Dear Fabs,
I'm sorry to say this, but I have seen the gearbox of Maarten (rcpower) today (actually I bought his kit and have it here at home) .. and I'm not sure if the "CA-glue-trick" will be sufficient.
Maarten told me that he ran the kit only two battery-packs ... but the wear on the idler-shaft-holes is much important then in my own gearbox (that has been raced, trained with on more then 20 occasions), even to the point were I doubt, as I said, that I can fix it.
For me there is no doubt that the MCS is a very fine car, one of the best ... but I must admit that I'm a bit jalous on the Vega-metal-gearbox LOL
I'm sure this delivery of badly produced gearboxes must not be fun for you.
Do you have any news about another batch?
I just had this idea for fixing Maarten's gearbox: couldn't I drill a hole through the gearbox exactly on the mark were the idler-shafts should sit, .. and then put a 5mm bolt through the gearbox, acting as axle for the idler-wheel inside?
I also just wonder ... maybe Maarten ran the car on a very long stint, thus letting the engine and gearbox become too warm?
I'll ask him.
