Hey whats going on guys, got a nitro rustler and it's making a sound I've never heard before. Almost sounds like a whirring type noise, Changed clutch shoes, spring and bearings and still there.

Little background on what I did before it started making this sound. I stripped pretty much the whole car to clean it and installed a couple new parts. Upgraded to MiP driveshafts and installed some aluminum parts and upgraded to Lunsford turnbuckles.

Local hobby shop told me the mesh might be off, so I tried to adjust and still no luck. What type of sound would off mesh gears make?

I wanted to post a lil video I made where you can hear noise but it doesent accept the video format that my phone records with.

Thanks in advance guys!

Upload a video to YouTube and post the link.
 
Is it the brake rubbing? If its not the brake, check the red pegs in the spurgear.

Is there any way to take a pic of the gear mesh?
