Arrma 3s BLX Spur Gear & Slipper Clutch Maintenance. Granite Senton Big Rock Typhon Vorteks how to

Hi all
One thing I hadn't covered in my previous Arrma maintenance/how to videos is the spur gear and slipper clutch so I cover it here.
I also change the motor plate for one with set holes while I'm in there.
Hope this is useful to someone.
Many thanks for watching :-)

Just remember a importen note: Harder you tight it, more stress to the sprut gear! if you love speed and have that truck lift front wheel when hammer that gas, Then have a metal or seel sprut gear. plastic gears can allso do just as good but then less tight so the gear can move some when you hammer that gas down ;)

Just heard grinding and had a lack of power so I was pretty panicked, but you helped me find that I had the opposite issue (gear mesh knocked too loose). Thank you for your informative and entertaining content!

Thanks for the video Pete . Went to test out my new servo today ( followed your servo video ) and exploded my spur gear or the slipper . Thanks again for these great, easy to follow videos, they are priceless for us newbies .

Awesome. Exactly the info I needed to tighten the screw. Fully tight and then back 1.5 turns. I am upgrading my brushed granite from the 91 toothed spur to the 57. Spur assemblies are completely different.

Best video I’ve seen on rebuilding the spur I’ve watched so many and have never been able to get it just right, Great video

SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO I have a Arrma Big Rock & was completely stuffed if I could work out how to remove the motor assembly to replace the slipper clutch that is now rooted.

I’m currently making this upgrade to my son’s granite. Thank you for posting excellent info and clearly presented.

Great how-to demo Brother 👊. I haven't disassembled my V3 slipper yet. Nice to see ARRMA keeps improving the finer details. This vid will be super helpful for lots of people out there. 🍻😎💪👊👊

Thanks for information I work on my Big Rock 3s So now I understand why it doesn't work.Now I fixed it 🙏 Can't wait to drive it 😊😊

you just got me out of a bind fixing this slipper clutch.. THANK YOU

That's a good idea. Greasing that little area around the open hole where the gear is showing. One of my motor bearings started to fail. Now I have to learn to dig a little deeper in my Senton. Great vid!

Great information. Really love that you mentioned the loctite on the motor plate screws and the grease under the power assembly. I bent my motor plate today and it chewed up my stock plastic gear.
The installation and removal of the motor unit is incredibly annoying. Where I bash out here in the desert the sand gets all up underneath it and into the gear box and makes it a huge pain to install and remove it plus all that sand in your gearbox is terrible. Great tips definitely earned the sub

Hiya Pete! Anther great wrenching video, very informative, mate! Very wise words, if it's making a strange noise, best to stop running and take it home for a look - running any longer and you're asking for trouble! Those Arrma's look really well made and well thought out. One day I will have to get one! Good call on the new motor plate, that makes a lot of sense.
Anyway, good news is I have a snow day tomorrow, so some beer tonight and a nice lie-in! All the best mate, take it easy and have a good week! :O)

Great tutorial, well done 👍 This will be a big help to people new to the Arrma lineup. I will say that I prefer the adjustable motor mount though, much finer adjustment for more precise gear mesh. With the pre-set mount, even a slight bend in the mount and the mesh will be off, with no way to adjust it (short of bending back the mount).

Great tutorial from my guru. That should hold better now that you've got fixed pinion position on the motor plate. Keep safe and well😉😁👍

A rock got stuck between my motor and shaft. When you remove the drive shaft by pulling spring back I see the small black cup left of clutch. Does that just slide off? Part # ara311033 mine is melted and grinder up. Or do you have to remove clutch guard to install

[sbass]

If you take the little red wrench like thing and insert it into the output shaft then roll the car/truck it will wind the screw in or out depending which direction you roll.

[RallyandTrail]

Good job, jobbed mate 👍 I’ve never actually changed a spur gear so this will come in very helpful if and when 👊🙂

[wjh..rc.addictionrc]

Thanks Pete great video I have just done mine so I will be out testing soon thanks again for your help...WILL

[skiller]

really useful tutorial to help open this motor differential and close it knowing "where that screw was supposed to go", thank you! I was just wondering where can I buy this useful spur gear, or is it original?
