I have a lot of shimming to do on my 10 years old RC car. Only .015 off and your bearing will generate a lot of heat, and the ball will crack.
You might want to spend at least 1 hour just shimming, to make sure you get the PERFECT setup.
Also, Bearing install can be easier. If you heat up the mechbox a bit with a heatgun, the hole gets looser. You must make sure the bearing is seated perfectly because if has more chances to be wrong since there is more space.
If you have an old set of gears, you can use them to install the bearings. Place then in the hole, the the whole assembly in place and tap gently on the opposite side of the gear to set it in place. Be carefull to stay alligned, or you will damage both the mechbox and the bearing.
