I’m a year into this new hobby and I’ve pretty much been having a blast. The one issue I’m having is having to reinstall pinion gears, I‘ve had to do this numerous times. When I’ve asked before a lot of the comments I’ve gotten was to ditch the Arrma pinions. I’ve ditched the Arrma’s and went with the e-clipless 12T Tekno’s.
I’ve cleaned the grub screws with brake cleaner, I’ve also cleaned the pinion hole with a q-tip soaked with brake cleaner, I started using red loctite and had it sit 48 hours. After one full pack, JUST ONE PACK! Yes, the pinion gear came free once again.
It’s the stock motor and ESC I’m running so it’s not that I’m running anything crazy power wise. I followed proper mechanical procedures as best I could I’m still frequently having problems.
