Unexplained pinion and main gear mesh
This is how my mCPX runs. Does not skip teeth as far as I know, main motor screwed in (original Blade motor not knockoff) and original main gear that is not stripped and has no play in any direction.
Yet I have this distance between the pinion and main gear. Frame is solid and not cracked either. Tried adjusting motor but theres no room for adjustments its a very snug fit. What are my options cause I can see how easy it is to strip main gear as it is. Thanks for any advice. |

The mesh in your photo looks too loose. Mine is much tighter and has been fine for over two years.
These are not adjustable. A new main gear may have a tighter mesh. If not, a new frame may have better alignment.

Take the motor out and rotate the whole thing 180 degrees and reinstall it. They may have drilled the holes slightly offset when this motor was produced and if so you may get better mesh.
Worth a try.
