I heard from my friends who bought the rere Worlds car (including me).....all of them got problems in the gear box

- the inner slipper plate hits on the motor plate
- the 3 internal gears not smooth.....something like the gears are elliptical so that at some point the binding is too tight

anyone who had the solution ??

thanks !!

some sound advice right there

Someone with both the new case and an old case should try all stock new parts in a new case with an old top shaft to see if the top shaft is also the gear problem.

Tried 2 original top shafts today both worked great ! Me wc top shaft seems to be out of round

Good call, it makes sense that since the layshaft, idler, and diff gear spin they could be the only pieces causing a mesh problem only at certain places in the rotation. Maybe now we can now rule out the out of round topshafts as the same ones that are cut incorrectly that would help too!

seems that the top shaft is causing the trouble.....both the top shaft gear & the flat surfaces of slipper contact....
