[454chad]

hi i am a new member here.anyway i just bought steal gears for my mt v3 i tried to install them and the square hexs they fit on are not fitting in the gears is this the way they are do i have to dremel them to fit any info would be great thank you all

V3 comes with 4 pin setup gears not square hexes...

Do you have a pic of the gears?

If you have the square drive gearplate you sometimes need to file down the aluminum square so the gears slide on and off easy........

I have had several customers with this issue. There also has been a few threads on stuck gears. When you order a new steel gear set the square holes are on the small side. Filing down the squares seems to be required.

Use a bit of anti-seize, as well.

you'll just need to file the aluminum square, when you test fit make sure you don't fully insert the square into the gear unless it goes in easy. If not good luck fighting to get them out, lol
