Default b4 sounds like a tractor???

ran my sp v3 yesterday and all was well till i went to crazy on the big jump and the motor came out, screwed it back in, checked the spur and pinion all is fine yet it sounds like its clicking as its going along, a bit like a diesel, im wondering if its the diff? as the motor is okay and its not up against the spur to tight either, what should i be looking for or what could be causing it as it sounds really rough.

thanks.

Is the spur gear damaged?
Is there any grit or anything in the spur or pinion teeth?
Is the motor plate bent?
Is there any tight spots in the gear mesh when rotating the spur by hand to check the mesh with the motor pinion?

Can you check the motor? Try taking it apart for a clean and checking it...

Hope this helps.

To check the diff, if its a ball diff, the diff screw is in the right hand side diff output, when facing the front.

Cheers
Mark

Hi, I saw you reply to my thread from when I had a similar problem.

I ended up taking mine back to the shop and they fixed, its turned out to be the Gear Mesh. I did get them to show me how to fix it.Also had some tips in my thread.

Basically they loosended the motor, then folded an A4 piece of paper and but inbetween the Pinion Gear and Spur Gear/Slipper Clutch and then moved the motor into position. Then re-tighten the motor and roll the gear round to remove the paper. The mesh should sit right then ( Mine sounds fine so I guess it works).

My Slipper was way too loose as well so might want to check that.

I am a total newbie to this but I think i managed to understand them lol

how old is it?

When i took mine back to the shop as it was only 2/3 weeks old they offered to strip and fix if needed.

Good luck with getting it sorted, know how frustrating it can be.
