Rumble gearbox

I finally finished replacing the gearboxes on Rumble the T-90. Filing his sprockets was a pain to accommodate for his new, large screws that attack the wheels and drive shafts together.
I can't help but feel some resistance on the left tracks, but some lube fixed that. I didn't put these round things (I forget what they're called) in between the sprocket and shaft assembly because it didn't want to fit.

Should I run it as is, or reassemble with them?
Also in the pictures is the lube I used that the hobby store suggested I use.ImageImageImageImageImage

Hello are those lock washers that might fit between the larger screw and the drive sprockets? I use them but if not at least add a dab of liquid thread lock on the screw tips before you sinch them down on the hubs :thumbup:

Yes, that's them. I'll add some liquid in there.
Thanks for the heads up.

Just a wee bit to keep them from loosening
