i do have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind though...

1. did you put the center diff cover on and screw it down before you sanded the gear?

(the oval looking thing that goes over the center diff.)

the reason i ask is if it's not screwed down evenly or at all yet, the mount and the mount on the other side can sometimes be mis-aligned and cause the binding. it's happend to me before i put it on.

2. you said you've re-built your roller many times, so this one might sound dumb, but sometimes i forget about it too....did you tighten the diff screws that hold on the gear in a star pattern like it says in the manual? i've done it in the wrong order before and it had rubbed against the mount too. after i re-did it the correct way, it was fine.

out of the 4 8ights i have, i've had to sand a couple of the plastic gears which is no biggie for me, but they do make a 45t steel one that does come with some of the kits.

it's weird, mine came with a plastic one, but my friend's came with the steel one. i ended up buying a steel one just for back-up, but i wonder if they may be slowly changing the kits.

i'd love to get a tekno kit, but they don't make a long shafted 23-25t pinion, so i'm sticking with the RCM mount. it's fabrication is amazing, and worth every penny imo.

OH and this kit doesnt come with mounting screws for your motor either
