I was close.
Im going on 4 weeks and no boat/shipment from them yet. They said it shipped and provided a tracking number. Once its outside Honk Kong Post its pretty much lost until delivered. Im get a tad bit anxious about its arrival. Im a little mad to see a Canadian got their order before me as your mail is notoriously slow...
You can check for slop if you take that drive dog out and push on the prop shaft. A very very very tiny bit is probably good. Grease will fill that.
When mine comes in (if it does?) I will double check all these things and post what I find. Since it wont be hitting the water right away (no batts or receiver).
