It's not the side to side play I'm talking about, the diameter of the plastic outdrives are a bit too small for the inner diameter of the large bearings (at least on my kit). I wrapped a bit of tape around the outdrives to take up the slack and 1mm shims on both sides, now its a bit better.

Also the kit 26T pinion doesn't seem to grab on to the shafts of silver can motors, as close as I can position the pinion to the motor, at most only half of the grub screw is on the flat part of the shaft, and the pinion wobbles around. (When I flip the gear over on the shaft it spins true)


Any of you guys have this problem?

Thanks


** My 64p gears fit fine, which I'll be using anyways so I guess it doesn't matter much, just though they should fit from the kit
