Last night I noticed while working on the 5b, that rears tires spin quite easily with little resistance. Found this kinda odd because usually its a lot harder to turn. I know for sure its not the motor, since i just bought it from OBR and in the process of breaking it in. So Off came the cover for the transmision. Main spur gear was still on there tight with no problems. However small pinion gear slides back and forth approx an inch. Just far enough out that i can tell its scratching the inside of the spur gear cover if I turn the wheel with spur gear cover on. There is absolutely no resistance on it. In fact, i can spjn it by hand and it just keeps spinning slowly. Kinda like a bearing, if that makes sense. What could be causing this? YES, my pinion gear is on their tight so its not loose or anything. Still trying to get it apart as I write this.mIf it helps, here is my current setup:
OBR full mod 34cc (non reed)
Turtle Racing V2 heavy duty clutch system.
Run an aftermarket TR 57/17 spur gear/17pinion.
Please help. What could be causing or have caused this? I hope its nothing serious since I just finished building my buggy the past couple months and am anxious to go run it. Thanks in advance for the help..
