Spool/spur spacing and play?

[eddywatson]

Hey guys in this video I’ve installed the official arrma spool spacers… that to much play? I’ve not tightened the grub screw as I can show how much okay it has on it. Is that okay okay? Or to much?
Thanks

You need to put the screw thru the spur. The screw holds the spur still. The spacers keep the bearings from moving too far.

But the bearings are locked in place the spacers have no effect on them….

How are they locked? Slide them towards the spur

The shaft is stopping them. Where they are on the video is as far as they can go inwards

Probably split the difference on the play to 50/50 on each side of the gear
As long as everything fits you should be ok. If it’s to long then you might need to grind the spools length down a little bit, maybe .5mm

That doesn’t make sense. They have the same ID as the spacers and spur bore. They should slide towards the spur.

Thats the shaft and bearings
