How to prevent Revo input gear from stripping...?

Hi ZPB,

Sounds like you're running into the same thing that I encountered with the E Transmission. A couple of things that you might consider is sealing the case up with silicone around the edges, using sealed bearings in all the external locations and running a wet lube setup.

I believe if you set your mission goal to eliminate frictional heat and the ability to get rid of the heat that is generated. You will see alot of improvement in the longevity of your gear setup.

I have a Revo that I plan to convert to Electric, but since I'm still rounding up my parts, I haven't taken anything apart yet.

Here's a thought that I had concerning disappating internal tranny heat. Is there a way to install an aluminum or copper plate to act as a heat sink?

If there is, with a wet lube setup, the oil splattering around in there will carry the heat to the plate, then the plate will pass it to the outside where a fan or fins could be used to pass air. An "oil cooler".

I know your passing alot of power through that hot setup you have. I've been admiring your work for a long time. Let me know your thoughts.
