Update:

New gears!

New parts arrived. Based on some maths, these gears will be 12.5% faster than the 18:1 stock gears. This means that with my settings at 90% ROF previously, I should take it down to 80%, and will then have a 2.5% higher ROF. EDIT: After field testing it appears the stock gears are 16:1

Ready to re-shim. During the process I discovered that I had never actually set my motor height correctly. The reason being is that the Lonex motor is a little longer (like 1/8") than the A&K motor. Even with the adjustment screw backed off fully, the alignment was out. So I removed it, and found a small washer (0.8mm ish) and it aligned it perfectly. The gearbox is of course much quieter now, and this may have contributed to the sheared teeth on the spur gear. In addition I glued down all the bearings to prevent them from working loose and interfering with the gears, which also could be a possible cause of the sheared teeth.
