Finally Event 3:

Bangers Ford P68 seemed uncharacteristically off pace as his cars tend to fly around here.  Investigation after showed that one tyre is rubbing (albeit lightly) on the redundant motor shaft.  The other tyre is also contacting the pinion and the body.  I guess this could be resolved by cutting the redundant motor shaft off one side, and pushing the pinion on further on the other.  From what I can see, the rear wheel is already as close as it can get to the spur gear, so the only way to limit the tyre on the body will be to reduce body and/or pod float, or to shave the tyre a little.  Either way, I'm leaving it for now until I'm told otherwise...

Ade,
I wouldn't worry about it. The tyres have possibly swelled a bit as the oil has soaked into them. They'll probably wear down, with use.
