Stormbringer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 has the pinion / spur gear mesh been set ok ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I very much doubt it has already warn out, I'm going with incorrect gear mesh rather than just wearing out. I'd also suggest getting some better hex drivers if your still using alan keys as they have a tendency to cause cheap screws to strip.

harry87 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 The mesh was fine had it running perfect day before charged battery he took it out the next day n started playing up, the wheels spin when driving a bit wondered if that wouldve caused any damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry87 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Yh checked it again n was all fine, is the rw racing spur the bestv1 you can get? I know the standard motor in these isnt the best so wondered if its fried that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn75 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I bought a steel spur and matching pinion from ebay never stripped again just kept breaking diffs I found you strengthen 1 part it just breaks another so I gave up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Are the diff gears meshed or damages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 In that case agree with Alex and its deeper into drive train like the diffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry87 Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Should I replace the diffs then? Or easy to service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Frosty Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 you should look to see what bits are actually buggered before replacing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Frosty Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Also, all of it is easily taken apart and put back together again just get stuck in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
