Re: CIM-SIM Noise

Our team received two additional Toughbox kits last week from AndyMark, built them up over the weekend, and then got to testing them this evening. When we tested them, we got a grinding noise in both of the new boxes. When we opened up both boxes that the team put together, we discovered that the short shaft in both were machined incorrectly. The length is correct, but the hex length is too long (longer than spec).

We took a picture of the new shaft, and an "old" shaft that we pulled out of a "good" Toughbox, and will be contacting AndyMark tomorrow. Guessing it is a bad batch of shafts. Will pass on what we find out from AndyMark.
