[TowerTalk] Tic Ringrotor Question

[Steve Maki]

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.

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.
