|  Gear help.
I installed hot racing alloy gears in my transmission ran about 2 batterys through them now they are stripped. Has any else had this trouble with there gears? I am running with a gc3 chassis, mip drive shafts, Novak mongoose motor and esc and 1000 2s lipos.

I have beat the crap out of alum gears with no worry,I went alum cuz they are lighter. I have put a beating on them also with no issue. Alum will wear fast if its not greased. Did you grease the gears? did you buy them new? |

Nope, no probs with mine. Ran them all last season. I just checked them and gave a relube the other day. You may want to make sure all your bearings are good. And seated well. Check your tranny case for any deformaties; cracks, etc. |

One thing you have to becareful of is that whe you put the gears in that you clean all debre in the case. If you strip a plastic gear and dont get the shavings out you could strip out the metal gears.

I wouldnt oil them,I would grease them,oil can/will eventually work its way out of the case(leak) and create a mess. Grease will stay put |
