Hi guys, I replaced the spur gear along with the pinion, (robinson racing 14t mod 1 5mm shaft) and um yea, idk if its the cheap steel that the spur gears are made of, I set the mesh correctly with a tiny bit of slop, almost no slop at all. Tightened down the adjuster bolts.
Center diff was rebuilt with shielded bearings(not sealed) I usually use sealed bearings, but they are still ok.As well as the Hot Racing center diff mount that replaces the plastic one.
Idk why tho, the spur gear mesh is kinda loose now, and the teeth are folded over in one direction, this has happened twice, maybe 3 times...
There isn't any issue with it, it just really bugs me, because this takes out the robinson racing pinion gear as well by making it wear out fast.
I love running on 6s and thats all I run. These spurs aren't cheap, they are $20 a piece... Is this just the way the stuff goes? Idk if they are even steel, maybe some sorta zinc aluminum steel alloy... Eventually about to drop more doe on this thing, (savox 1210sg HV, new batteries, voltage hobbies servo mount)
Is this a part of life with this junky spur gear? I don't understand, this spur that was brand new, has maybe 1 or two runs on it... NO flex in the motor mount area
Idk part of this feels like a waste of time since I fear the bankruptcy of hobbico...
I put a castle bec into it, 3 hot racing diff cups, new v3 chassis that happened to be factory drilled for the outcast battery tray. Outcast battery tray, Hot Racing F+R chassis braces...
Basically rebuilt the truck from the ground up... Kinda makes me feel like I'm wasting money here because of the spur
Some insight on this would be appreciated
Thanks
