Spur Gear lean

[Kodama]

Ok, it hasn't been a big problem until now. Why the hell is my spur gear kinda lopsided sort of...? If that makes any sense.

The spur gear meshes with the clutch just fine, but it wobbles on the shaft. How can I fix this?

My stock spur gear did that from day one. 2 years later, when it finally stripped, I replaced it and didn't see the wobble. It could just be a warp in the casting, but as long as you have a good mesh, it's not a problem.

I bought a metal spur cause I stripped one when my engine mounts loosened. It hits the battery housing for the servos though...

If it's something you only noticed recently, you might have bent it or racked it on a bad landing.
Just try taking it off and remounting it. It might work. It's pretty unlikely that it got bent.

I think it's from the stupid spring that goes on the shaft. They didn't make the contact for the gear on the sping totally smooth, so that's my guess. I 'fingered' it and got it as straight as possible and I'm just gonna run it that way. Thanks.

I put a piece of copper pipe the same diameter and length of the spring to take out the spring so it wouldn't lean, and I never used the slipper clutch anyway. But, now I am building a Supermaxx trans. w/ the better slipper that won't be croked as hell.
