Re: How to shim your AEG
Great tutorial! As he points out, the main goals of shimming are to minimize rubbing/scraping of gears against other components, and to prevent the axles from sliding up and down in the bushings or bearings. One that he forgot to add is that you also want to maximize the contact surface area of the teeth themselves.
