RCTogether * How to set gear mesh

- We made a quick video tutorial on proper gear mesh to try to help those out there with questions. A lot of people use the piece of paper technique, but I personally do not find that method consistent enough to use on my own rigs. So I spent a lot of time understanding what a proper mesh should look and feel like and wanted to share that with everyone. Hope this helps some folks out there!
I am glad this video has helped so many people over the years. Marcus and I never expected such a good response, but we really did make this video for the entire community and all new comers. We wanted it to be as easy as possible for people to set their mesh properly so they can really enjoy the crawl. Thanks for all the support!
This is great, I must admit I am shocking for just pushing my gears together and tightening up the motor. No wonder I keep overheating motors and burning out bearings ha ha. This vid has inspired me to try harder (-;
Jax Teller WA Thank you very much for your comment, this is EXACTLY why we made this video. In this hobby we want to share as much information with others as possible to help people out!! :)
nomedab
Great work my friend!
Very thanks for this video!Thanks from Poland.
I am glad you found this video helpful greetings from the United States to Poland. 😎👍
Great job Brian and Marcus!
Thanks brother!
As the others before me said, Good tip, I'm sure I I ever get a proper RC I can put this knowledge to use. ;)
Fam Angus Very good, thanks for the feedback and hope this helps you in the future!!
Great info/tutorial :)
why is it so satisfying to watch
+Rc_ KiNg lol I agree nothing like a good gear mesh!! 😉
nomedab lol i Might sell my vkar bison and get a traxxas stampede
+Rc_ KiNg stampede is a solid platform. You will have a lot of fun with it. And they are easy to find parts for.
Good topic. I see a lot of people having gear mesh issues.
RC Crawler Workbench Thanks man, I am hoping it helps some of the people out there that have had issues with mesh. In my opinion it is a critical part of tuning your rig for top performance and reliability. Thanks for the feedback!
Ill check out my deadbolt and see what it looks like. One day we need to meet up and go riding. I am in the Birmingham area of Alabama
ClayCrawler75 We definitely need to do that sometime. There is a spot in Alabama that our group has been talking about going. I think it was called "Little Rock" or something like that. If you are on Facebook, feel free to join the "Atlanta RC Rock Crawlers" we usually put up event info on that group page.
Hehe I just changed motors on my and my brother's scx10s and try to set this perfectly :)
Nice Tip :)
RCNennox It is crazy how the mesh can be off just a little bit and cause the truck to run like crap. It is more important than most people realize to get this right. Thanks for the feedback bro! :)
nice tip have fun rcing
Budget Guy RC We are trying to put out some general tips to help the hobby and the community, appreciate your feedback as always!!
nice perfect video been stripping out Spur Gears all weekend with my slash 4 × 4 hopefully this will help me I only get about two and a half 3s batteries out of it in hard pack sand
Hopefully this helps you out, this is exactly why we posted this video because there was not a lot of good videos on this topic that just cut straight to the point. Glad you found it useful.
Good tip!
TOJO RC Thanks!
KINSHELLA KUSTOMS That is great to hear, glad you found it helpful!
I have a 3930kv motor in my arrma voltage and the pionion gear is 16t and it is tight so if i go to 17t and put it on the 19t would it fit
6 years later and this video helps yet another enthusiast! Installing the 32p proline conversion into my 8 yr old 2wd slash. Yeeehaaaw!!
I’m glad to hear this information continues to help people out there, and I hope it continues to help many more. 😎👍
I have a arrma voltage and the pionion gear is 16t its to tight i tryed evrything that i can think of and it didnt work
Sometimes you may reach the limit of what the car or truck can handle and generally you can find documentation online or in the manual that will let you know how high you can go of a tooth for any given gear. Now if you’re hacking if you’re trying to get a bigger tooth on your Motor and it’s just a little too tight but fits you can get a Dremel and take away a little bit of the material that allows for the motor to be slid just a little farther away so that you can get the right space and not have it too tight. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
Pretty understandable!
I am glad you found it helpful!
Thank you. This video did help me a lot👍🏼
Thanks from Holland
Great vid, finally one I can show people that isn't the paper method.
Thanks man, I think the paper method leaves too much room for error. I hope this video helps out as many people as possible. Appreciate your feedback!
I think you are right. The best method is to use your eyes and a magnifying lens to see the gap better. Especially if you have an 64p gear
Thanks for the feedback, I like your idea of a magnifying lens, that is a great idea to be able to see the mesh much better.
nomedab Yes. I manipulated the gap between 64p gears which have more dense teeth according to your video. I think your method is more detailed because whenever I inserted a piece of paper, the results were not always good as the gap was not always correct.
This is great feedback, I found the same inconsistencies with the "paper method", one of the primary reasons I made this video! Sounds like you are running nice and smooth now! :)
nomedab Yes but I still need time to get the knack of it well.
Yes, all true, i use receipt paper for standard Axial gearing the wider tge spacing between the teeth ness the thicker the paper, but to each his own,
Nicely done, im personally having an issue where my pinion kinda feels like its binding. Its an 8.5 turn so you can feel that notchy feel when you twist the motor alone. But my problem is its confusing me when im trying to mesh because when you spin it you have that same notchy feeling the motor has but i mean it drives fine and the motor doesnt seem to over heat. But still not sure if i just have it to tight.
its funny because they say electric is less finicky than nitro but im so used to nitro that this electric stuff is confusing me haha. just the feel of the motor the way it spins and no matter what type of mesh i try it feels not right to me. and its all new stuff.
+Review Guy interesting, does it feel like it is binding at a certain point in the rotation? Or is it consistent throughout the turn? Some motors are just really stiff and noisy. We typically run sensored brushless motors and they turn very smooth and quiet. Maybe try loosening up the mesh just a bit and test it out.
Awesomeness all is good, all comments are true it takes practice & trial & error been in the hobby sins 2008 started with Axial Scorpions now have a good assortment of fun models thanks for your info .... So Utah
Thanks for watching and commenting
Great content, thanks!
Great info
it'll be hard for me to set my gear mesh up because I can't see my gears i would have to take apart my entire rear diff so I'm probably going to try and switch the car on and do by the sound or something
+Rc_ KiNg I know it is more work, but I would highly recommend opening it up so that you can see the mesh. Doing it by sound is kinda risky. 😉
nomedab yep i got a way of doing it
Very nice illustration ... Can you perform it using bigger gear & pinion diameters it will help all of us to catch your point crystal clear
Good suggestion, and I may shoot a new version of the video based off your input. Next time I have an opportunity with a larger set of gears I’ll try to catch that. 😉
@@RCTogether Thanks a lot 💐💐💐
My rcs have always been noisy
+The Real Pro Racer lol, mine did too until I switched to the dark side lol, I mean brushless. 😉
nomedab haha but mine are brushless 🤔
A good trick, which you probably already know but I will mention it anyway for others who read this, is to pull the motor or at least disengage the gear mesh for the pinion and spur and free roll your RC. Determine if it is a very smooth roll and/or quiet. It should be both, but if not check for other binding points in your driveline. But then again, some RCs are just plain noisy! :)
nomedab yeah I've done that
Maybe it's just because my rc is noisy... that reassures me thx
