Re: Custom Gearbox is very loud

It seems that when the CIM body is moved a little the noise is far less loud, this drew us to the conclusion that the distances have to change, and we are now remaking the gears with the 0.003'' addition to the distances of the gears.
Will keep posting with results.

Sounds like that is probably the source of your problem. Honestly, the less you are able to move that CIM the better. If you are using 14T pinions, don't. Use 12T pinions so your center hole can be exactly .750" and your CIM will pilot correctly and you won't have this issue to worry about.
