Issue is my m03 was pretty beat up so I decided to build new. Question is, has anyone noticed the black gears are not as smooth as the white gears? In fact the bearings were not snug on he idler gear? Anyone come across this issue?

And for the record and I've been critical of Tamiya on the TCS thread for not have a spc motor designated for mclass. 2014 is going to be an expensive year for mclass racers! The first TCS race made it crystal clear
Supposedly the black gears run tight in the M-03, they are an ever so slightly different size due to the different properties of the material. However they work fine in an M-05.
