There is no more room to fit a thicker shim on the shaft and still get the SPR06 wire ring in place.

How much play should there be in the gear mesh? Is there some way to get more adjustment? Or should I not worry about it?
frankly i wouldn't worry about it. i run all of my cars w/o p10 -- indoors or out. depending upon the amount of time on the car -- swapping out the g03 might be the largest help.

any time i've tried to add shims to one side of the spool i've ended up putting excess stress and breaking spools (at03 style--- never saw issue w/ at03m-s)
