Solo Adventure

[Big Daddy]

I went out this morning with nothing in particular in mind other than to test out some recent changes to the rig. Since I was alone I decided it would be good to break out the camera. Figured I should start working on setting up better transitions between clips and also work on my scale driving. I linked some things in the video that were a transitions on the same lines and others were nowhere near each other but had similar lighting or backgrounds.
Anyways, let me know what you think.

Looks good, but what is that grinding noise? Is your gear mesh too tight? Just sounds a bit odd to me.

[Big Daddy]

Not sure, gear mesh is fine. I've been chasing the noise but haven't found it yet. I've rebuilt trans and both axles and it still whines.

I went through your build thread, was the noise there before the OD gear install? Are you running 32p spur/pinion? My buddy's Wraith and Ridgecrest are rather noisy on 32p.

[Big Daddy]

On 48P. Without a pinion on the drivetrain is quite and moves freely. Running an 18 tooth pinion it is pretty quiet and the 16 tooth pinion is noisy. I though the mesh was tight at first so I backed it off and destroyed a spur gear. I shimmed the O/D gear so it runsas it should now too.
