sand in spur
 

Well the x6 cubed was great out today at barham track drove great all day apart from a broken servo gears. One thing that for second time out side I killed a spur and pinion from haveing sand in it. I have a undertray and body is cut as tight as I can get it but its still getting in there. Is there going be an option part soon so I can get a gear cover as its getting expensive for pinions and spurs.

Infest, go on RCTech.net to our main thread and ask for Speedy Dad. He makes a CF motor plate that accepts the B4 gear cover.

If you are using alloy pinions, I find they are much more susceptible to sand/grit damage than steel, which in turn damages the tooth profile, whcih chews the spur. Using steel pinions, the damaging effects on the pinion and spur are less and I usually just have to flick out the odd embedded grain from the plastic spur.

For the cost of 1 pinion, its an fairly cheap and rapid way to test for an improvement.

HTH :thumbsup:

Cheers sounds like a winner for barham track as its umm sand bunker style.

Thank you toby ill try that in the future. Never had the problem in past with b4 c4 b44 dango cubed is the first but if steel helps thats the way foward.
