Shaygetz,
a adwise from me according to K's loco kits. I have seen the pre owner has replaced the original motor with an Mabuchi 030-Type.
The biggest bugbear with K's drive is the worm wheel. This has always an eccentric bore and for this reason a very bad and also variing gear mesh. Models equipped with this original worm gear will run eccentric also. If this white spoked original worm gear is still fitted, the best way is to replace it with an suitable module 0.4 gear.
P.O.:

I hope your model will run at the end of the challenge like the protype:
