If you are interested, just because you have the gears on right side out does not mean they are aligned, find a straight edge that will lay on both gears and look for a gap between the edge and one or both of the gears, I'm amazed how far off the alignment is on some sleds. I usually end up shimming the bottum gear to get the chain running straight.

You beat me to it. On my REV I had 2 mm difference in the alignment... blew a chain and case because of it.
