Turnigy 1/16 Spur Gear - Part no. 110BS-30985

thingiverse

Replacement Spur gear for the Turnigy 1/16 buggy and monster beetle replaces easily with an alternative option. The replacement is necessary because the original gear often required precise pitch settings to operate effectively, requiring significant time and effort to get right. Once optimized, this new spur gear maintains a precise pitch of 52.493 and outer diameter of 30mm. Its optimal angle has been set at 10 degrees for superior performance. Unlike its predecessor, this replacement gear measures 1mm thicker, yet still accommodates the same width as the pinion gear at 5mm. Moreover, an additional 1mm offset ensures proper compensation for added width. UPDATE: Alternative options are available with upgraded nylon materials that exhibit better durability and strength in printed forms. By strategically enhancing the center of this new gear, flexibility due to material properties is eliminated without sacrificing structural integrity. Testing suggests it successfully prevents rigidity from compromising overall gear performance, resulting no failures during usage yet. Be certain when printing with nylon use Cura, rather than sli3er software, which can hinder tooth accuracy on the spur gear. The printed form prints exceptionally well in ABS using 0.3mm layers at reduced speed due to finer tolerances. It achieves better quality results by limiting printer speeds to sixty percent during initial stages and raising to full speed afterwards proves unnecessary. Conversely, high-speed print attempts yielded few misshapen outcomes; thus, slow pace helped. When replacing this gear on your buggy, do not overlook spacers near the slipper clutch plates when assembly takes place – this allows for more space needed by offset and permits proper clearance around the motor mounts also prevent over tightening because that gives an allowance allowing for more gear life span by lowering stress forces involved and one must not ignore checking distance gap left between pinion spur as setting too loose usually contributes to initial breakage of gears go ahead and look up appropriate video tutorials. So far, these have endured without significant wear.
