hehehe... just wondering coz it didn't have it before the gearplate upgrade :) anyways :D
Maybe you have a better mesh now?

My plastic gears lasted exactly 4 minutes so you're doing well.

I thought the Bajer was based on a longer MT Chassis? That is what NitroRCX sells it as.
The one other difference I've found is the air filter is the 2 stage Baja one

There is a shorter wheelbase HSP also called a Bajer which is also 4wd but available in 2wd too

Maybe that's the one you re thinking of

It comes as 26cc whereas the longer one is 30.5

I swappedout my 30.5 for a 29cc 4 bolt Zenoah

Shorter W/B?

Maybe they copied HPI's wheelbase length...

The clutch should last a lot longer than that. Are you sure the clutch is the problem?

Hi guys,Recently I got and installed my new Aluminum gear plate and it fits well with no trimiming or anything and it looks great too!

Anyway, after I have completed installing the gears and meshing them properly I got a new sound out of it, a whining sound.

I still have the stock plastic gears so I suspect that is is coming from the bevel and pinion form shaft C, but I am pretty sure I meshed them properly :)

here is a short clip of the whining sound:

How did you properly mesh the gears when you have no adjustments to work with..as for the noise you hear it ma be from the lay shaft is too tight.

Most likely the set screws on the gear square has come loose
