Oh crap... I set them as I would on the Storm. But only drove 30 miles or so.
But I have to admit I am a little skeptical that significant damage will occur if the gaps are wide in the short term. Sure, there is a performance thing, but I can assure you, these "wide gaps" do NOT reduce performance significantly! This motor is fun.
