I left the motor in to change the pinion.... but I needed a micro blowtorch to get the grub screw out of the pinion and to get the pinion off the motor shaft.. Arrma used far to much threadlock.. lol.. I think your method is easier to set the mesh... I enjoyed the upload :-)
Thanks it much easier to work on than the Nero, this should have taken 10-15mins. Pinion gear took nearly double that to remove - red stud locker used to put it on - very hard to remove. Hoping others don't have the same problem - suspect I was unlucky.
I was unlucky too, my grub screw cracked after I heated it to help with the red loctite, even after I finally got the grub screw off the pinion was being a bitch but I used a big flat head screwdriver and some heat to pry it off.
I'm new to rc myself and I'm having to call my hobby shop to confirm the right thread lock or lock tight I agree to his thoughts, do I get lock tight or what?
Happy to help - basically the red colored stuff is a more permanent lock e.g. much harder to undo than the blue color is. Wherever possible I use the blue. The thing is to allow it plenty of time to dry. I allow at least an hour but some will say that's overkill. Often though I put it on late at night and leave it to set overnight but I'm sure there's no need to leave it that long at all.
Hello I change my piñon for thr high speed and when I run it like for 2 mins maxik speed the ESC just turn off and do not run front or reverse ad 1 red light turn on, if I turn off and then on I can use and and n the same amount of time happens the same, it's and outcast do you think it's to much speed the the ESC protects itself and that's why it turn off?
Thx for the tutorial. But I didn't even get close to the pinion. Using the hex provided by arrma I ruined the screw head with one movement (motor mount underneath the chassis) . I am not new to tools but: wow. What to do now? :( screws are made of butter
I do know what you mean about the screws, I've not been able to test my senton on the speed gearing as one screw won't come out the chassis! For stuck hex screws I've a mini metal cutting disc I fit to my dremel, I then cut a slot in the top of the hex screw and use a flat bladed screwdriver to undo it. I appreciate this may mean buying a dremel etc but that said it's my go to tool for so many RC jobs. Hope that helps.
Eddy you may need to use heat, like from a gas hob! They use RED Loctite on the pinion and on a lot of these cars they seem to have used way too much. heat and lever firmly off.
In 2019 did the trick for me to :-) I ran mine on 6s 8000mah 200c burst lipo's with no grub screw in the pinion gear!!... still didn't budge.... its like concrete lol. Thanks for the advice:-)
Ah! I hate to say it but I am so glad I am not alone - I did not higlight this in the video as I thought 'unlucky just my car'. In the end I used a 7mm wheel nut spanner (You know that one that comes with every RC car ever sold - In saying that I'm hoping it's not your first RC!). Place it over the pinion gear get a hammer (I used a large rubber one but a small ball pane one would do- nothing excessive) tap it down. Use large flat bladed screwdriver to lever it back up - BUT keep turning it around as you do so, so as not to put too much pressure on shaft e.g don't use so much force as to bend shaft. After two -ups/downs I was able to pull it off with pliers. I'm now going to feedback to arrma this is an issue. Thought it was just mine. I'll amend description to reflect how hard it is to remove. You can understand I thought I was just unlucky.
Sweet deal thanks for the info. This is not my first RC lol. I have plenty of them haha. Few guys on arrma mods facebook ground said applying heat to the pinion and shaft (beutane torch, lighter, heat gun, flame soldering iron) would break the locktight loose on it and slip right off like it should will do the trick. Thanks a bunch.
Thats insane. Now im struggling to get the wheels off. Few guys on facebook said they put a heat gun do the wheel to soften it a little and pulled it off. Once it cooled took a dremel to it to make it easier to remove.
Chris I've heard all of them have tight wheels. I've tried removing one to clean the car but it wouldn't budge so I left that battle to another day. Thanks for the tip I will try heat and using my Dremel (What would we do without it!). Thanks again for sharing this advice
Use blue not red. Arrma use red on some places in these cars and it's a NIGHTMARE to remove (hot air gun needed etc). So use blue which is fine for most jobs on electric RC's
@@ELValenin I have to say without going back down into the garage I'm not sure! Most good LHS stores carry the blue stuff, I don't think there's a lot to choose between them e.g. I've not had duff blue threadlock!
You may need to apply heat. Use a soldering iron or a lighter (VERY CAREFULLY if you do). They gave used Red Thread Lock excessively on some of them and can be a devil to loosen,
ain't they for fitting to the bottom of the arrma infraction? At least the two packs of 16! I have a sat on the side are for!!! Got two arriving this week all being well (Two? Don't ask! If you are after one PM me)
Agreed you can buy loctite in blue or red, I referred to it in the commonly known terms, Blue used in video. All comments welcome but google search pulls up threadlocker in red. Really are we arguing about the color???? As you seem to know more about the specific type please post link to your own video. Happy to share it. Apologies if I got it wrong...
I'm sorry if you took it in a bad way. My comment was in no way meant to be taken as criticism. I'm fairly new to RC and I've been reading that Loctite was a threadlocker. Your video cast a doubt and I wanted to double-check with you. Again, sorry.

