TRF 511 problem
 

Hi,

this week end i race my new 511 on carpet with very higt grip, the car is perfect but i only have a problem with the spur gear, i break two of tamiya 91 T, i don't think it normal :confused:
the sleeper wasn't locked and all is free, have you any tips ?

Did u break ur spur gear or did it melt?
I have melted a spur on my 501x because i set the slipper to loose!

I have broken a fair few spurs during 2010. It was only caused by hard braking though. One track in particular was hard on them with a 60mph straight to a 5-10mph hairpin. As you can imagine, the braking (on carpet) was fairly heavy and it stripped a few spurs. Because of this, I've bought a few delrin spurs from 3racing which should last a fair bit longer and the price is nearly the same. I have yet to find RW spurs that fit the 511, but I'm quite sure they're out there. I just havent found them yet.

I got some off ebay, search RW associated spur, as the are the same.

I think ashley caunt on here has some rw ones for sale.
personally i have never had any issues at all with the std ones. Ran a new car yesterday and that spur was sweet too, nice and quiet:D

Yes PM Andrew Caunt he had a batch made of the 91T RW ones.


I run AE 87T personally, never any problems.

i break teeth in hard breaking !

i think it's special track, very hight grip and aa lot of breaking part with a very big one, but when you are in very good round and heard a very bad noise in middle and don't finish you are not very happy :lol:

i'll looking for the rw in ebay, they are probably easier to found for me than the tamiya !

Got some RW spur gears 91T £6.50 posted Check the motor screws havent come lose, the countersunk one's thanks Andrew:thumbsup:
