Everyone had a first day in RC… EVERYONE! In Episode 014 of the RC Driver “Get Into RC” video series, we are going to give you step by step instructions on how we like to set the pinion and spur gear mesh on an RC car. It's not hard and it's certainly not a task to be scared of. We’ll also give you some information of the different types of gears there are so you know what you have or the type of gear you need when you need a replacement. There will be two methods shown here, the sight and feel method for finer pitch gears and the method using a piece of paper to properly adjust the gear lash. Keep stripping gears in your RC machine? This video will make you a pro at setting your pinion and spur gear mesh!

Your videos are awesome. I am a total beginner, I am a static modeler and I decided to purchase a traxxas 4x4 brushed to begin bashing into dynamic. Your videos are helpful and comprehensive even for an Italian like me. Thanks and keep up the good work

Awesome tips. Being an automotive tech I've got tools for things like this however they don't work for small scale vehicles lol. I actually just came in from bashing on my 1/16 e revo, flipped her s few times and actually heard the gear mesh change, apparently I've got an uneven spur gear and wore it out a bit. Oh well, time to dig into the parts box and do some replacing.

Ive learned gears last longer going off of leaving no loose points at all ,, alot of times if you adjust to where theres is no binding at all its going to be too loose elsewhere on the gear i prefer looking for points where its too loose and getting it as close as possible if it causes binding elsewhere i just leave it otherwise ur stripping again off a hard launch on a 3s no loose points at all if it causes binding o well

Well you DO have to grease the actual gear but as for the shaft? I’d advise not to. If for any reason the pinion finds a way to work loose, it’ll wreak havoc on your gearbox which can be expensive depending on what kit you own. It’s one of those areas where you’d feel guilty not putting grease but it’s one where you really shouldn’t.

@taimaishu-nao1922 2 жыл бұрын
Without seeing a picture, it’s hard to say and without knowing what scale, one can only assume. A good way to find out is how close together the teeth are to each other. The further apart the teeth are from each other, the more coarse the gear. Assuming it’s 1/10 scale, it’ll likely be either 64P (fine) or 48P (coarse). May want to Google your question and see if anyone else has any info. Good luck dude.

Check the mesh on your ring gear (the one attached to your differential) and drive gear. The clicking sound could mean a bad mesh there. Being a Traxxas, you’ll be able to find the exact shim needed to fix that issue. Good luck.

@taimaishu-nao1922
@taimaishu-nao1922 2 жыл бұрын
Don’t drive it. At least not until you clean the shaft and wash and dry the pinion bore. If you’re using a pinion that’s held onto a d-shaft with a tiny grub screw, I HIGHLY recommend using some Loctite BLUE thread locker on the grub screw so that it won’t work its way loose while bashing. It’s highly important to get the color right with the thread locker or you’ll end up with a grub screw that’s permanently held in place. Remember: use only blue! There’s other colors that have less bond and can be much more easily removed but blue is the best as it will hold in place for whatever bashing you do and yet still be removed if you need it to be.

if your pinion and spur gear are fully enclosed and both metal, should you grease them? Or still too risky incase some dirt gets in there?
@taimaishu-nao1922
@taimaishu-nao1922 2 жыл бұрын
As a mechanic, the general rule of thumb is to lubricate any parts that have to move against each other. This can also apply to your question, EVEN IF you have a “sealed” gearbox! So to answer your question: yes. If not… that’s gonna be one expensive rebuild.

Watched ur video i found interesting information about the gears mesh and motor my problem my slipper Clutch keeps coming lose Now my gears are stripped and just got it out of shop 2 Days ago had to bring it Back into the THE ower had loosened the Engine so he could take it he had take out the red pole and pole under to get at slipper Clutch the problem was not the slipper Clutch was Already tight its was the gears at THE rear of the Truck they are plastic and look Cheap so my Question to you is should i get. Steel gears or Aluminum gears and tight motor so does not move and about slipper Clutch with plastic GEARS will plastic gears stripped faster then the steel 1s or Aluminum 1s And should i keep the slipper Really tight or a little bit looser i but Truck back in may stayed in the shop for 3 months Because manufactures did Not have the Right parts for and plus the Covid virus did Not help matters then when i got it back Ran Excellent for 7 days THEN slipper Clutch came lose again then back in Shop Again with stripped gears just frustrated with the Truck which is like New i don't Drive it hard do flipps or jumps with it just Drive it on a Diamond and grass when i turn it on i let it sit for 20 seconds before i Even move it check Everything over inside and out. Spray the wheels and Arms on the Truck front And back check All the bolts make sure Everything is tight including wheels Now it WON'T go ibackwards These TRUCKs.

Crashing generally shouldn’t unless you’re REALLY aiming to hit something like a wall or barrier. If you’re stripping out after that many laps, I’d recommend checking the mesh after every run. Perhaps in your case it was that you had some screws that worked themselves loose. A little bit of Loctite Blue thread locker will help hold the loose screws in place. Don’t try to use Loctite on plastic though. If you’re still stripping out, even after adjusting the mesh like in this video, then I would consider practicing more to avoid crashing so often.

@taimaishu-nao1922
@taimaishu-nao1922 2 жыл бұрын
First of all, where are you running? Polished concrete will cause a fine dust to appear. Also if you run near a busy road, you’ll have A LOT of dust collecting inside your model after a run. Clean your model out with compressed air and a large paintbrush. If you’re still seeing dust, it may be as a result of the spur gear mesh of perhaps your motor still has some dirt and grit inside. Second, check your spur gear teeth for “flatness”. If your spur teeth look wider that the gaps between them, it’s likely this is where the dust is coming from.
