Re: VEXPro Ball Shifter Shaft Malfunction

Please make sure to use loctite 609. We had a few shafts in early production that were not properly cleaned prior to bonding. This may be one of those shafts.

In any case, we will replace it if you can't fix it yourselves.

Re: VEXPro Ball Shifter Shaft Malfunction

We experienced the same thing today when testing our drive base on blocks. One shaft came out and the chains flew off....the other started coming out. Chains were in alignment. The back pair of chains were a little too tight, perhaps that's the reason.

We are thinking about machining a collar to grip the shaft to the shaft housing so our drivetrain will be worry free.
