B) Setting Tooth Backlash - Reely 1:10 EP Carbon Fighter Bedienungsanleitung

b) Setting Tooth Backlash

Check tooth backlash at regular intervals. Tooth backlash has to be adjusted at the latest when the electric motor, the
motor pinion or the main pinion is exchanged.
To do this, loosen the two fastening screws of the electric motor so that you can move the motor with slight pressure in
the direction of the main pinion. The cog/pinion cover needs to be removed prior to this.
The motor pinion and the main pinion now engage with one another without play.
Put a thin paper slip between the motor pinion and the main pinion. Then manually turn the main pinion so that the
paper strip is pulled in between the two pinions.
The pressure of the paper pushes back the electric motor as far as necessary. Now fasten the fastening screws of the
motor in this position.
When you turn back the main pinion afterwards so that the paper strip can be taken out again, both pinions will have
the necessary distance to each other.
Ideally, the motor pinion should be as close as possible to the main gear without the teeth touching and the
gears therefore being tight.
If the cogwheels (motor pinion and main cogwheel) are too far apart, the main cogwheel teeth will be
virtually shaved off by the motor pinion after a few seconds – this will void the warranty/guarantee!
If the motor pinion presses against the main cogwheel (teeth are running without play), this will decrease
performance, increase power consumption and lead to premature wear.
