Obsessive R/C Wrote:I was shimming the inside first (That will set the mesh) Don't set it up so tight that there is no backlash, there should be a slight amount of play with holding pressure on the bearings. Then shim the outside to take up the slack. When you put the top cover on, the shim pack should just fit into the grooves.
I'm trying to use as few shims as possible to get a good fit, because when you shimmed it, you preloaded one of the rear bearings which is why it failed so quickly.
I got the rear setup, and its using 2 less shims on the outside then the setup you had, but the gears seem to be smooth... but it wouldnt suprise me if Tex came over and said everything is wrong :blah:
