I got a huge tub of molly grease for cheap as chips as I think you get no where near enough in the kit.  |
Well the tight spot has gone but I've chipped the tops off 2 teeth and it wasn't due to plastic side pods.
It was either caused by the 2mm grub screw on the centre shaft working slightly loose causing the pinion gear moving backwards and forwards.
The second option is I was racing outdoors and the board for the loop wasn't pegged down so I didn't notice and hit it full speed and the cars stopped instantly.
Either way both my fault.
Still runs fine but slighly noisy from the front and it doesn't jump teeth so I'll change it later.
