I see. I run +0.002" on my boxes, but I've been thinking about moving to +0.001". Gears are supposed to account for MFG tolerances anyway, but I don't know how much room the WCP and Vex gears allot for that.
Come to think of it, now that I have a mill, I can make as many gearboxes as I want... I might try a few different configurations then and see what happens.
