Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / February 2006tighting spur gear
Replaced some bearings in the spur gear and bell cluch, and just wondering w/ that spring for the spur gear how tight is too tight or not enough... > Replaced some bearings in the spur gear and bell cluch, and just wondering > w/ that spring for the spur gear how tight is too tight or not enough... Depends on the vehicle, terrain/traction, engine, clutch shoe material and clutch springs, racing/bashing............. lots of things. I keep mine on the Savage cranked all the way tight for zero slippage (wheelie monster!) when I bash, and loosen it 1/4 turn from tight when I'll be hitting huge airs or racing.

It'll just sit there and rev. No more than 1 turn out from tight. Doc >> OK..THX.. I believe i have it tight now, i'll turn it out a few, since >> im not a "wheelie monster" (LOL)..thx again...

Even that is too much - if it's too loose you'll melt the spur. Quarter turn out at the most IMO. Personally, I lock it right down, and have the suspension soft enough to soak up wheelies, and the gearing set just right ;)  SignatureDan >>>OK..THX..

For the record, my recommendation is all the way tight OR 1/4 turn out. 1 turn out is max! Doc |
