Can someone who is building a new serpent e buggy please measure the 8x19x6 pinion bearing with a caliper and tell me what they get for a measurement on the width. I am measuring the avid bearings at 5.93-5.95 depending on if I use the tip or the middle of the caliper.

I am swapping the v3 pinion setup into the nitro buggy and with 3 shims behind the pinion in the front it's so tight it barely turns. I took a shim out and it's better more like what I remember when I built the e bug. Thanks.
