 6 seconds. Oh well. It's nowhere close to an Awesomatix, but I think it'll be good enough for 25.5 club racing.

Oh, so you're talking about the miter gears between the spur and the shaft? Ok, yeah, I have the aluminum ones and they feel pretty solid. I thought you meant you stripped the gears inside the transmission cases, that's what I'm somewhat worried about.

About the shims I added in, I did follow the instruction and I didn't find any binding of the drive chain so far.
I have the impression that the quality/durability of the gears that Evo 6 comes with can stand for the loading for 13.5T blinky, perhaps would be the best for 17.5T or even 21.5T but not up to vigorous loading from 13.5Tboost, not to mention modified class too!
