[-SaVaGe X-]

i am adjusting my gear meshing but every time i go to tighten the screw the mesh tighten up too and it wont turn. but i have perfect meshing when my screws are loose. can i leave the screws loose??


I NEED HELP!!!!

 

[apache18]

try to leave the mesh a little loose and then tighten up the mounting bolts. But, whatever you do, Don't leave them loose. Joe

thats what I'm doing but as soon as i tighten the bolts the mesh becomes really tight and i cant even turn the spur gear.

You may want to check the motor plate and see if it has a crack in it.

nope its bran new this is the first time I'm putting my engine back in since i installed it.

 

[apache18]

If you have the motor out. I would check to see if the motor mount is flat on the bottom? Just sit it on a flat surface and make sure it don't wobble around.

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

ok ill go check and get back to ya ASAP...thx

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

yea it wobbled....

 

[apache18]

Theres your problem. Bent motor mount. You may be able to sand it a little if it's not to bad.

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

so i will have to buy a new one if it is bad?? and if i do who makes a good one??

 

[apache18]

I use the stock one myself. A lot of company makes them. Integy, I think gpm are a couple. Joe

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

[apache18]

That sucks .. your you sure you don't have a broken block ? (mabey one of the ears on the block is broken or cracked)

 

[apache18]

Thanks for chiming in SJ. Joe

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

ears?? srry for the dumb question but what do you mean by ears??

 

[apache18]

The part that you put the bolts through on the motor,to mount it on motor mount.

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

ooo i see ill have to go check

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

[apache18]

I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you. I'm hoping soneone else will chime in and give there thoughts on this matter. Has me puzzled are now. Joe

 

[apache18]

Why did you change the motor plate to start with?

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

i no ive never seen or herd of this happening but its starting to piss me off:chainkiller::chainkiller::stressed::stressed::stressed:

 

[apache18]

What gears are you using?

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

I'm using 49/15

 

[Jeremy]

can you shoot a quick vid of the problem ?

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

yea... it might low quality cuz it will be filmed through a digital camara. but give me like 30 min.

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

Basically i have all the screws loose and the gear mesh is fine but as soon as i tighten 1 screw the gear mesh is so tight that i can barely move it. and i have to tip the back of the engine up so that i can spin the spur gear. heres a link to the video:http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/bb23/savage_19/?action=view&current=d29f1866.flv

Mine used to do that, it's frustrating as all get out. Has it had any good crashes lately? I think you will find that your engine plate is tweaked a bit on top of the aluminum brackets that tie into the chassis plates. It took alot of trial and error and I finally got mine to sit still. I used emory cloth and a 220 sand paper on a very hard flat surface...concrete, and sand the hell out of my engine mount too like apache said. Also try leaving the side screws that go through the chassis plates a bit loose and get your engine as close as you can with a piece of paper in between the gears and then tighten everything up engine screws first the chassis plate screws then pull the paper out...understand rubberband? let me know

 

[-SaVaGe X-]

yea i understand... now that i think about it the chasis plate might be out of place ill give it a try and ill get back to ya.



thx
