I installed the metallic gears and everything seems perfect. Though I dont know is it me, tank seems to go much faster with these gears to my surprise. Btw, thanks for all your support. This forum is probably the most helpful among all forums of any kind that I know. Really thanks for your patient suggestions.

However I have this minor problem. When turret is rotating to one side I hear the normal servo sound, but when rotating to other I hear a bit more bassy one. What can possibly be the problem? Maybe a cable touching the gear teeth but then I assume I'd hear that sound when rotating both sides. There are no hindrances in rotation btw.

I started to experience steering problems again, but i think i got the problem.

One of my idler wheel is not turning due to its stiff connection. Is there a way to somewhat loosen that idler wheel?
