Default Re: Gearing problems

I seem to be having a problem getting a 32T- 64P pinion on my 19t motor. It appears that the motor could move forward on the motor mount, but won't since it hits the t-bar first (this is a L4 by the way). Anyone experience this problem? I'm using box stock set up and the included 100T spur. Strange thing is that the manual specs a 35T for a stock motor, and I dont see how that could fit either, did I do something wrong???
Take your motor out and use your Dremmel tool (or hand file) to grind away the back edge of the T bar until you can get the correct gear lash adjustment. If you are using the center screw where the T bar mounts to the lower motor pod plate, make sure you leave enough T bar material to allow the center screw/nut to make a secure mount. If you still do not have enough forward motor movement, then you will have to make the motor mount holes on the left side motor pod plate longer. This is a little more difficult and time consuming.
