redcat rampage XB-E spur gear problems

[Killerbuzz]

I've been facing continuous issues with XB-E spur gear pins .. I broke more than three of them and I wasn't even going that hard.


I have one redcat rampage XB-E and Maverick Vader XB-E .. though i might have better luck with the other brand name loool


anyway I have the following setup on these cars


Redcat Rampage XB-E


- Leopard 5692 730Kv motor with kershawdesigns mount


-original spur gear


-14T pinion


-Hobbywing ESC with this setup .. throttle= 100% brake =75% reverse=50%


- 6S lipo battery.


====================================


broke three spur gear pins


====================================


Maverick Vader XB-E


-Leopard 5692 1090kv motor with 7075 motor mount.


-CC XL2 ESC


-11T pinion


-4S lipo x2 batteries


=====================================


managed to destroy the spur gear


=====================================


the maverick currently on standby waiting for the new spur gear.


the redcat is waiting for new pin for the spur gear


I don't know I find the design of the spur gear is kind of bad and they should have used a screwed or bolted spur gear instead of the short pin which they are using in their current setup

Your correct, not the greatest design, you could drill out a 40t steel spur from ebay. I did this with my chimera and MT.. Much easier on MT
