As previously mentioned my buddy and I have been having issues with the 1st and 2nd gear housing and spurs. Yes, we realize one is left hand thread and the other is right hand thread but they should not be this difficult to remove and change gears. It's as if the aluminum is fusing together between the nut and threads. Is anyone having issues with these and does the Kfactory set work better? I have had the car for 2 weeks and made the A-main my first time out but stripped my first gear spur on lap 37. I was running a Kyosho RRR Evo before and the G4RS straight out of the box with factory settings seemed to fit my driving style perfectly. If I can get this spur gear issue solved it would be great. Any advise???

Make sure the motor is not moving on you.
There has been a problem with the screws used being too long bolting down the engine to the mount.

It's only very slight, maybe less then 0.25mm !
But enough to make the engine feel tight, but when ran it can move causing the stripping of gears.

Other then that......pay close attension to the way the nut and housing go over the spur gear. Sometimes they feel as though they are well seated when they are not.

I hear you !

I use a 19mm combination spanner to get the nuts on and off with no problems, but I must admit,they were hella tight out of the box - had to borrow a buddy's TM tool to get them off

You mentioned stripping the nut off the housing. Did you replace everything or just the nut and gears? Do you have a part number for the duro gears referenced above and have you used the Kfacory 2nd gear housing or 1st gear oneway? I'm looking to correct the only issue I'm having with the kit.

Hi All:

There is an issue with the 2 speed nut. We were skeptical at first since it is a left handed thread and factory assembled. In an effort to get to the bottom of the problem we opened two cases of kits and found that every one had the same problem. So here is what we are offering to do for everyone who has purchased a G4RS in the US and everyone internationally who purchased a G4RS from Wolf Hobbies. If you send us your defective 2 speed assembly P/N 502111 and spur gear, we will send you a FREE replacement 502111 and spur gear. All that we ask is that you pay for shipping. If you enclose a check for $5.00 (international shipping will be more so contact us first) we will get you the replacement via priority mail. If you plan to place an order just send us the defective part and ask us to email or call you when we get it (make sure you enclose your contact info). When you place your order we will enclose your new parts without any extra shipping cost.

Thank you

Wolf

Wolf,

Team Magic will be present at the 1st race of the Lonestar Series here in San Antonio, Texas. Thanks for the parts. We had 2 Team Magic cars in the A-Main at the Speedline Grand Prix in Houston, Texas last weekend. Several sponsored drivers took a close look at our G4RS kits and were quite impressed. One of the sponsored 1/8 drivers even took one out on the track and he loved the way the car drove. We'll do our best this weekend and let ya know how it goes.

Regards,
Daniel

would i be able to upgrade my mongoose G4 into a G4S?

if you get a 3mm chassis of X4, then you wont have to drill a hole in the mongoose chassis for the bell crank steering. apart from that , everything off the G4Rs will also fit, apart from the back plate and rear lower hinge pins of course.
