CIM Shaft Spacers

meastman · #1 18-01-2010, 18:34

The spacers that came with the kit for putting the sprocket on the toughbox shaft do not fit with the key. Have any other teams had this problem? I guess that we'll just cut down the spacers so that they will fit.

My team just ground down the end of the key about a 1/16 of an inch. If you cut the spacer the sprocket will wiggle, I'd cut the key instead. The key doesn't have to be the full length of the sprocket, just as long as its pretty close.
