V2 taigen steel gearbox
Hello members,
I'm reaching out for anyone that has had problems with this type of gearbox? Mine just blew out or shall I say spun a bearing! I'm looking to purchase if someone out there has any laying around or know where I could get them? I appreciate any help that's given! The overall size is 7.16 mm and the hole diameter is 6.0mm.....
Thanks

Hi. I believe rctank.de are selling shafts for this box. If that’s what you need.

I guess you need something else. I have these coffee grinder boxes on my shelf at home.
My only problem ever was that I snapped the pin on the pinion of the drive shaft once. Had to replace it with a nail.

Re: V2 taigen steel gearbox
Thanks bud for your funny response, but I don't think a nail is going to do it for me.... If that really worked for you? Man, I would really like to see some photos of that modification.

You can’t see very well but there is a nail from a hardware store in with flattened ends on both sides.

Re: V2 taigen steel gearbox
I confirm, for doing the same, what our friend said, why not work with a nail Do you think that the metal used by the Chinese children is the same as for a rocket for bearings, see on eBay or "Aliexpress"Shootermcgraw wrote:Thanks bud for your funny response, but I don't think a nail is going to do it for me....

As the old saying goes: 'a stitch in time... saves nine'. In this instance, it's a well-placed nail in time. Wonders and improvisation, will never cease.

Re: V2 taigen steel gearbox
In this scale in this hobby the metals quality is more important than its original purpose.
I use Tin cans for metal sheet and metal coat hangers for any number of replacement parts. A nail is made of high tensile steel, It has to be to withstand its initial use and its long period of service without failing.
If it can be hammered, cut to size, Tapped, drilled or soldered then I am interested in it no matter where it comes from.
Saying it is only a nail is missing the point (sic) of the value of the metals quality and its usefulness beyond that of it being a nail.

Re: V2 taigen steel gearbox
That's great ingenuity RenoirLV!
Thanks for your photo I can see where you would have put the nail now brilliant. Now I know if that happens to my gears that's what I'll use. Thanks for the Post

For all you other improvisionists....if that's a word? Thanks for checking in on this post I really do believe people will find whatever it takes in this hobby to make it work for the long run.
