You may remember we discussed this briefly before, as I commented on how much slop there is on the standard motor.
I assumed this "slop" was there for a purpose. Perhaps it's just bad manufacturing or overkill tolerances..
Some feedback on this would be appreicated.

Mondo,
Yes I did place both bearings in the motor. I understand what you are saying about the slop being used to manufacturing/accident tolerances, but i have a strong blue "upper deck" piece, i made and added that makes the chassis flex _MUCH_ less than stock.
The motor runs with out any noticable binding or loss
of RPM with the 2 bearings in the can and the one on the support shaft.
With the recent snow (i know April and SNOW?) i haven't run it in about 3 days, but i plan to put the motor through some more testing on the tennis courts. I'll keep you fellow X fans abreast of anything that happens.
