I have noticed after extended operation, especially in high gear, the aluminum tubing provided as spacers for the helical gears is worn down. I have been shimming it with steel washers as a temporary fix, but we are trying to find some steel tubing with 5/8" interior diameter to replace the spacers at competition. Does anyone know where some can be bought, and if so I advise teams using the same tubing in their drivetrain to either make sure both there shafts and gears are securely pinned, or replace the aluminum tube spacers.
