The pins felt snug in there and the oring looked fine and didn't seem too soft so back on it went. I'm going to the hardware store and am gonna pick up some other orings. Maybe I can find some that aren't as soft? Don't find anything wrong with the current ones though.

What motor are you running, I'm running 7.5 23/78 gearing. Since using retaining compound on the pins I have had no issues. I gave the car about an hour of track time yesterday and upon inspection found one o ring destroyed but the pin well and truly in place
. transmission is really smooth too.
