| New Guy With Build Issues - Top Shaft/Spur
Hi Guys - Well I got my kit delivered from Amain Hobbies yesterday. I started working on it last night and got as far as building the transmission and I have some issues. The top shaft/spur gear has a ton of play. It moves forward and back about 5mm. I read the instructions and rebuilt it twice with the same result. I'm 100% certain i followed the instructions to the T and used the right tube spacer. Is this normal or a defect? If the latter is true does anyone have a DIY fix to it? Are there other issues i should be aware of while building? I'll post pics when im done. Thanks in advance! |

On my kit, I substituted a longer spacer for the one the instructions say to use. I noticed that the bearing opposite the spur gear on the top shaft wouldn't stay seated when I used the spacer the instructions showed. I don't plan to use the 2 speed, so it's a non issue for me to use the longer sleeve. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk |

| Re: New Guy With Build Issues - Top Shaft/Spur If it is just a small amount of in and out play, so long as good spur to pinion contact is maintained, it is harmless. But if the spur has movement in any other direction, like I had when the bearing would not stay seated, it will cause a problem. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk |

I put a pin thru the plastic spacer to remove the in/out play
