spur b4

[stampede vxlboy]

does the spur gear make a noise b4 or should it be smooth ? any help plz . or do all buggy make noise from the spur gear ?

[chris_trcc]

all goes off dp size, but on a b4 should be quiet, sounds to me you havnt got enough clearance between the pinion and spur. or slightly too much (is it stripping the teeth?)

[bodgit]

You should also check the gap is consistant by rotating the spur one full rotation, and checking the gap. Not all spur gears are perfectly round so what may seem enough on one side may be tight on the other.
I use a bit of paper or insulation tape between the teeth when I set mine so it cant be too tight.

[chris_trcc]

i seen a few people that done that in the past but never actually tried it. does it work on 64 dp gears or just the 48dp

[rc_dan]

i use the paper trick. works every time with 48dp's

should work on 64 dp to, try it ? try a Rizla if not

[bodgit]

If you find paper too thick for the finer 64dp use tissue paper folded.

WHAT SPUR GEARS ARE THEY 48DP OR 64DP

[gerbil]

b4 's are 48dp mate

i think you should fit the madrat spur and pads on it, that will make it run a bit quieter

[rc_dan]

madrat spur is socking !

[stampede vxlboy]

are you joking jim 76 the spur gears for the madrat are pants

sorted the spur gear out. but when i hit the brakes it slow at the brakes coming on . using ezrun 5.5 could it be coz of the power of the motor .i need it to stop dead . i use the same set up in my son madrat and the brakes on that are fine but that a ezrun 9turn

you should be able to change the brakes with the setup card for the ezrun speed contol

[stampede vxlboy]

i have but it will not set like the madrat brakes the well fast . but is that because the motor been faster or not . 5.5turn b4 and the madrat 9turner

[Battle_axe]

it could just be that you are going allot faster than the 9 turner and u need further to stop

[stampede vxlboy]

it does not seem it was making a buzzing tune and rev up on its own with out me touch the handset

[stampede vxlboy]

no the motor works fine in my son madrat the brakes are fast as hell . but in the b4 its like it takes 10 seconds to stop a little bit. but just rolls in the b4 like it does not want to stop . but the madrat rat as the same esc in a stop fast as hell in madrat but not the b4 . does anybody know why it would do this

[stampede vxlboy]

any help would be good

Are the rear wheel locking and the buggy just skidding to a stop? If so, that will explain why the B4 takes longer to stop (tyres have maximum braking traction just before they lock up and when they lock up they have less)
