What are we looking at here? Is this the split in the floor that clamps the motor?
I would be inclined to avoid glue. As the motor is clamped, perhaps a shim on the side away from the axle will persuade the motor to engage its gears?
Hi,
Owner of Boot Lane Works here.
I’ve had this post brought to my attention.
We did reply to your email -
"Thank you for getting back in touch.
The simple answer is yes, we believe that the E6000 is suitable to use with the PLA printed parts."
I’m not sure why you are having these difficulties. It is not something others have brought to our attention. So I’m at a loss to understand why your kit would be any different.
Regards
Andrew

Sorry, I either missed or the SPAM filter intercepted your email. I appreciate your taking the time to repost here.
The kit is wonderful, and we’ve had a lot of fun. I strongly suspect that we are making a very simple mistake, that, on account of inexperience, I cannot identify.
I could back the wheels of the axles to get at the motor mount screw and make it tighter (for the benefit of others, the here are the chassis instructions: No. 5 Chassis Kit). I removed the wheels before when I originally spaced them for 32mm track. That was no easy task, as those wheels are snug! If that is what it takes, then we’re game.
Again, thanks for taking the time to reach out via this forum.
Sincerely,
Eric
Yes, that is the split. There is a screw just out of sight that snugs the split together to hold the motor in place.
