Best Way to Set Gear Mesh on Arrma Kraton Talion Outcast Notorious Senton Typhon 

Loctite 262 threadlocker. I use it all the time for my ARs because it's Blue/Med strength but is also high-temp 450° rated. What I use on my motor screws and has held up so far

Ben doing this for years but catch myself watching all your vids,learn something here and there so it's a plus,thanks for tour posts,when I built my outkast watched your must haves,and it's been pretty bullet proof only breakage was wingmount,and front cvd due to cold weather 20 degrees and windchill:)

Good job, will be preforming this instal tonight

Top notch video my friend... you broke it down Barney style as to where I couldn't even mess it up... Thanks. Truth be told I was doing it the hard way.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you

Thanks for this very helpful video! Great clear closeups to show exactly how much gap there should be between gears! MU Kraton v2 is making some louder noises from that center drive gear - I will start by checking the mesh as I think it maybe too tight. Hope that is it.

Still a great video 2 years later. Using on my typhon 6s!

I have always used the paper trick, if the piece comes out like an accordion, mesh is good. If it tears, too tight. No accordion, too loose. Your method is easier to handle the motor. Adam Drake uses a more precise method.

about to change over the pinion on my Talion v3, thanks for the demonstration

Mesh is a success! Thanks brother!

Proper job 👌

great tutorial.... Thanks man!

I book marked it. Finally an informative Arrma video

Nicely done.

Beautifully done, now I know how to do it properly. 👍

Nice video,well explained and easy to do,thanks for sharing!

Well after I have set the mesh just like you it's make a noise when you give full throttle I have check all my gears there is no problem but can't seem to find the problem can you help please

I came here for that mesh knowledge...beautiful tick tok

Best pinion video! Thanks man!

thanks, mine got destroyed because it was too loose then I set it too tight. It looked fine when I meshed it but you can't see inside the transmission on the big rock, so once the spur is seated it's impossible to know if the mesh is ok

I would like to see a video on how to install hot racing spool in an typhon.

I only put loctite on the grub screw not the actual shaft of the motor? And I used blue.... That ok??

Hi do you give the spur gear and pinion some kind of oil?

So if i under this right THE mesh has to be in line with THE different gear and spur gears and the input gears run with the Differential gears i mean grind against each other so the Truck works properly but the input gear is plastic and grinds against the Differential gears which are metal so my gears stripp real fast or slowly against the metal differentials gears i guess it all depends on how hard i drive it and how fast and how many times i drive it whats the spur gears part when Running my 4s kraton 2400kv Motor fully stocked i have a spectrum smart charger and 2 spectrum Batterys 1s a mah 5000mah 14.8 50c THE other is a mah5000 14.8 100c Battery with 2 cooling fans 1 at the front and 1 At the Back of Truck with stx spectrum controller and SERVO its a stx 2 spectrum controller BUT right now as i write this to you my Truck is in the shop with gear problems the input gear that grinds against the Differential gears the spur gear i don't know WHAT plays in the Truck my Question to you is should i go All Metal gears and then shimm them This Avanced Truck is like brand New i bought it back in middle of May for $900Dollars and plus slipper Clutch comes loose After about 7 or 8 runs Iam a Newbie to this Truck just know the basics on fixing it but i want to learn a lot more so i can fix it myself when serious with it goes wrong so i would like to read and hear some Advice on what i should do with the gears leave them the way they are or go All Metal or Aluminum gears and shimm them i know Nothing is wrong with my driveshaft or Else i would be able to Drive it at All or steer the front wheels don't know if iam making sense just stressed out and tired so please Respond asapAnybody out there

Hot racing motor mount doesnt hold motor secure enough.. i have a 1680kv leopard motor an it couldnt handle the torque kept stripping pinions.. under torque the mount was flexing.. went back to factory mount an problem gone...

great video ...keep them coming....

Best way to strip screws is with red loctite, loads of people have complained to arrma about their use of red loctite. If you must use loctite use the blue stuff

how do you like those sweeps terrain crushers ??? what surface do they work best on for you ??? i have them as well as some pro line shock waves not sure which i like best yet...

What do you do when 2 of the screws on the bottom are rounded off from the factory?

Good Job 👍🏽

Thank you so much for video

Hi, i purchase a Senton 6S for Me and a Senton Mega 4X4 brushed motor for my son On our 1st run, and then the 2nd this morning, the brushed Mega 4X4 run for 10/15 minutes approximatively and then doesn't want to go forward or brake/reverse, the servo is still working i can turn the wheels right and left. i thought it was a battery problem, but with a fully charged battery the truck run for 10 seconds and then it happens again. I read on the internet that Senton Mega 4X4 have some issues on its esc. did you hear once that issue on brushed motor cause it's a brand new toy and my little boy seems so disappointed each time its truck looks out of order :/ thanks !

great tutorial...Was that the 1515 motor?

Cool stuff bro subbed ya 😎👊🏼

That is an insane amount of red loctite!

how you suppose to here the tick

so, you can put the pinion gear on either way? I saw you had it on one way, and took it out and reversed it...that is fine to do? this is a newb asking...

Good job. What motor are you running? I’m currently going through a major upgrade overhaul on my v3 Kraton. I was considering changing out the stock motor. There’s nothing wrong with it, but I thought perhaps I could improve it. I’m installing a MAX6 esc, and I was looking at the HW 4274 2200kv sensorless motor. When I went to my lhs they pretty much talked me out of it, stating it’s pretty much the same motor. I had the blx motor with me, and it’s identical in every way. Except for a slightly higher kv 2050 vs 2200. I use my Kraton more like a race buggy, chasing my friends around a dirt field or even a track. Not really into huge jumps, or high speed asphalt runs. Any advice would be appreciated. If I can’t come up with a good upgrade motor, than I guess I’ll continue to run the stocker.

Can’t hear the tick tock due to the music

You shouldn't do it like that. Just use the slid in motor mount. you're doing it all wrong that is the very difficult way of doing it your defeats the whole purpose of the slide and motor mount. All you do is just slide it in and feel for the mesh with your finger that's it. Gears will just have alittle play and u tighting them up. simple. nobody does It your way. If you look at the instructions in the manual it will tell you just to slid it in place. Very easy

You're making this entirely too difficult!!! All you need to do is purchase and install a Hot Racing style motor mount that has a lock down bolt on top and there you have it sports fans!!! Anyone running the factory motor mount, please do yourself a favor and listen to what I just said
