I'll be ording a belt kit!

[hysinthius]

When I got this thing I checked every bolt and screw...or so I thought!


We were racing around a field and I heard a pop and some grinding....


Opened her up and the drive gear nut loosened up. I never put locktite on it due to being a poly-lock nut. Of however many teeth it did have there is only 3 on the drive gear and about 8 on on the secondary gear!


I'll be ordering a gear drive this Friday I guess.


I don't think I'm that hard on it, but I break the damn thing every time I take it out. In 6 months everything should either upgraded or replaced...lol.

The xt/xb gears for some reason strip easy. do u have a plastic gear plate?

 

[hysinthius]

ya its plastic.

ill be getting a metal one next. im going back and forth if i want a 2 speed kit or the belt drive. thinking be belt drive as the terrain i drive is mostly rough and dirty.

 

[hysinthius]

RCDAD, will you have these in stock friday?

MT gear plate is the way to go for gears. no flex, no gear jumps. and oversized bearings. definitely THE first thing to switch out, never even ran the plastic one.

 

[hysinthius]

Ir I get the belt drive doesn't that come with a new Metal gear plate from 7075 rc?

Mine works just as well and it comes with all the bearings so in the long run it is a better deal, weighs less too.

 

[andyken]

usually stripped gears is a bearing failure or something binding, mine...the set screw on the brake lay shaft backed out.

It is going to be a few more months before production is complete.

 

[hysinthius]

guess ill be ordering Ol'farts plate and replacing the gears with stock then.

JD

 

[hysinthius]

should I stick with stock gearing?

I Had all strip at once on glass smooth asphalt at 46mph ...found that the nylon on the nuts her hot and soft and work their way loose and all hell breaks loose. This is the third time to replace all the gears.

I hate spell check....... All it does is .....

Haha lmfao....best quote today....

 

[BertR]

Lol. I could have edit the post but I figured what the hell..you get the point and let's roll with it!

 

[Ildy666]

Like when the Germans bombed pearl harbor....

 

[hysinthius]

ripping down the road is when mine went as well. I wonder if putting a standard nut on with a locktite and star crush washer would be a better option...besides just doing away with it all together.

[Silent_chaos]

Same thing happened here.

 

[hysinthius]
