Oh How Original Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The spur gear also looks plastic... Plastic vs metal if either of them has the smallest amount of movement the plastic will bite the dust pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadleg Roberts Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Something wrong there if you have gone through 3 spur gears. The MT4 G3 comes with a plastic spur and really has more force going through it on account of the bigger wheels and extra weight. Mine is showing very little wear after 2 years. Metal gears are very loud. Setting the mesh correctly is vital also and is a compromise between a tiny bit of play and not too much that the teeth aren't meshing enough. Tight motor screws are essential. By the way, where are you getting your TT parts from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazp1976 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I kept having pinnys coming loose on my Trophy. I found it to be the grub screws. The ones that have a recess on the point at the end are rubbish and have little surface contact threadlock done nothing. See the recess? I use something more pointed and dremmel the end down a bit more for a large flat surface, a little threadlock and holds like a rock: You can also dremmel out the recess on the others and make flat if not too small. Worth a look. Edited February 29, 2016 by dazp1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
