all the shineyness 
now ive only just plugged her in tonight after having some minor bootup issues with the old MMM V4 after 3 years in storage but DAYUM these 32p gears are noisy!
is this pretty much what i'll have to put up with? any suggestions on an acurate way to set the mesh?
im a fitter/machinist so ive set it to the best of my ability but its still loud as hell.
already fried a 46t due to new-car-troubles with the pinion coming lose 
really keen to get back to the track once the new rig is running!

The larger the teeth, the noisier the mesh- mod1.0 will only be worse vs 32p / mod0.8
As for setting the mesh, I always eyeball the gap- there should just be a tiny bit of play between the pinion & spur allowing the spur to rock back & forth a tiny amount. You can always use the paper trick ( feed inbetween gears, mesh together, tighten motor screws, remove paper ) as well, just make sure the gap/mesh is consistent by rotating the spur fully, checking for tight or loose spots as it rotates.
