Can't offer any suggestions to your problem other than saying if you do get the kit properly installed it might not be worth the bother anyway. I installed the Ernst kit many years ago in an Athearn Hustler with less than satisfactory results. If I recall correctly, the instructions said the way to properly me***he worm on the motor to the wheel gears was by adding layers of masking tape to the inside of the body shell. When the body is installed on the chassis, these strips of tape are supposed to pu***he motor down so the gears mesh. This compresses the motor mount in the process. I tried for a while but lost interest in this flaky method. I think I later tried to add an insulated screw up through the motor mounts so I could snug down the gears. This didn't work to well either, so I set the model aside, where it still sits. Either way good luck! Bob Boudreau
