11) Double check the gear mesh. If you are satis-
fied that it is correct, apply a couple of drops of Trinity
bushing oil onto the gear box bearings. Also apply a light

couple of times to distribute the oil and grease.
❑
12) Remove any excess oil using a paper towel and
reinstall the motor. Connect the motor leads to the ESC