@Solomon Orion thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!
@Yehuda James Happy to help =)
Excellent. Thanks so much for the guide! Sounds like such a simple thing to swap out but more involved than I thought.

Sam the red threadlock they use is just awful (Child friendly words)
want to say I do like your help with your video ,very well done
I don't have one of these, but you made look very easy. Nice work!

Brian Hey, what is a Thread Locktight?
Thanx, good video. Can't wait to see it running on 6s with the 16T!
First one comes out this Saturday morning. Going out to shoot more now
What gear is the plastic gear on the 4s 110 kraton
Great how to video, have you done on for the Fazon? I would like to see that one. THANKS
No I've not got a Fazon it's mechnically very similar to my nero. Too similar to buy one that is
Driftomaniacs Thanks

Do rocks get into the pinion and spur and jam it up or chew them up?
not that I've found
How about the senton pinion is that difficult to change i just purchased the v3 version and want to upgrade to 16t pinion any suggestions?
Thx for the tutorial. But I didn't even get close to the pinion. Using the hex provided by arrma I ruined the screw head with one movement (motor mount underneath the chassis) . I am not new to tools but: wow. What to do now? :( screws are made of butter

Great video. Thanks.
The pinion keeps slipping off with locktite. What should I do?
You need to let it set overnight to cure
Colonial Heights Skate Park !!
Will it over heat bad and break anything ?
if u run the speed gear only run on the road no off road bashing
What if I do go offroad
@@ringer405 just hard on motor and esc read the yellow card the gear is in
Alr thx man
What did you do to get the pinion off the shaft with the red lock on the the shaft??? I'm having a hell of a time

3 days and 9 hours on arrma nero gearbox frame screw... I am losing the will to live. Outcast pinion seemed easy to compared to this...

Its a 2mm hex wrench i need to tighten screws
Can this be done on arrma raider?
Two totally different cars one is 4WD with centre mounted motor the other RWD, rear engined. Really uncertain why you are asking this?
Which threadlock do you use??
Use blue not red. Arrma use red on some places in these cars and it's a NIGHTMARE to remove (hot air gun needed etc). So use blue which is fine for most jobs on electric RC's
@@DriftomaniacsRC okay which brand?
@@ELValenin I have to say without going back down into the garage I'm not sure! Most good LHS stores carry the blue stuff, I don't think there's a lot to choose between them e.g. I've not had duff blue threadlock!
@@DriftomaniacsRC okay thx
Thank you!!!
Please show how to do a ARRMA Fazon.
HI it's (Fazon) the same as the Arrma Nero pinion change, which I've done a video on.
What kind of wheels are those?
They are the stock Outcast ones & Stock Tires
I can't get the pinion gear off the motor shaft please help!
You may need to apply heat. Use a soldering iron or a lighter (VERY CAREFULLY if you do). They gave used Red Thread Lock excessively on some of them and can be a devil to loosen,
yep i just today am trying to remove my factory one and i have the same issue
same on the kraton ?
Sorry no idea BUT someone who knows other arrmas better may be able to comment/help
ok
thanks brother
I destroyed one due to red....
Heat helps a great deal - loosens lock tight.
but melts plastic!
LOL, be careful! Use soldering iron briefly!
Beats stripping grub screw!
Titanium screws.......🤣😂🤣😂🤣
ain't they for fitting to the bottom of the arrma infraction? At least the two packs of 16! I have a sat on the side are for!!! Got two arriving this week all being well (Two? Don't ask! If you are after one PM me)
You said it will need threadlock on it, not loctite. Isn't loctite a threadlock? Blue being the prefered color for RC.
Agreed you can buy loctite in blue or red, I referred to it in the commonly known terms, Blue used in video. All comments welcome but google search pulls up threadlocker in red.
