After hearing a lot of comments regarding the spur gears stripping in the Team Associated Reflex 14b and experiencing it myself, i took a hard look into why it happened, and i think I've found a solution!
Since I've done this, I havent stripped a gear, my buggy runs buttery smooth and strong with no problems. Take a look and let me know what you think.
Here is the video where you can see me swapping out gears (I left that part out of this video becaus it would be too long, right?) • How to Install Metal D...

The way I found about the gear mesh is to take off the motor mount and move it to another set of holes on the motor. If you look at the motor, the screw holes are not perfectly round, like the case, they are slightly offset in certain areas, by using the mount in a hole set that is closer to the smaller spur gear, you’ll mesh the pinion better and have the teeth to the mount better grab the motor so it won’t move much. I found this out by stripping a few gears.

Thanks for this. It's exactly what I did by accident before I knew to just turn the whole thing to adjust. I was all, this is mission impossible to guess what screw holes to use to get this lined up! 😂

@stevec9704 2 месяца назад

Yeah I did the same.

Very informative......I would also put a bit of fuel tubing on the both ends of center drive shaft ( have no play )

@bigbristv 2 месяца назад

Good idea! Thanks!

@RCRoads 8 дней назад

You did a great job showing and explaining everything in detail. Excellent video! 👏

@bigbristv 8 дней назад

Thanks again!

@jayhow997 2 месяца назад

If you've pulled the thread out of plastic you can put a slither of cable tie in the hole and it will bite like new

@bigbristv 2 месяца назад

Another great idea! I was wondering what could I put in there to get back the bite. Thanks!

@van_r2222 7 дней назад

U may drill 2 hole beside the motor and tie it with cable tie @@bigbristv

I've been running a 14MT really hard for about 6 months now, its been ultra durable except thatI have been through a pile of spur gears. I find that I cant use the 70t because it gets smashed when the extended gear cover flexes. Now I've smoked a motor, and decided to KV down to match my large tires and 58/16 gearing. Only killed 1 58 spur so far. Oh and my max speed was 54mph on 84mm MT tires. I think the gear mesh system really drags this platform down. It's not reliable, and as you say, varies with chassis flex. I would love to see an aluminum gear cover at least, to increase stiffness. And maybe longer screws? I really want another mini for my backyard track, but I'm turned off by the lack of fixes for gear failure..

Very astute! Perhaps they will hear our cries and release a 2.0

I'm on my second 14B. Great cars but they have their fair share of issues. I've had problems with spur gears and the internal plastic diff gears failing. Associated really need to put out an option for all metal gears and fixed motor plates like the Arrma Grom models. They have optional external metal gears for the F/R diffs which are completely unnecessary. Clearly they don't listen to feedback.

@bigbristv 18 дней назад

Yeah, there is definitely room for improvement. I was hoping the secondary market would run with that but...

@the-d-506 2 месяца назад

Yo!, cool uploads, been watching your vids, enjoying them too,...just wondering, does the parts you've been installing also work on the Reflex 14MT? the little monster truck variant.... also, could you list the parts you've been putting on your car? though I'm in the UK, should still be able to source them I would think. Cheers dude 👍👍

@bigbristv 2 месяца назад

Thanks! I'm not sure of the compatability across the models but what I did was went on the Amain site, searched "reflex 14b" scrolled and added everything to my cart. 😁 I'll add links to the description of this video right now, mate. Cheers!

@the-d-506 2 месяца назад

@@bigbristv Thanks for that mate, really appreciated😁 That's what I do as well, just keep adding everything to cart 🤣

One upgrade you need is to get Radiomaster MT12 the recivers are cheap and some dont even need an antenna. You can get a 4 in 1, that does other protocols so you dont nees to buy all new recivers. A ELRS module for long range for no fear of lost TX signal. The Spektrum DX5 Rugged is also nice but expensive recivers.

@bigbristv 2 месяца назад

Looking into it

@kanenstuff 2 месяца назад

@bigbristv you should the price is good if you only have 5 or so models best to get the ELRS version and buy new recivers. If you have more get the 4 in 1 and any new cars get them a ELRS reciver. People use this in drones and they can fly for miles and miles.

@bigbristv 2 месяца назад

@kanenstuff funny you should mention flying...

@kanenstuff 2 месяца назад

@bigbristv I love all forms of RC but buggies and cars are my favorite. Though flying FPV is a whole new world I'm sure you would like that.

@modzilla74 2 месяца назад

67 mph . That's impressive. And the spur gear probably just melted from all that speed

@bigbristv 2 месяца назад

Yup 😄

@@bigbristv I don't think it's mesh issue. I think it's a heat issue

@@bigbristv or friction if that works better for you. I think u just exceeded the performance limits of the gear material. Pretty sure that team associated didn't have 60+ in their plan when making that car. Ha,lol
