Transmission

Darren,

I have switched to a 27 turn motor(from the 17t) when I put in this last set of gears, and I am still stripping them out after about 3 battery runs. I have ran now only in my backyard with jumps that are about 6 to 8 inches tall. A couple other guys I have talked to are tearing the gears up also, and trying different motors and grease. What can I do now? I have reduced the power and have tried to not stay on the throttle on landing, but don't think I need to change how I drive on a normal track just so I don't break it. Thanks.

Just got a call from Darren concerning the gears. They are working on machining gears from some different materials to see what improvements can be made. He can provide more details on that. In the meantime, I may be trying some different lubes, possibly motor cycle chain lube to see if there is something that will stay on the gears at high speeds. Thanks Darren.

Hi All:
We will have a small run of upgrade gears for the Pro-2wd transmission in hand on or by the 30th. A lot of you have asked for them and we wanted to let you all know that we have been working on them for the past month.

Part number & price to fallow.
