Hi guys
First time posting
Bought the v3 xmaxx 4 months ago
Up to now.... Great car apart from 1 seriously under thought design fault with the pinion gear and the motor shaft. The grub screw keeps coming loose, resulting in 50/60% of my outings being a frustrating failed waste of time.
I'm tightening the grub screw down as far as I possibly can on the flat side of the motor shaft, even putting locktite in the thread before and after the grub screw goes in, sure enough once that motor and pinion gear reach running temp it comes loose and spins off the shaft again. Such a good car when it's actually running, so frustrating when I'm going home after 15 minutes because it's failed again .
Anybody got any tips on how to keep this grub screw tight or another way to get the pinion to stay on the shaft.
This tiny grub screw has ruined my whole experience of the xmaxx up to now and at 2k for the car and batteries it wasn't cheap, to be faced with the same problem time after time is starting to ware me down
Pleaseeeee help
Thanks
Marty
