If you're making thousands, okay, a few bad parts might slip through, but that's why you have quality sampling. And they should have caught all these problems in the initial prototype before they went and made a huge run of $3000 ctws
they have to have quality control on their production lines, so it's a pretty massive blunder if an out-of-spec gearbox made it into a finished product...

ctw? O_o
