Perfect timing to get a better spur gear from Robinson Racing in 48p or 32p. I find that adjusting the gear mesh on this car requires good eyes and feel. When you tighten down the locking cam, it can shift on you so you definitely need the piece of paper trick between the pinion and spur gear, hold it tight and crank on it. Spin it to get the feel for a "free" and unbinding movement. If it still binds after a dozen or so times of adjustment, hold the car by both end, lift up your knee and slam it against your knee as if you were mad. Gently toss it on top of your bed or the couch and come back to it later.

Trust me, we do not need to get Chuck Norris involve on this one.
