Hi everyone,

I just received the TB EVO III (Surikarn Limited Edition) yesterday and I was busy building it almost all the night. It is great with all the red hop ups, titanium staff, etc. included!

I have few queries and will be grateful if you can comment on the following:

- When you assemble the gearboxes, do you have to put a lot of grease on the Bevel Pinion Gear and the Main Ring Gear or just little?

- Once you finish the gearboxes and install the Propeller Shaft, if you turn the shaft with your fingers, does it have to be really smooth? Mine seems to be bit smooth, but makes small cracking noise. Is it normal?

Thanks everyone!
Mine kinda had the same thing. I'm hoping it just has to break in some. I'm going to run a mabuchi motor with an old 3 or 4 cell battery pack and I'll let you know what I come up with.
