Adjust gear mesh so there is minimal play between 

the gears.

Too  tight  gear  mesh  will  put  excessive  strain  on  all 

parts  and  damage  the  parts.    Too  loose  gear  mesh 

may result in stripped gears.

Most popular engines have a 37.8mm distance between 

mounting holes. However some engines (for example, 

Picco) have a smaller distance (37mm).  If your engine 

has the smaller distance between mounting holes, you 

need  to  enlarge  the  mounting  holes  (for  example, 

make  each  hole  ø0.2~0.4mm  larger)  to  allow  the 

engine to fit the engine mounts properly.
