If anyone is interested in a problem that was mentioned in this old thread, I have an easy fix for you...

PROBLEM: MuggyDude said his slipper was getting chewed up and he didn't know why...well, I do, because it happened to me!

Due the the "drift" that the motor-shaft has going in & out of the motor, even though it's only about 1mm or so, it's enough to cause the pinion to drift/walk forward and come in contact with the slipper...it can end badly, as mine did, but you got lucky!

FIX: All you have to do to fix this problem is to slide your pinion back on the motor-shaft about 1mm to 1.5mm, and this will completely eliminate the problem!

I also fixed the flex problem with my Vantage Carbon-Fiber Chassis completely by simply making a 2mm Carbon-Fiber brace just like the Aluminum brace that comes with the Aluminum Chassis and mounts under the chassis/engine/motor-mount...no more flex at all!
