how tight is the mesh on titanum spur?

[gta18]

hi, i Just stripped my clutch bell 15t with the titanum spur 49t. How tight should it be? i have the stock 25. please advice. thanks.... i thought with the titanum spur i would have no more to replace. If it still mess up my 13t clutch bell i think i would go back to plastic spur. puke:


thanks man...

when you put the new CB back on run a ziplock bag trough the gears and if it rolls through nice you got it right

i get the mesh right whenever i mesh the old plastic spur. but now i meshed it twice already with 14t and 13t cb but still stripped out the cb, does this spur really strip cb. is there any titanum cb available there?

Setting the mesh properly is one thing. Making certain that it stays is another entirely.

Here is how I set my mesh:

"From another SkyMaxx post"

Setting gear mesh is very important to the longevity of both gears and the components driving and being driven by the gears.

Here's how to do the mesh check.
1. Loosen the screws that hold the motor mounts to the chassis plate (don't take them all the way out).

2. Make sure you have both spur gear and clutch gear on properly (since you've mounted the spur and the clutch is attached to the motor, you probably have little to worry about here).

3. Take the plastic bag that the spur gear came in (a ziploc bag will work just as well) and place one thickness of the plastic between the two gears.

4. Push the motor back into place so that the two gear compress on the plastic.

5. Tighten the motor mount screws (making sure that the motor mounts are as square to the chassis as possible...you want the gears to have as even a surface to surface contact as possible).

6. Pull the bag out. The gears should rotate freely and mesh together just right.

Hope this helps...

As for maintaining it, that requires a little loctite on engine mounting screws to make certain that the engine does not slide out of alignment. The engine moving is one major cause for chewing up spur and/or clutch bell. A bent chassis is another reason.

Make certain you are setting the mesh properly and check to make certain it stays that way.

You don’t tell what brand the titan spur gear is but i guess it is the GPM sine it’s the only one I have seen.
And if it’s the GPM I will say the reason you are stripping your CB are because of the poor construction of the spur gear.
GPM makes a lot of good products but there gear wheels, both internals and spur gear, sucks!! If you compare the tooth on the hpi and gpm gear you will see a huge difference, and the shape on the gpm gear some way “eat” it self and the counter gear to scrap

Here is my gear box after 3 month with the GPM titan gear, every thing was new so there was no wobble ore bend axels to cause this other then the poor mesh of the GPM gear

titanium dust all over the inside of the box

yup its the gpm. i noticed that too after the 2 cb that i stripped.... gpm sucks...:sniper: :sniper: :sniper:

yes i have the new HPI light weight gear on order, so i hope they are better, the cost only 10 $ instead of 23$ for the gpm

the whole set of tranny gears? how much did it cost total?
