Ya might want to take it apart and make sure one of the gears does not have a bad tooth... mine was HARD to turn by hand and not smooth at all... I could still turn it by hand full revolutions... after half a dozen packs the trans and diffs smoothed right up.

|  Proper Motor setting
Can anyone tell me the proper way to seat the motor to the tranny ? Someone told me to stick a peiece of paper between them and tighten it down and then remove the paper .... any truth to this ? Is there a better way to do it since they dont give you a whole lot of extra room to play with ?

The gears will break in true but make sure there isnt some plastic stub or flashing thats in the way. Those gears are very well molded parts and there should not be any hang ups. Tight but smooth with almost zero backlash is the right build result. Make sure you installed the red spacers too. Use a medium grease and thats all it takes. To set the pinion gear your looking for a tiny bit of backlash between the gears. How much is tough to define but lets say you should see daylight but barely, remember paper thick and actually receipt paper thick is best not notebook paper...lol You will "feel" the gear play and see it as you slide the motor over and keep the screws slightly tight to keep and more true alignment as you adjust things. Then just cinch down a screw and keep checking until the screws are tight. Use a dab of blue thread lock on the motor screw holes and the pinion gear first! Chris |
