Default wobble after DNA dig install

just put in a new DNA dig on my axial. The whole drive train has a wobble now in forward and reverse.
Is this common or did i do something wrong. Ill get some video of it in a bit.

Shouldn't have a wobble to it,unless somethings installed wrong or something is bent.

If your not careful,when you put the out drives in the final gear it may get it in a bind and not seat right.Check your out drive shaft to the front axle and see if thats running stright.You could have a drive shaft binding,not sliding in far enough too.

The drive plate that goes onto the tranny output is not seated right. It needs to be flat & no wobble when you turn the tranny by hand.

Looks to me that the shaft isnt seated right. Almost like its warped.

I ended up taking mine apart and rebuilding it about 4 times. The last time I built it I barely tightened the transmission case screws and it was the least wobbly so far. I'm not a mechanical engineer, but you have a steel outdrive that fits extremely loosely on a shaft, supported by a loose plastic bushing, running in a rough machined shift fork; I'm amazed it doesn't wobble more.

I had one that did that, it ended up being that one of the outputs that have the three little screws on it, one was striped.It would not let the two outputs lay flat against the bottom gear and i got the wobble. Called dna and they took care of it. Hope this helps.

looks like a warped output gear. Are you running stock plastic gears or metal ones?

it looks, like the spool isn't seated all the way on one side...but feel free to shoot an email to customerservice@dna-rc.com and Sol can make sure you are working properly.
