How to Adjust Your Gear Mesh using a piece of notebook paper on an E Revo 2.0 Explained in Detail! Run it Spring, Summer, and Fall. In the Winter Rebuild it All!! Video Series #5
I use the stock plastic spur gear. Cause if something on the drivetrain is going to break, I want it to be my spur gear. It's only $3.00, and it's easy to replace!👍
Do you have a video on how to replace the spur. Mine stripped after 3 months. I ordered the metal version. Should I just replace with the stock plastic one?
Yes, definitely do not get a metal gear, stick with plastic cause something has to be the weak link. Mise well be a $3.00 gear that is easy to replace. I have a video on the differentials wich includes the clutch and spur gear assembly.
On the E-Revo 2.0 VXL the motor mount creates a tighter mesh between the pinion and spur gear as you are tightening the upper motor mount bolt. That said, I preemptively account for this and intentionally give it a looser mesh and when I tighten the motor mount screw it gives it a perfect mesh.
There is no need to loosen the bottom screw on the motor mount. The motor mount pivots on a plastic peg, that screw is holding that peg in place. Just loosen the top screw and you can adjust the mesh.
Hey Trev, After fooling around with the cranky old conversion transmission, I want to install a center diff instead. What will I need and have you done a video on it thanks. This is in the E Revo conversion.
This video is the closest thing i have that would help you out seeing what your going to need. Sorry, I have never done a conversion before, but i am sure there are Traxxas forums where people have done this. hopfuly this video will help u out some. th-cam.com/video/PoCF1VIAGjU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the videos, I just got a e revo conversion , I am having a hard time getting the dx5c and the 6 ch rx to deal with the 2 speed trany and reverse. Can you help the some tips on how to make this work...thanks
love the video, i have an e revo 2.0 vxl as well, i want to use a 14 tooth pinion gear, do you happen to know if i need to move the motor from the low CG mounting holes to the high CG mounting holes? According to the manual page 27 it looks like they want you to, but if i remove the 3 hole plastic piece i would think i could adjust it just like you did. I really don't want to have to raise my motor to the higher CG holes
You probably will have to use the C position for the 14. But, I know a lot of people who have just gotten rid of the plastic adaptor and adjusted it correctly without it, just make sure it is tight with Loctite and get the mesh right!
Adjust the motor plate so that the pinyon shaft is pretty much lined up in the center of the motor plate.then use the appropriate hole in the motor mount for the size pinyon that u have and follow the video for the correct gear mesh
My motor mounts came loose 1 week after owning mine anyone else had that happen? It’s super easy to fix just weird it happened so fast only driven the car 3 times.
Mine came loose on the 3rd or fourth time as well. use loctite and check it regularly as well as the pinyon. it will eat the sour gear up if it comes loose.
I am running a 16t pinion and a 46t spur gear, and I am using the adapter with my bolt in the center position. This combination works great for me bashing and jumping and general all around!
I saw your comment a while back and wanted to just say an experience I had today. . I too use a double folded paper. I never felt a single piece was enough, so have just always went with a double. Last night I threw on a 50t spur with my 12t pinion to see how I like it, but only used a single piece of paper. . After about 10 minutes of running it I started hearing a sound the was similar to a bearing running dry. Anything above 30,000 rpm and it would make this noise. . So I reset my mesh to a double piece and voilà the sound is gone. . Using the preset mesh adapter I can tell it’s a little looser than a double sheet, so you’ll be fine.
@@upgradedrc3697 when I give my car throttle the pinion gear stays in contact with my spur but it goes up and down so sliding. I didn’t know if it had to stay in one spot. But What can I do to fix it

No metal gears are bad. They last longer, but if the nylon gear dosen't break first, then it ruins the other gears down the line. The spur is the easiest one to change and the cheapest. So you want that to take all the abuse and save the other harder to get gears. Metal gears are bad.
@@upgradedrc3697 u should make a TH-cam video showing every screw on the car that you put loctite on But thank you I will do that now your video was very very helpful
Yes, you'll just have to change the orientation from the motor to motor mount holes. There are 3 sets of holes, 2 of which are used for the original motor with small or large pinion and the last set of holes used for Large Motors.
1st time Traxxas E-Revo player here. Thanks for the help.
Thank you for your demonstration. That really helped. I could not get it right until I saw your video🤩
KING 🤴🏻
Thank you !
This video really help ! Thank you !

Awesome video thanks
I’m new to these and just got 2 of them given to me and this video helped tremendously. Thank you so much
You are very welcome. Let me know if you have any questions.😎👍🤙
You explained this topic very well thanks

i was thinking the same thing, but could not remember for sure
Do u know how to mesh on a kaiju? Not really sure how to don iui t.
👍
thank you so much!
Thanks man I appreciate it

@@upgradedrc3697 Thanks for the info !!!!
I'm not sure . Use what u want to, it is not necessary to use the adapter. Just make sure the mesh is correct and tighten up the bolt real good.
My pinin gear will not fit in the center of the spur gear. It doesn't have enough room
What Pinyon and Spur are you running?
@@upgradedrc3697 I have the stock pinion gear and just the upgraded spur gear that's metal
Is your motor plate on correctly?
@@upgradedrc3697 probably not I couldn't find a video on how to put it on the way it came stock after I got a new motor

Can you please tell me what combination using there
I am running 16/46
Good morning man sorry to bother you can you please tell me which pinion gear can work with the 46 tooth spur gear in DOS tree motor mount hole

Never seen anyone fold the paper in 2. Wouldn’t that make it to loose?
Worked out great for me. A lot of abuse for a long time and still running the same gears.

Firestarter I to have been using the double folded paper since I seen this. I have to say it works like a charm!
Is the pinion gear suppose to move up and down or is it suppose to be locked into place with the spur gear
Definitely should be tight aginst the spur with only enough room to get the papper out.

@@upgradedrc3697 Yes, I’m using all the right screws but I forgot I had to tighten the pinion gear itself but I think I fixed it
Hello there is it better to change the spur gear to the metal one ?

Ok cool
Can you tell me every screw that I should log tight
Only the pinyon socket screw on the motor shaft needs loc tite. The two that hold on the motor do no need loc tite , just tighten them up.
@@upgradedrc3697 u should make a TH-cam video showing every screw on the car that you put loctite on
But thank you I will do that now your video was very very helpful

Yes, you'll just have to change the orientation from the motor to motor mount holes. There are 3 sets of holes, 2 of which are used for the original motor with small or large pinion and the last set of holes used for Large Motors.
That is the metal spur gear you using or the plastic
What is the biggest spur l can use will the 46t and the adapter
How do you set the gear mesh on a 4 x 4
I'm don't know which one you are referring to, but most 4x4s are the same.
How bout on a kaiju? Mesh setting.?
No
I hope by now you bought some real tools
