The pinion was set back as far on the shaft as it would go, but it turned out not to be enough...due to the 1-1.5mm of rotor-float, the rotor floated out enough to let the pinion get into the aluminum part of the slipper and literally torqued the motor forward and sideways, taking the motor-mount with it, as well as taking out the spur-gear.

A new, shorter pinion solved the issue after Mike replaced the motor-mount.

Word to the wise...Novak pinions are crap, stick with Mike's Pinions or Robinson's pinions if Mike is out of stock.
