Hey there my friend.. how goes it in SD?
I consider my drive line very free with zero drag. I built the car with the shims suggested in manual. I have now raced the car in more than 10 races and the original plastic gears are still in amazing shape.
I believe it partly has to do with the lube I use. I use a cycling product by Finishline called Ceramic Wax Lube. It forms a thin layer bond on the gears and keeps dirt off the gears. I use this on the ring and pinion gears, as well as mitre gears.
