to begin hello to every one first post

this is the first r/c car i have built now i have searched the forums but couldnt find an answer.

basically i cannot get the cog on the motor to connect to the cog on the drive shaft and i have kept every thing stock. can some one help me try and reslove this so i can actually use my car.

thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi, welcome to rcu. Most models have a hole and a slot or two slots so the motor can be slid closer for smaller gears. Is it possible you used both small gears and the motor is at the end of it's travel so the gears don't touch?

Or perhaps are the two teeth not engaging to each other?

I'm going to open my kit and see, cuz I have a brand new one.

I loked at my kit and it shows a 19 tooth pinion and a plastic motor mount that has a different set of holes for each pinion (19-21 tooth) If the correct set of holes are used the gear mesh should be right. I hope I'm understanding your issue.

thanks i sorted it and now i discovered i installed the steering servo back to front but thats a two second job thanks
