Senton Loud gears in my ARRMA Senton

[Phamous]

Hey guys, I was wondering about loud gears in my senton. It's a bit too noisy for my liking, so I opened it up, and I found nothing. The car drives normally, everything seems to be fine but that noise is driving me nuts, coz I always thing that there's a issue waiting for me. The gears are almost as loud as the ones in my kraton 6s. Sure the sound is different.

Video of the sound? They all make noise, just a matter of how much noise... if your losing a bearing in the motor it will make loads of noise

Which senton you have?? a 6S

3s

You might just be hearing the noise of the motor, spurgear and drivetrain.

It's a 3s, and unfortunately I don't have video now. Motor seems OK.

I was just wondering if it's possible that the plastic drivetrain etc, could almost be as loud as the metal one in my kraton.

 

[Camaroboy383]

Yes it can.. just a different tone.. most of what you hear will be from the motor/pinion/spur as stated above..

I think it might be not as bad as I thought.

But u know, it's really annoying to have that feeling that there's something wrong ?

 

[Camaroboy383]

Absolutely man... better safe than sorry no doubt... but it sounds like it could be completely normal.. if it still hangs in your mind that something may be wrong just toss up a video so we can confirm/help ya buddy...

The gear mesh is usually tight in 3s vehicles,and the plastic does seem to amplify it,.

My granite started making a loud drivetrain noise, ended up being a worn spur and pinion, probably from the tight factory mesh setting. I install new pinion and spur, and also drilled out he motor mount holes slightly for a looser mesh, and its runs a lot quiter now.
