Re: Turning down the OD of a gear
Quick question to the OP:
Why does this matter so much? If it's for clearance to spacers, just move the spacers. And if it's for ground clearance, forget it. You will need more ground clearance than 0.02" due to the tread wear, compression, and random stuff on the ground.

CIMs are always 2.536" outer diameter unfortunately. You could look into RS-775, but if this is for drive CIMs would work better.
