Re: Problem with 5/8 in. shaft in this years kit

I think they are that tight for a reason - you REALLY dont want any slop in your gears on the shaft, the slightest bit of play will cause them to slam everytime you change direction, then the gears will get looser and looser over time.

something else you can try with the gears is to warm them up a bit, or to put the shaft in the freezer before you assemble it.
