@Hancock52 posted:FWIW, while I haven’t seen that particular video by Eric S., there’s been a series of threads on opening theses VL GS series engines. Probably the most comprehensive is this one by Bruk although it is of of GS1:

Ryan S. also posted pictures including of inside a GS4:

In these cases, I don’t see the same degree of tilt or angle yours has, although there appears to be some, and I’d really wonder if the screws in yours have not been installed properly or the threads have been stripped. Mine does not have that issue, and I was on the lookout for what people had noticed about the Bluetooth module being very close to the drive train.
Woah, that post by Bruk is very informative, thank you.
I believe Ryan’s post showed a picture of a GS-5 with its shell off and I’ve never seen a GS-5 with the type of slant my locomotive has, but Eric’s GS-4 looks very similar to mine. I just can’t quite put my finger on what I can adjust to fix the issue.
I put a picture of mine and Eric’s GS-4’s as a side by side photo.
Edit: Upon further inspection, it appears the board isn’t sloping down, it’s actually that the motor is angled more at a 90 degree angle rather than at a slight angle pointing downwards.
Not sure how to fix it since all the screws seem to be in the correct places and tight.
