Well then... Loose pinion gear

[Caleb90]

Ran 2 batteries throught the rival yesturday. Let it sit over night to drip dry, today my kid and i went in to clean it. Spray down with silicone lube and check it over. I decided to pop the gear cover off for what ever reason and I'm glad i did. Pinion gear was loose on the motor shaft. When i popped the cover off it was only making 1/4 contact with spur gear. Luckly nothing was worn and was able to just tighten it down. Deff checking diff fluid next

Blue locktite. If it did it once, it will do it again. A dab with the soldering iron can help loosen it if your tools are slightly rounded or if worried it will never come off.

Hey, Caleb. Yeah, good idea to check the grub screw and gear mesh after every session. Blue locker recommendation by Chubaka is solid advice.

My sessions with the MT10 are generally short and low impact. For that reason, I've yet to use blue locker on the grub. Probably should. But so far, so good. Cheers. 'AC'

Happens to me and I used crappy super glue that drips everywhere and accidentally glues my gears together . They are freely moving now but I can't move the motor but I havent tested if it works yer since I'm waiting for parts.
