RC10 worlds build spur too close to motor plate?

[Bigbaddave]

Hi all,

Probably me being thick but building the worlds car gearbox and the slipper/spur assembly scrapes slightly on the motor plate or sounds like it does?

Also its that close i presume only flat face profile motors can be used?

Looks like it need a spacer of some sort to me

Cheers

The flats on the layshaft have been machined too far down the shaft, so the slipper plate is supported in the wrong place, there is stuff about it on the American forums. When I built mine I have a spare b4 layshaft kicking about so I swapped it for that but I would think if you contact CML they should replace it for you FOC as its a fault in the kit and not you have done something wrong.

I had the same with my kit. Emailed CML and they replaced FOC within a day or two. Can't fault them!

my bro just sent his back and they have replaced the layshaft which is great.... however there does seem to be alot of play with the spur, movement with the bearings etc, not put a motor on it yet but just a bit concerned that it will effect the meshing of pinion/spur leading to possible stripping..... anyone had this kind of issue?
