Hey all!
well ive had a bit of a break from modelling, not by my hand ofcourse!, started a new job and have been real busy (finally a paper pusher!!), but back to the point, ive started building the motorized tamiya VW Beetle for my girlfriend, and have a bit of a problem, the gears r slipping when i let it run... the chassis is pretty much finished, with the motor and steering in place, the only thing missing is the wheels...
it seems as if its the gears on the engine end, coz they dont slip when i apply pressure onto the "cage" (the part that holds all the gears down)... now i lubed all the gears up using the grease included with the kit and followed the instructions, but i still have this prob....
has anyone here had this prob, and how did u solve it?
im thinking of opening it up, and spraying some WD40 onto the gears, but i dont know if this will help..... also, could the prob b that i havent installed the wheels and the gold caps that go onto the axels?
thanks in advance!!!
