201 Idler Gear....

[LhOrLoGeR]

It's the same problem of Cougar SV....? Just after 10 runs and i use the ceramic grease...

[tony6187]

did the pin come out of the top shaft?or did the gear just wear out?

[DaveG28]

No way is that wear, 2 teeth gone, rest look fine, I reckon the pin must have come out!?

[tony6187]

would really like to no the reasoning behind a two piece topshaft.is it worth the problems people are having with pins coming out(refering to the couger sv aswell)

[LhOrLoGeR]

No no the pin is ok! It's a real problem if it's the same of SV

[DCM]

that is an escaping pin from the top shaft, to of caused that problem.....

If someone is building a kit as a shelfer, could i borrow the layshaft and top gear to have a one-piece one?

Surely if it was the pin falling out it would affect more than two teeth?

AE Black Grease should be used or a grease that is highly resistant to wear. AE black grease should prevent that from happening...
I think the grease got hot too fast and the gear melted...
It's also aparent we need to know what motor he ran to get it to
do that.

If it's not the pin coming out of the counter gear then it's that cheap grease...
I have some automotive gear grease that never wears out...that would also work. Get it at an autoparts store.

Hi mate, are you the same guy mentioned on RCtech as having the idler go? If not then your not alone, one went on there too. From that breakage though I'd still say it's something hitting it, not "wear" or a mould failure, either the pin or something getting into the box somehow?

If it is the pin then it can be sorted, some jb weld or even a bit of heatshrink may do it!?

Isn't me on RCtech and it's the first one when i break a gear on RC car. I think it's a failure and i hope it's a last one for everybody.

This car is fabulous on french astro and grass track

Next week i testing on clay (chalk) with no traction track on a race

ps: sorry for my english....
