Re: KoP ToughBox Mini and CIMs Problem/Solution
One thing to keep in mind when assembling tough-boxes is that the hole for the CIM bore is not designed to be a pilot, as the tough-boxes are designed to use a 14T CIM Pinion. Because of this, it's possible to have a small amount of misalignment between the CIM output shaft and the true 'center' of the CIM mounting hole. I remember encountering an issue similar to this in either 2009 or 2010 and we found that it was best to not fully tighten down the CIM mounting screws until the gearbox had been checked to ensure proper rotation of everything.
