FIXED!! Arrma Gorgon Gear Noise - You can fix it too!

[@joelhodge9728]

Hey Troy, I was lucky enough to land a Gorgon months ago. I love it. Indeed, I went thru the same process. These little rigs take a lot of abuse and are SO fun! Thank you for the video, hopefully there will be more Gorgon folk around soon!

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! Glad you are enjoying it.

[@V8chump]

Dude the Gorgon is the most fun I’ve had with an RC yet. I’ve got a bunch of brushless cars, even got a brushless 2wd slash, still doesn’t compare to the fun of this 2WD rig! Honestly 2wd is a ton of fun

[@maartos569]

How awesome. Same noise after my son bashed it in the skate park.Took the whole thing apart. Could not find a thing, started looking on YT and found this video and behold. Took it apart for nothing! Haha. Thanks for the video!!

[@RoadsideRC]

You and me both!! :) Glad this helped.

[@flightofthebearflightofthe9768]

Lifesaver! This was the fox for my son’s Gorgon…well done to you sir!

[@RoadsideRC]

Glad it helped! Have fun!

[@rickrogers2649]

Thanks for the tutorial Troy. I just got one of these and I LOVE this thing. What a deal this truck is.

[@RoadsideRC]

Agree 100%!!! It is a great value, and a blast to drive!

[@1sickgsx]

Just picked one of these up! Stoked to see you have content for it!

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! I need to drive it more. It is surprisingly fun!

[@rcpete7055]

Thanks i just bought a Gorgon 👍 are you going to upgrade any parts? Not seen many upgrade videos..🎉

[@RoadsideRC]

I am honestly waiting on it to break first...but it just won't!!! :)

[@davea6975]

Thank you, this was a big help!

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@AntRocker]

This is good advice watching this because when i go to upgrade my gorgon i know what to look for

[@RoadsideRC]

Glad to help!

[@michaeldorich4485]

Very practical and useful tip.

Thank you!

Nice work, Dude!

Thanks!

thanks Troy! These trucks are awesome

[@RoadsideRC]

I agree! Thanks!

You goin to the Slyde factory drift event this Saturday!!! I will be there

Unfortunately not. My son has a track event all weekend. Boo!

[@maxeriousbrooks9807]

I was yelling at my TV from the second I heard it MESH and the deeper you went i I got louder lmao sorry to say I knew you were wasting your time going deeper good to show people how to take it apart thou

[@RoadsideRC]

Ha! Smart that you knew before I did!

[@aubuchongr]

Great video, helped with same problem. Thank you

[@RoadsideRC]

Awesome! Glad it helped!

[@simonrw75]

Help! it just stopped working. Like no power in the car. Is there a video for basic electrical fix. Thank you in advance.

[@RoadsideRC]

Unfortunately, there could be MANY options for what is happening here. 1) The battery is fully charged? Double-check. 2) Replace the batteries in the controller. 3) Ensure all wires are connected. It is easy for some to come unplugged.

Mine just did that, thank you for making this video

[@RoadsideRC]

Glad it helped!

[@NekoDavid]

THANK YOU!!!! I KEEP HAVING THIS PROBLEM. This damn truck just keeps giving me issue after issue. I'll play with the mesh. I've also got a new spur gear (it was like 5 bucks). I think the mesh being off might cause it to wear badly

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes - poor mesh will 100% make it wear badly.

[@Carlos-ip2ir]

Starting to happen on my arrma vortek i noticed the noise immediately and worried haha going in to tey and adjust

[@RoadsideRC]

Good luck!!

[@Carlos-ip2ir]

@RoadsideRC turns out tiny rocks can get stuck in the gearing just at the bottom cleaned it out and went 4x4 on the vorteks see how it works if I lost to much speed I will gear it

[@lukemiller7143]

That motor shifts when you hit hard head on. Has happened to me several times, just have to adjust it back the way it's shown in the video.

[@RoadsideRC]

Yep! That is what happened!

