Re: Drivetrain is Making a Horrible Noise

Using the TBMini a year ago we had one that made a horrible grinding shrieking noise. We loosened the CIM motor bolts and applied pressure to pull it as far to the side as possible, making there be less pressure on the next gear. We then tightened the bolts and the noise was greatly reduced.

Using other TBMini gearboxes in the off-season we've had similar noisiness.
