you need a DLUX chromoly worm...but he stopped making/selling them.

I ate worms too...you need to make sure you use good grease, not cheap automotive stuff. Some rocksmith, team3six, gearscience, etc. Also, are any of your housing screws stripped? There is alot of pressure put on the housing so they tend to spread and bind the worms when holes are stripped, this binding will cause worms to strip

[jdmguy760]

losikid are any of those greases still around?

[Fish11]

No ever things all tight that's what she sed lol but yea he told me he don't make them ne more idk what to get and I run the Lucas red tacky

gearjelly ain't but team3six is and i think the gear science stuff is...its been along time since i've bought grease.

redntacky is great unless you get it warm and then its like melted butter up in there and don't stick worth a darn

[jdmguy760]

team3six has rocklub is that the grease?

[Fish11]

4S is a lot of power for the worms. They were designed for 2S and some 55T Motors. Try the HD ones and maybe 3S.

Is the wear on the spool even and centered? It kinda looks like its only wearing on one side... If that's the case I'd replace both the worm and the spool. I'd also check the bearings, as the worm bearings take a TON of abuse.

[Mutant_Xj]

You might want to replace the axle cases too

[Fish11]

I put new stock one in and new bearings it did have a lil play

x2.
A worm gear applies a large amount of leverage/friction on a pinon and with 4S you are asking a lot of them. When it comes to wearing out/breaking, it's more like "when" and not "if". HD or hardened steel gears for sure in your situation.

Wow.....now I know your problem. It´s not 4S, the motor, bearings or the worms.......it´s your accelerationfinger
