For other teams to identify potential failures before they happen, would you mind expanding on the circumstances that led to the failure?
Specifically:
- Wheel Size?
- Overall reduction in gearbox?
- Any additional reduction after the gearbox?
- Did the failure happen while driving on flat ground, or as a result of an impact?
We noticed a similar failure (but in a 14 tooth), that can
probably be attributed to sudden impact combined with materials that don't have impact resistance as a strong point.
There's quite a lot of good learning (and fun!) to be had going down the failure root cause analysis road.
