Granite Stripping HD Input Gears

[PhYcE]

I purchased my Granite in December and since then I have stripped multiple HD input gears. I have the V3 Granite BLX. Does anyone else have this problem? Would there be something else causing this issue such as a sized bearing or something else?

Any input or thoughts would be appreciated.

Loosen the slipper

Loosen the slipper

Yes loosen your slipper. I do all the way tight and back off half a turn. I use orange thread locker. To keep it the bold from getting loose.

Slipper is a possibility, also check bearings. If it's the rear check your motor mount if it's bent. Proper slipper adjustment is full tight and loosen 1 1/2 turns, not 1/2 turn as stated above that will just cause more issues as that is way too tight.

Thank you all for your input. I'll definitely go in and adjust the slipper clutch. If it is a bearing issue would it be the ones on the HD input or would there be other bearings I should be inspecting?

Check the input bearings and also check the slipper bearings. Have you checked your diff ring gear to make sure it's not chewed up also?

can you remove the pinion and just roll the car on the ground and see if it is hard to push if so then take the car to parts and check bearings

Is this the diff ring gear you're referring to?: https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR310872

Yes sir. Usually if the input gear is chewed up the ring gear might be also.

When I was new I destroyed quite a few input gears, diffs, and slipper hubs. Takes some getting use to. Once you’re dialed in, you’ll stop breaking stuff. Well at least the drivetrain.
