[Drake] "stick / slip"

[K6JEK]

That is the magic website.   I'd been told there was  no fix for the  
swollen plastic gear problem on my R4C.   But Neil figured out how  
and produced this terrific step by step with pictures.

This isn't something you're going to fix in a few minutes.   Be  
prepared to spend an afternoon on it.   But it will work.
