The issue (I think) is that mounting the motor concentric to the motor plate is difficult because the holes are too large to pilot the RS550's M3 bolts. Leaving the motor bolts loose ensured that we ran without binding or clicking, but resulted in a vibrating motor.

Regardless, with the spacers, installing a 550 is a breeze and everything runs smooth as butter. The VersaPlanetaries are a fantastic gearbox once you get them together! There's a reason 341 has 5 of them on our robot
We ran into the same issues. I PM'd Paul about it, and he says the runout on the RS-550 shaft is horrible, which would explain things. What does your magic spacer look like? Can you post it here or on Thingiverse?
