Thank-you sir, for that info. One more question, You mention shims for the Tamiya gearbox, Where does one acquire the shims? Are you referring to the brass inserts that are included in the kits, or something else?

You are welcome.

When you assemble the gear box check the gear contact from gear to gear. You want 100% of the width of the gear to be in contact with gear that it is driving..so, lets say that only 80% of the gear is contacting the gear that it is driving so basically you are loosing 20% of the gears strength. I use small shim washers to make the contact 100%. Hope that all makes sense.. you are setting the side to side contact not the gear mesh.
