Re: Binding AndyMark Toughbox transmission?

This creates a gap around the motor to transmission joint, but I can tape that and the unit runs smoothly. If that's not for you, you can try making a spacer gasket with just thick cardboard.
I've done both and they've worked perfectly. I went to the washer because... I'm Lazy... It's a gift. (If you want to find the most efficient way to do something... put your laziest person on it.)

Hope this helps

I don't think we got the Banebots gearboxes in the kit this year... just FYI....
