Re: Gear and motor problem

Make sure you didn't assemble one of the gears backwards. There are spacers that keep things from rubbing together the wrong way and making angry sounds.


You know how electrical parts like motors and speed controllers work because of magic smoke? And how if you let the smoke out they stop working? Mechanical parts like gearboxes work because of magic noise. Let too much noise out and they're going to quit.
