bear. Unless you need precise positioning of a driven element, backlash
...might... not matter.

| Jerry, Precise positioning is my objective. And of course too much friction is a problem. I have'nt fooled around with this too much but, the LEGO gears, as designed, have too much backlash for my project (and as you suggest probably to keep the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
