I'll definitely make sure the whole things runs freely, of course, thanks!

I'm running it wrongly according to the manual, but according to the pics on Alex's FB, it's fine that way. Just flipped around.

Flipped the spur gear, it didn't put it in the centre, as I hoped, now it's quite close to the other side of the top deck and the rear belt.
But the pinion now lines up beautifully, and it clears the deck and the belt by about 0.75mm (no worse than what it was on the other side), so I reckon it's fine.

I'm going to get mine assembled this week. I'm coming off a 13 T4, anybody have a good setup for the 15 on high grip carpet yet?

Weight
Could someone please give me an idea between a standard and light weight body 190mm.
Cheers

I agree, last time i weighed (painted) bodies was 20g difference.

So the '15 arrived yesterday, along with the other package of little things I'd ordered for it. Started the assembly last night, finished up today - typical Xray goodness. Mounted the electronics and the body from the '14 on it, and it's officially ready to roll... next spring, when onroad season starts back up again. I need to move somewhere warm.

If not, there seems to be too much shoulder showing up in your picture. On my non offset pinion the spur mounting flange shows up a lot less shoulder proud of the spur than yours.
There may be a small manufacturing error there, perhaps it's worth checking the layshaft measurements. The two sides should not be equal (the side with the spur boss is longer between the boss face and the E-clip groove than the other one). The spur holder flange should be about 2mm thick. If these do not match to your layshaft, I think you might have grounds to give Xray a call.

Did you flip the whole layshaft around or just the spur (on the layshaft)?

What worked best was flipping the spur gear when assembling the layshaft (deeper side of the spur where the top of the screws are), and putting in the layshaft as described in the manual (side with the top of the screws and the composite spacer toward the motor). This is what's in my latest picture, that you quoted.
I did send an email to Xray, and they suggested simply flipping the spur gear, which I thought was odd, with the manual insisting so much on the orientation...
