I had to heat the gear on the motor with a heat gun and press it further onto the shaft. Bob, from ETO armor, included 3 sets of different size gears to replace the factory gears on the motors but you need an "English" allen wrench for the set screws. They are not U.S. or metric. It's a good thing my mechanic used to own a B.S.A motorcycle. He just happen to have one correct size.The ETO Armor Gear Reduction kit is NOT made by Schumo.The R/C equipment is roughly the same layout as the regular King Tiger, the turret needs to have the various mounts added for a power switch and battle unit.Traverse is modified to accept the Porsche turret.Scott added a relay so the tank can be charged through the hatch without disassembling the tank. This set up may be a standard DAK feature.The workable escape hatch is a nice touch.A few Porsche Turret King Tigers had the standard 2 piece barrels but a single piece 88mm gun was the most common. The mantlet has been widened to accomadate and ETO armor barrel.The Schumo kit includes a spacer to pull the motor into alignment with the first stage gear. The Kit ETO sells does not include a spacer.King Tiger is put to the stuffed bear test. No stuffed bear can handle the fury of the KT.
