The tyres (Pro-Line Dirt Hawgs) are ballooning severely leaving me with very little traction and control once the car gets up to top speed. The stock 91T spur I have is slightly off-centre and wobbles. Should I just by another one and hope that it is centred?
In the stock motor mount the smallest pinion I can mount before the gear-meshing is off is about 17T with the 87T spur in place. With the 91T spur I might be able to get a 14 or 15T in there.
Any help would be appreciated, especially if you've been in this position before.
Thanks in advance.

Use the shims to reduce the wobble. If the current one is out of true, a fresh new spur will do the job fine.
