AndySeven Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 My XV-01 is almost finished and today I installed the electrics and performed a bind. The first thing that struck me was the noise when I gave it gas (no wheels fitted). Anyone have one of these, are they normally noisy?

qatmix Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I have a XV01. It's not very noisy at all. Disconnect your motor pinion and roll the car. It should roll freely if it doesn't then check your drive train. If it rolls well then check your motor mesh with the pinion to the spur gear. You always want a little gap between them to ensure you are not putting extra resistance on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonysmini Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 May be worth checking the belt tension, could be that they are too loose and rubbing on the covers or too tight and causing a bind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
