Re: Drivetrain is Making a Horrible Noise

If rebuilding and double-checking the shoulder placement doesn't help, try replacing your bearings.

We had the same problem this year and it turned out we had a bad bearing.

Re: Drivetrain is Making a Horrible Noise

Ok I will try replacing the bearings. I have double checked that the the gears are facing the right way. Thanks!

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.
