It could be a poorly cut ring gear. I had two ring gears with that same
problem. Late 90's vintage.

As you can see, there appears to be an abrupt change in gear radius. The
change actually happens gradually, but comes to a climax at that one
spot. There was no way I could find a happy medium using motor position
as the only variable.
TIC General offered to re-cut the gears at a reasonable charge, but I
decided to go in another direction.

Good Afternoon,
Anyone know the secret to getting a Tic Ringrotor not to bind or skip?
Working on Model CX-16/22 for weeks and can't get the darn thing to rotate more than 40
degree's before it binds or the ring will not mesh in the motor?Always' too tight or too
much play and the the gear wont mesh with the ring.
