rob112 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hi My Slash 2wd spur gear has been worn down by the metal pinion, did I mesh it incorrectly? Would a metal spur gear help if can find one ? TIA Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strugglecuddle7 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The traxxas spur gears are pretty hardy in my experiance! get a new 86t or 90t whichever you were running, you can use the paper method ie - sticking a bit of paper betweent the pinion and spur themn tightening it up and sliding the paper out or traxxas do a fixed gear adaptor set that doesnt let the motor move https://www.modelsport.co.uk/traxxas-fixed-gear-adapter/rc-car-products/430900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 if in doubt, buy a steel spur. i have always preferred steel over plastic in this scenario, hope this helps 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert_w164 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I guess it depends how long it lasted and whether you're running extra power... When you mesh it next time stick a piece of paper in-between it and feed it in using the gears. It shouldn't cut it, but should leave an indentation. Also rock it back and forth, there should be 1-2mm of play which you'll be able to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob112 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Wh3I could not find a metal spur so orded plastic. I think I meshed it too tight. Im running brushless lasted 20 mins I landed a jump on the rear wheels when it happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob112 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Metal 32P shaft is 5mm which is too big for my motor 15 minutes ago, rob112 said: Ps All I can find metal spur is 32P not 48P I'm running 14t 86t what would I need on 32p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 You are much better off leaving the spur plastic and setting the mesh correctly and making sure the motor doesn't move and stripping a few of those than putting in a steel spur and then messing that up and much higher cost and maybe more damage.

Ok Ty for that I'll stick with plastic and mesh it correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
