If you decide you want another spool, I have a brand new one as shown:

here are some detailed instructions of how to fix a spool -- along with some compounds better than CA

I just fixed mines. Went to Napa Auto parts. Green loctite costed about $7.50. its very thin green liquid.. per instructions it cures in 24 hours. Works like a dream.. spool looks brand new and i cannot even see the glue.

I don't think those fixes will work for me.. It's pretty apparently as when it's pushed all the way back i can spin it freely.. So room has to made up between gear and housing.. Also it's not very easy to come off, it's very tight when trying to take it off but loose when it all the back to the lip to stop it.... How does the front way work in stock... I have one that I got in a package deal ... Just never used it...

I'd be willing to bet the Loctite 648 would still do the trick. It's an incredibly powerful industrial bonding agent. I'd suggest to pull the ring gear back, clean up the mating surface with a soft wire brush, apply the 648, push the ring gear into place, then spray or drip the primer onto the gear. The primer, from my experience makes the 648 dry very quick. Putting it on afterwords is sort of like an accelerator for CA.

Hope that helps!

CA can temporarily get you thru the day but it doesnt really stick to metal that well. The loctite retaining compound is more permanent. It is also designed to fill gaps. Like stew said, clean the surfaces, apply and let it sit. If you dont have primer it will take a couple days to fully cure

My racing buddy has the same issue with his that came off and spins freely but upon further inspection the ring gear has actually split between the teeth. Would the mentioned epoxies work well enough to keep that together as it seems no one has them instock. Kind of ticks me off too since I just bought one myself and for the price of the cars you would think every part would be instock. Or is this a weak link type part and everyone has broken them and that is why they are out of stock. Other than short parts supply the car has been very good for me just a bit of a learning curve after having belt cars for such a long time.

I would probably just replace it at that point. Even if it could stay together the split would likely break the input gear.

Every once in a while that happens, but it isn't often. I have a spare just to be safe. I havent heard of this happeneing on the newer style spools yet (at03ms).

Its just bad luck awesomatixusa doesnt have them in stock, i believe he sent some in a parts care package for awesomatix drivers for the us indoor champs race happening this weekend. Im sure he has already reordered. He is generally very good about keeping parts in stock

Speaking of which, for any awesomatix drivers going to the us indoor champs this weekend, since hanulec is not going i will have a care package of parts available if anyone needs anything

I've a problem with spool axle AT03 in my new A700 Evo

The St07 outdrive spins freely with AT03 spool axle after about two months of life.
Thank you.

They are just pressed in. The new spool the outdrives screw on. I bought the new style spool and the outdrive broke after I was forced into a board. I guess it's better because I just ordered outdrives. The bad part it was on my first run with new spool. I was upset for a bit. Put in gear diff and made it through the day. The spool on the A700 imo is the weak link of this car. But I will take it over all the other cars many weak links. Jmho
