Just to clarify, this mod is only good for a car that was modified to use the summit trans but not for an actual summit right?

Re: Removing the slop from a Summit trans
 

There are some concerns that the smaller tabs would break off if it was done to a Summit. I personally have not tried it, but feel it would hold up just fine. I've been running the mod in my SCX over a year now, have recently converted it to brushless and it still has given me no problems.

Ok, I haven't done the mod yet but I will post the results if I do it on my summit.

This is one of the little things that bugs me about my Summit. I may have to give it a try and see how long it holds up.

Maybe you could carefully remove the bars between half the small holes, allowing one to keep the larger tabs. There'd be a *little* slop still, but far less than the half turn it currently is. Of course, that'd weaken the gear more.
