Krakens on Swerve

We purchased 14 tooth, 32 diametral pitch (DP) kraken x60 motor gears from West Coast Products to mount on our mk4 drive modules. We, encountered an issue properly fitting these gears onto the module shafts. There seems to be a slight mismatch between the gear where it looks like its really sharp and the drive gears which isn’t sharp that is preventing the drive gear to spin, its excessively tough.

If anyone has run into this same problem could you explain on how resolved it. We don’t really have the funds to buy the actual kits off SDS right now, and they’re not in stock so we are really trying to look at some solution that anyone has tried before jumping into anything

Could you verify the gear that you got? It should say 14-cd and 14t on it.

Oh, it looks like I mentioned the wrong number it’s actually 20 DP not 32 like I mentioned before

We do not sell a 14t - 32dp spline xs gear. Do you mean 15t?

If you have some pictures I can help ya out faster.

Sorry I actually meant the 14 tooth 20 DP gear

This one specifically

I hope that item from WCP will work. The SDS page says the Kraken kit includes “Gear, 20DP, 14T SplineXS Bore” so that is what i ordered from WCP. Our Krakens arrived today, the gears should be here tomorrow, so I hope they work!

Looks like it might be too big, it’s 16 cd while R.C. says we need 14 cd. Do we need item 1013 rather than 1014?

I think you have the wrong gear, for the stock SDS module if it is requiring a 14T gear you will want to use any 3 of these. Pat or someone else can correct me on this one?

If you have ordered the wrong gear, please send me a DM here with your order # and we’ll work to get you gears swapped so you can get up and running.

I can’t send dm’s because my account was just created so my trust level is too low, is there any other way I can contact you?

I created a group dm for you. Dunno if it works though

I don’t see anything marked as a message so, im not sure

My Trust level just update so we’re all good now!
@R.C
