Re: Why is the kitchasis bowing in horribly

Ya, something like that happened to ours. We built a prototype and whenever we ran it, besides it making the noise, we also found loose nuts and bolts, and so we tightened everything and then afterwards, the noise stopped. The top panel on the gearboxes might be warped because of the way you mounted it onto the two gearboxes. Probably just tightening everything might fix it.
