is the CTC longer or shorter for the 2.20s?
I would rather run 2.20 if I can.
The pinion is bigger so the CTC is longer, but only by about 2mm.

Not sure where to put this, so will post here-
Recently acquired a set of BN adjustable plates 2nd hand but in new condition.
The 2 halves of each baseplate component do not sit flush with each other - it seems as if there is a manufacturing tolerance or other issue that causes the roadside piece to pivot on the single adjustment screw, instead of resting on the boardside piece. This causes the baseplates to wobble back and forth.
Has anyone else ever experienced this issue?
It has happened before. Easiest way to fix this is to drill out the hole on the pivoting piece ever so slightly bigger. Nominal size is 6.1mm. Something like 6.5mm would do the trick or 1/4" if you’re in the states.

You have to shim the motors so the clip does not come off
Last time this happened the clip was still in place, these motors cannot be shimmed in a useful way they have a shoulder.
A load bearing bearing would fix the issue I think, but none that I found last time will fit.
Straight cut gears should solve this for me.

Hi @Boardnamics - On the M1 geardrive, do we have any option for a non steel-steel gear? Like POM or other material?
Steel is all that is available; this is to keep the drive small. POM gears can work but they must be larger in size to compensate for the lower material strength. There is not room in the drives to put bigger plastic gears.

I am not convinced the bearings I have seen used so far are up to that task.
I think straight cuts are the only way if you don’t expect to replace motors/c-clips.

I had this problem and shimmed the motor shafts and never had an issue
