My spur/pinion mesh is spot on. Regarding the tranny, if you don't have gear issues, then consider yourself lucky and enjoy your ride. Could be your driving style/frequency, could be that you ended up with hardened gears that will grenade in the near future, who knows. The tranny is a known problem area in the Flux; this post is for those that are looking for a proven fix.

My experience with this truck is that the stock gears graneded, and the next 3 sets chewed each other up to sharp points; ref previous post linked in the beginning of this forum for pics. My guess is that HPI changed their tempering process at some point on the problem gears . . . Thus the reason for the sudden verses slow gear death. Two of the gears in the tranny are much higher quality and will last a very long time with or without lubrication.
