Status: offline 		I have bent 2 shocks and broken 2 front lower control arms and the ones that I replaced them with have a lot of play due to the hinge pin holes being oval after running them for a little while. I need to replace the tire foams already. I have upgraded the clutch bell and now have the single gear tranny, which I was assuming would slow down on the spur gear problem, and it didn't. I make sure the mesh is set and that the motor is straight every time, but if the spur gears that I get are out of round ( They wobble a little on the shaft, and I have tried a couple of different shafts with the same result ), it does not matter if the I set it the right way. They will still wear, right?

Status: offline 		I set it with a piece of printer paper. I just want my truck to break a little less than it does now! I would love to buy some more Redcat RC's, but I need find out how to fix the spur gear problem the most! I know that you occasionally have to change out a spur gear no matter what brand you have, but I do it like every other time I run it! I know other people that have the more popular brands and they do it about a 1/4 of the times that I do! Why?

Status: offline 		I have the 13T that came with the single gear tranny from Clermont. Do you know where I can get a good price on a vented 13T? Do you recommend another size bell?

Status: offline 		your ripping the 44 tooth spur out of the upgrade tranmission? There must be a problem, make sure the clutch bell's teeth are not too sharp or have ridges in them or somehting. see if dennis has the 13tooth vented if not try towerhobbies.com

Status: offline 		Yes! Twice within a month! Could running it on pavement have something to do with it? Maybe since there is no clutch, the tires need to be able to slip a little, like in dirt! I think that a vented clutch bell might help, because the clutch bell is heating up the spur gear and making it softer! I didn't think of that! Maybe we fixed my problem, I hope! Thank you for the help!

Status: offline 		Would changing the tooth size on the clutch bell change the stress that the motor puts on the the gear? If I went up a tooth, would it put less stress on the spur gear?

Status: offline 		I was noticing the other day that my chassis is bent and causing the motor the sit at a funny angle and that is what was eating up my spur gears! A little sturdier chassis would be great! They could even make some braces, like they have on the 1/8 scale R/C's.

Status: offline 		  I run my Caldera in some of the worst conditions dirt sand dirt clods the size of your fist.  after changing the spur gear 30 times and a new transmission I started experimenting with different types of slipper pads and found a flaky thin hard rubber about 3mm thick that just takes the shock away from the spur gear and transmission.  Yes they are a pain to make But well worth the time since steel spur gears are non existent This idea realy paid of.
