I can not get the gears to line up.

[rcgasser]

I have tried until my ears bleed why wont these gears line up?

Looks like you have the spacer on the middle gear in front of the gear .Try putting the spacer behind the gear and it should lign up.Are you missing any shims?

Here is the deal. The inner and outer gears are different.

Notice the lip on the inner gears. Those are outers for use with the 35t gear.

Here is the inner. Notice no lip by the drive square.

I don't think a spacer goes behind the gear but if I do put one behind the gear then it sticks the front gear out to fat that it will not touch the clutch bell gear.

Ok thanks dad I see what you are saying with the no lip gears every gear I have has a lip so what is the part number for the no lip gears? These are the same gears I took off of it I just changed the gear plate and the bearings.

 

[Guest]

Really???? Ok.

Try swapping the two 25t gear.

Also I just noticed the old square gears that are wider then those that come stock on the XB and not as strong they do have gears with no lip on them when I use the old style gears it will line up because they are wider but I know from past experience it will eat them up quickly.

The gear in the photo is actually a 24t.

The xb comes with 24,26 for the inners.

I'll go down to Redcat and see why those are not listed inventory.

You currently need to order a complete set to get them to line up.

So there is two styles of square drive gears.

 

[rcgasser]

Yes there are a older set of square gears which are these http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/Redcat-Parts/50116T

which says Not to be used with 07188, 07185, 07184, 07186) these are the new gears numbers which is what comes with the XB, XT the older set are wider and not as strong but they have the no lip that you are referring to.

So if I just get the belt drive will that eliminate this problem or will I need something else also to run the belt drive to make the pulleys straight?

 

[Guest]

The drive pullies are against the bearings that simple. One washer on the tension pulley spaces that. Pretty simple. Haven't seen one problem in alignment yet.

Ok thanks for all of your help then so instead of me buying something else I will just get the belt drive. Thanks once again brain I really do appreciate it.

not 100% sher but any chants you grub screws are sticking out to far to allow the gear to fully slid on to the square nut just wondering

Thanks for the help I will just buy the belt drive I wanted one anyway but I was going to wait until the diffidence belts and pulley come out but this just give me a good reason to buy one sooner.

 

[jdfoxracing69]

ok an like i side wasnt 100% sher guts trying to help but yes it dose give you a good reason an whats so good about the belt VS gears ?

Quieter, engine spools up quicker, lighter and the super cool factor and when the different belts and pulleys come in where you will be able to adjust the gearing then it will be super cool and all my cats will have one.