[@ChronicRC]

Hi, I’ve managed to strip out one of the motor mount screws and now with every little knock the pinion slips, any tips for a fix? Many thanks

[@paulmaldonado7039]

My motor burned out, not sure about brushless 😢 messed up my voltage and servo.

[@RoadsideRC]

Interesting. Usually a motor burning out wouldn't have any impact on a servo. You may have something else going on.

[@videos-ik2vw]

I'm having the same issue but for some reason one the screws will not come loose to adjust it

[@RoadsideRC]

Is the screw stripped?

[@timmytfpv7316]

looking to get one can you gear it up a few teeth on the 2s lipo for a lttle more speed

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! You sure can!

[@exoC2]

I have this exact sound but the mesh is perfectly fine. Bizarre. Ran at the track 3 times, it's noisy but zero problems. No clue.

[@RoadsideRC]

Interesting! You may want to tear it apart and find the issue before it gets worse.

[@amberwilliams9950]

I’m not finding many spur gear options for the gorgon . Does anyone know spur gears that cross reference or whole Slipper clutch sets that will work With the Gorgon ?

[@RoadsideRC]

Hot Racing makes a steel spur - that is my plan if/when I ever strip the factory spur gear. This is it: alnk.to/1N2ARKV

[@amberwilliams9950]

@@RoadsideRC thanks I’m looking for a smaller size than the 61t tho

[@paulmaldonado7039]

Hey Troy,? will a 3s battery on my gorgon speed it up? Vegas Paul here 😎

[@RoadsideRC]

It sure will! It will reduce the lifespan of the factory brushed motor as well - but brushed setups die rather quickly in bashers anyway.

[@paulmaldonado7039]

@@RoadsideRC it's ok brushed motors r cheap.i buy a couple of them for all my two wheel truck's.

[@Micah_2315]

I have an rc that makes the sound when I let off the acceleration and apply the brake. Amma look at the motor and Hopefully this helps me with mine

[@RoadsideRC]

Good luck!

[@SleekHobbies88]

Yes definitely is useful, thanks

[@RoadsideRC]

Glad to hear it! Thank you!

[@owen8538]

Hot racing do a gr8 alloy motor mount for these waiting for my 1

[@RoadsideRC]

Good suggestion!

[@owen8538]

@RoadsideRC just waiting for the spektrum motor 3200kv 5mm 3s gonna try fit 18t pinion hopefully fits ok without rub on plastic cover I been in rc very long time just getting back into it love to see 1 8 version of the gorgon exactly as these love it simple work on

[@SaipanDojo]

Hi guys I have a problem and wondering if I can get some help? Should I buy the ARRMA gorgon or should I buy wlt 124008 ? I live in Sweden and the wlt is like 120euro and the gorgon is like around 200!

[@RoadsideRC]

Hello! Those are two VERY DIFFERENT vehicles. The answer really comes down to where you want to drive it, and how you want to drive it.

[@kahstuhh]

Thanks bud

[@RoadsideRC]

Glad it helped!

[@jalee6587]

I would hand tighten the motor screw to "feel" the tightness i dont trust drivers with that you cant have a feel. Its either too tight too loose or just right but you dont really know.

[@RoadsideRC]

That is solid feedback! I don't show everything here to save time - but forget that sometimes it leaves out important information. Thanks!

[@SuppleBun]

ah dang it! good learning experience though!

[@RoadsideRC]

Yep! I made it hoping it helps someone!

[@billyb5057]

well done finding and fixing the problem *🦘Au🦘💯full view always📺thumbs up👍😎*

[@skyhawk21]

Paper trick works because it holds it back while tightening down

[@RoadsideRC]

I have not found it to be repeatedly provide a mesh that I liked. But - sure provides a good starting spot!

[@guymarotta2596]

I love my Gorgon. Arrma rules!!

[@RoadsideRC]

It is a surprisingly good truck!

[@NathanStorer]

You should throw a proper gyro in it and see if it'll drift that garage track haha

[@RoadsideRC]

I have thought about it - it has pretty good steering angle...

[@SpAcE-gAdGeT]

would have checked that mesh first

[@RoadsideRC]

You clearly would have gotten to the answer first!
