Brand New Volcano SV T2 1 tank after break in, i managed to strip the spur gear! Will any other brand spur gear work with mine? i know my local hobby carries alot of TMAXX. That thing was screaming fast!!! Love the Two Speed Trans!!

perhamrocks

you probably dont need a different brand spur gear. Did you remember to mesh the spur gear and the clutchbell before you started? if not that's the reason your gear stripped.

i have a t2 and i stripped mine too lol i also did alot of other damage i bent chassis broke upper arm mount front and front lower pin and arm lol i was haulin butt and slammed a building lol. I thought i was gonna clear it fine and didnt lol

your spur gear prolly stripped during or after your crash....the chassis will flex some during impact which may result in bad gear mesh

These trucks are CRAP!!!! Im goin Along on like my 3rd Tank after my breakin and all of a sudden High Revs and no moving..........My tranny isnt engaging how crap is that i have no idea how to fix that and thats just another part that they wont know nothing about

firebird78

is the spur gear and clutchbell meshed???.....when you give the rc throttle does the clutchbell spin?

perhamrocks

is the nut on the slipper tight enough?
and these veihcles aren't CRAP it's just inexperiance. That's the way it is with learning, it just takes some time, i know when i got my first nitro i had lots of problems, mainly becasue i didn't know what i was doing, but now it's all good.

the cluth bell spur gear good they act like no resistance they just spin like normaly car idling sitting still the spur gear and clutch bell stay still till give throttle right? well they spin idling i dont know how to post pics on here or id take pic of the tranny open and let you see if you can figure it out. the truck moved fine then just did this im lost

mdgiebel

and you can spin the spurgear and the tranny just spins like where the dog bones connect to tranny to front and rear ends they sit still but the gear in tranny move
i think that what is goin on but dont know why its the t2 model and nobody seems to know anything about them not even redcat

firebird78

if the clutchbell is turning the spur gear when you give it throttle but your rc doesnt move it has to be in the tranny...

mdgiebel

yeah i dont know how it supposed to look or anything is there suppose to be a screw in pin on the metal piece with the throw out pin cause there a spot looks like somthing was screwed in there but nothing there now dont know

mdgiebel

nm that to take that thing off i think but dont really know i think its the big nut looking bearing thing that sits in the second gear anyone know what im talkin about

perhamrocks

also make sure that your grub screws are tight on ALL of your drive cups

firebird78

flip the truck over...there should be a square cut in the chassis were the tranny is....you will prolly have to rotate the spur gear to see it but there should be 2 grub screws

perhamrocks

the new two speeds are sealed transmissions and there should be a hole were you can acces the grub screw on the back left side of the transmission. Turn counter clockwise to make it shift earlier or clockwise to make it shift later

mdgiebel

i dont know how to post pics its wierd, the gears dont grip the shaft that go through the middle of the gears that the dogbones connect to on the outside of the tranny

mdgiebel

and the t2s have different chassis it has no hole in bottom of chassis to access tranny these truck have a lot of differences from the sv s30 models

perhamrocks

no you acces the grub screw through the top to change when the two-speed shifts

mdgiebel

i understand that but the gears arent gripping the shaft the gears spin free on the shaft

perhamrocks

i'm not sure but try tightening the shifting adjustment grub screw on the trans

edit: have you opened it up and tried to mess around with it yet to see how it works? because that's usualy the best way to fix it and learn how your vehicle works is just to tinker with it.

mdgiebel

yeah i opened it that how i know it just free spin on the shaft i cant figure out how to get it to tighten on the shaft to turn the shaft when the gear turns

biggin6930741

there is a one way bearing inside the first gear that allows second gear to spin the shaft faster. It sounds like that went bad.

mdgiebel

yeah its pretty sad that its already crapped out well at least I think so

mdgiebel

Well I replaced the Chassis and the front upper arm mount and the comple gear setup for the inside tranny and ran it for bout an hour today. Took it to our bmx track here in town it was REALLY fun. I am just so happy I finally got to enjoy my truck and only one thing broke my servo mount for my stear the mounts that the screws go in broke off but i got it to work lol a little ghetto riggin lol but it is fun to just drive on open grass but on a dirt track....OMG freakin fun thanks for all the help fellas

mdgiebel

I was curious if anyone with the t2 has a problem with the front upper arm mount part number 01007. I just broke my second one and thats not the curious part the curious part is that they broke in EXACTLY the same spot and EXACTLY the same side and EXACTLY the same shape just curious cause it makes me wonder if the parts were made with a defect in them lemme know thanks
