So I've had my 3s Typhoon for roughly 4 weeks, and so far I've been through 3 sets of pinion/spur gears. I would estimate each lasted around 5-6 battery packs.
I've drilled out the motor mount holes as I thought the first time was from not enough clearance between the gears.
I am running it in dusty conditions and maybe some dust is making its way into the gearbox but there hasn't been an obvious amount in there. Just fine particles of plastic teeth. Why they left the hole in the bottom is beyond me.
The next step is to go the expensive metal gear route. It is just a shame that everything else on this buggy has been flawless.
Any ideas?
