~apologies for replying to an older thread~

 

I have had the exact same thing happen to 3 Stampedes of mine and i believe it could be from a portion of the shell wearing out.

 

I tested this by replacing all internals with new internals without the problem going away. After putting the internals from the broken Stampede into a new shell suddenly it works fine again.

 

I still have not been able to fix the other shells so its onl a matter of time until the problem develops with all my stampedes.

 

HAS ANYONE FOUND THE TRUE CURE?  my guess is a part of the shell needs to be reinforced somewhere.

replies would be very very appreciated!

I wouldn't even trust laser-cut gears for that kind of use. Get them from a proper manufacturer. 3d printed metal is going to cost more and preform worse than manufactured gears. Finding correct ones will be tough, but shouldn't be impossible.

Holy smokes, looked at the links. $55 for a gear?

each metal gear should be around $15 because the largest one is the strongest and doesent need to be replaced.
Im receiving prototypes in the mail soon and will post photos of new gears and a new stampede catch plate i made.

the gears in the center are stainless steel. the ones on the ends are hard plastic
