Center diff

[Newb86]

Any one notice that their spur gear/shaft running out of the center diff has about 2mm play in it in and out of the case and has a slight wobble to it. I think this is causing my gear mesh headache noticed tonight that my mesh is perfect in on spot on the spur and tight in another just seems odd to me and I'm eating through cb like mad. Is there something wrong? or a way to fix it? Or should i just contact HPI about the problem

input shaft on the 2 speed i took out has some in and out of the case but no wobble. The center shaft that drives the diffs does not move at all. Id check your bearing before i did anything else

Ya I would make sure your bearings are not blown out first!! :whhooo:

There is usually a very slight amount of wobble with plastic gears. Most of the wobble comes from how you install the spur gear.
