That's the same gearbox that I posted only it has the larger 390 motors.

Are you certain the engine is perfectly parallel to the chassis? It looks like there's a difference. Personally, the gap between the chassis and the side doesn't bother me, but it's not easy to tell from a photo.
Is the box securely attached? Or is there any play in the mount or chassis?

There is play in the final drive gear but it's tiny, and still after moving them it will still be off.

Sorry for the lack of activtity, school and my job have been taking up much of my time and i have not been free much, well from what i found all the issues are gearbox related as after examining the gearbox on my Taigen tiger I i used that to fix the king tigers gearbox and it has worked. I also finally got the paint i ordered a month ago so i can fix it up. Thank you guys for all the help, i dont want my in-activivty to be like i just came here to get the help i needed then dissapear until the next issue occur's. Thank you all!!!!!!! Especially Herman Bix who i posted my tank to for a fix up.

I was not to sure either what it was, but simply unscrewing the gearbox and re-installing all the gears has made the turret stop getting caught on the gears and has stopped that horrid noise they were making. I also did a custom job of installing the heng long smoker in it with zip ties. Which i can send photos of in a sec for if anyone want to do this to their own tank!

Just discovered yesterday with my Taigen Tiger that the kingtiger that i was saying was having gearbox issues and the left was stopping early, was all because the track jumped the rear guiding wheel and i didnt need to buy a new anything i was just being way to fearful something bad happened. Well now i have a spare set of 380 motors and the new 390's for the king tiger.

I have had a look at the 390 motors and their power draw etc, and i have found a few sites with people saying their 390's are overheating their mfu thus buying a higher voltage battery is better such as getting a 8.4-12v instead of a 7.4v so less heat is created, wanting to know but do i need to buy MORE batteries as i have already bought 4 7.4v 5000mah batteries. Also any good suggestions for fans i could atttach to the inside of the tank would be good.
