Re: Gearbox not turning properly

So after talking to Akash Rastogi and reading RC's replys, we were able to figure out that there were three problems.
1) The mounting holes for the CIMs were too close together. This caused them to come out at a slight angle. One plate-change later, that was good to go.

2) We over tightened the rest of the gearbox casing, causing a bit more friction to be put on the gears, causing it to turn slightly slower than the other one.

3) Yes, the nubs were the wrong way, that is all fixed.

Thanks for all of the help!
