Yeah, odd, but thats what worked for us. We also made sure that we screwed the CIM down with it pulled as far to the outside of the gearbox as possible. Its the different between having gears grinding and having ~1mm of clearance.

A caliper could solve this mystery.

Re: KoP ToughBox Mini and CIMs Problem/Solution

We had an issue with the 2013 KoP gearbox. One of the gearboxes had a gear contacting the output Hex shaft (inside the gearbox). We fixed it by filing the hex shaft down and had no further problems.

I attached an image (I think)

Could it be that the gearboxes are not always made to spec.?
