Troubleshooting

Gearbox is noisy during operation

Ensure the gearbox is properly seated and all mounting screws are tight. Check for any obstructions around the gears.

RC car loses power or acceleration is poor

Verify that the gearbox is correctly installed and meshing properly with the motor pinion. Check for any binding in the drivetrain.

This could indicate internal binding or excessive friction. Check for proper lubrication (if applicable to your model) or potential internal damage. Ensure the motor is not overpowering the gearbox.
