I know some people like to play with the teeth spread, but I stay with 6 tooth spread, and I've never had any problems using the alum pin gear. In regards to chassis flex affecting the gear mesh, you've really gotta be aiming for the wall to flex the chassis that bad, especially at that spot.

I am pretty sure that this was this issue as I have never had a problem until recently.

Will report back once its tested.

What gap are you going to set it to btw.

I never tried a spool but would liek to know if it would be better for this track ?



As for oneway, just too difficult for me at this point.

Thanks
