Cougar sv outer gears

[Robocop]

Hi
Built up my version2 of the cougar and gave about 1.5mm of play in the nylon gear in&out movement from the gear box is this with other cougars or just mine.
Any mods that i should know about?
Thanks

you assembled it wrong, take it apart and start again.

I wouldnt worry about it too much, as you will only have to strip it down and change the gears in 3 or 4 races time

3 packs and the gears will sound like a chainsaw...

Yeah, you built that wrong!

Grease the gears, they last a lot longer, and are quiet too.

I use white lithium grease, but Tamiya ceramic grease is good too, and Schumacher supply an 'axle grease' with the gears now.

I have raced my v1 cougar sv for 6 months every friday and have never had any problems with the gears , well apart from the layshaft pins and the initial bad mesh sound ..

you must have built it wrong
