I have went through a couple and was wondering if there were any recommendations for a different spur gear or different gear ratio. The pinion gear i have on the motor is a 6928 48 pitch 28T gear. any recommendations would help
What motor are you running?

Check bearings on drive shaft?

Besides checking the bearings, make sure to use a good steel pinion gear.
