SETTING THE GEAR MESH
The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting the
gear mesh is only necessary when changing motors or gears.
You must remove the vehicle’s gear cover
(A)
to make this
adjustment.
Proper gear mesh (how the gear teeth meet) is important to the
performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the
spur gear could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If
the mesh is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and
ESC will overheat.
Set the gear mesh by following these simple steps:
1. Loosen the 2 motor screws (
B
).
2. Put a small piece of paper (
C
) between the pinion and spur
gears.
3. Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.
4. Rotate the gears to remove the paper. The gearing should
move a small amount.
5. Reinstall the gear cover.

jumper from the default port and connect it to the desired port.
