Also, R.C, if you are reading this, there was a slight error in the instuction manual. A 1/32" spacer is explicitly stated to be a 1/16" spacer in the instuctions. Not sure if that's our problem or something wrong with the manual.
Assembly should take around 20-30 minutes a gearbox, we used 4 3 CIM WCD gearboxes this year.

I'm not a fan of the spring wave either, it'll be replaced out to a solid washer in the future here soon...

I'll take a look and your more than welcome to email me here. Please email me what gearbox you were using and which manual etc.. That way we can take care of the typo.

Thanks
