I can only get about 2/3rds of the pinion and spur interfaced. Any further and the set screw isn't over the motor shaft. The design of the mount doesn't allow traditional positioning of the pinion gear.
Any suggestions? What shaft length was the mount designed to use? I think the Trackstar motor may just be shorter than Grid's engineers intended.
Thanks in advance!

We did the design around the Tekin motors but many other motors also worked. Tekin has a 18mm shaft that extends from the can.

Which pinion brand are you using? We are using the Hot Bodies 67xxx short shank pinions.
