Ok my sons Senton was chewing spur and pinion at the speed of light , so he finnaly decided to go velcro when he discovered your amazing site, ok that problem of dirt ingestion is fixed.
Here is the problem , he went to his LHS to buy a spur 57T like the original but steel. The guys sold him a 14T steel pinion . So he realised that on his motor mount his choice are 13 or 15 , no 14 hole ... so he mounted the pinion on the 13 ... then tried is truck .... mesh was kind of tight since the truck was not free wheeling at all , as soon he released the throttle as soon the truck stopped . instead of ruining his new and expensive gearing he decided to stop and wait for tuesday in the meantime he sent me this picture
If you look at the picture he sent me the pinion teeth seems a bit big and seems like binding when engaging what do you think
in the meantime would it be a good idea to slightly open the 13 mounting hole a bit to allow a bit of play allowing the pinion to back off a bit ?
Finnaly is the motor mount the same on the Granite blx 4x4 V3 , I haven't opened mine yet but I think arrma changed for a slotted mount giving more latitude for pinion adjustment am I right ?
Anyway he is getting tired of his senton, he spent a good chunk of money on susp, upgrade , esc fan , numerous spur and pinion, tires esc etc etc every outing something break , often by his fault I think lol ... but he hit a wall this afternoon almost ready to throw everything in the garbage but the upgraded part and to start with a Granite like his dad LOL
What you take on this situation ? we open the hole or not ? or we wait to get the right pinion 13 or 15
