Is there a tip for getting it to fit tightly on a Neo? I find it’s too loose. I have permanent and removable types of loctite but i am not sure if that would be enough. Any insight would be great.
The above linked gear is the correct one.
There is a writeup on this different pinion gear page describing the procedure, but yes, red “permanent” loctite is sufficient. Make sure the shaft and gear are as clean as possible and let it cure before installing in the gearbox.
I use loctite 603 bearing retaining compound. It is green, but permanent and in the high strength category. Don’t confuse it with the green thread locker. The Screw retaining compounds like 271 are for looser fits. If Nathan says they work, they probably do. He certainly has more direct experience with Sport Maxes.
It is hard to get the press fit right on small parts. It seems that some of the Neo shafts are undersized.
We cleaned the shaft and inside of the pinion well, and press fit the pinion on the Neo this evening with some high strength off brand loctite. We’re letting it cure over the weekend and we’ll assemble it Monday. We plan on fitting it to a cim sport 64:1 gearbox. This is my first season using Neos and brushless motors. Is there a current limit we can safely set to keep this motor in tact? It’s attached to a 16:64 sprocket ratio so our intake arm should move very smoothly. It might be slow much we’re in the stage of making it work first before we make it faster. I hope the team can learn how to use the integrated encoders too. We can set limits rather than just timing it like past years.
