Status: offline 		i had that same problem the oter day. I had to make sure the drive cup was line up correctly on the shaft coming from the tranny. i tightened it incorrectly on the round part of the shaft and it would slip. once we put it on the flat part no more problems.

39 and i doubt you will find anything that will fit, i tried from hpi, traxxas, tamiya, kyosho. Its the same pitch as the hpi but no gears will mount like it.

Status: offline 		I took the top deck off of my volcano to to tighten and locktight the grub screws in the drivetrain. When I had it all put back together I noticed that when I moved the steering arm by hand it seemed tight. I loosened the screws that hold the steering linkage in place and it still seemed stiff? I also tried loosing the collar for the damping spring but the threads that it goes up and down on just seemed to spin? Does anyone have a pic or diagram of how it is supposed to look? Is it supposed to be a little stiff or move freely? Thank-You for any advice!
