Revo motor mount and gear mesh - RC-Monster Forums

jnev · 10:38 PM

I installed the electronics from my buggy into my Revo and everything went great. I had a 18t pinion and 36t spur, and they meshed perfectly. But when I took the motor out to shorten the ESC wires, and I put the motor back in, the gears didn't reach. So after this, I installed a 38t spur. And the gears meshed perfectly again. Now today while testing it out, the Revo did great, but when I took the motor out for cleaning after the bash and put it back in, the gears once again didn't reach... This has never happed on any other car of mine before, but I just don't get how this is happening. The motor is pushed as far as possible to the spur, but still the mesh isn't close enough this way.

Please someone help. I found a great new bash spot (where I went today) and am hoping to go there again tomorrow.

Thanks.

Did you adjust the gear mesh with the stock nitro motor mount or just with the RCM motor mount?
You have the oportunity with this RCM motor mount to have two places to adjust gear mesh.

I did not know that. But I do remember being able to move motor mount side to side when I installed it...

Thanks for the help. Now to remember which screws I need to take out.

Be sure to leave the motor brace in back loose whenver you move the motor. Its should slide back and forth until you have the mesh set, tighten the motor screws down, then tighten the brace screws.

If you don't the motor can be a bit offset even when you think you've put the mesh back to the same place.

Will do. Thanks.

So far, I have adjusted the gear mesh and it has been working awesome since.
