    Hello and thanks for the response racer1 ;) i have disassembled the gearbox again as i couldnt sleep thinking about it hehe. The pinion gear is 18t. I counted it again. It is the original that came with the hornet. Btw the hornet was bought second hand, but from my friend who build it from new in his childhood. So everything was stock and nothing was ever replaced. Before selling it to me, it was running much quieter etc. I dont know if its the ball bearings, the sports tuned and all these kind of stuff, or the hudy graphite grease which i read that it has particles in it, and probably not good for plastic gears. Anyhow, i opened the gearbox again, and i confirm that everything looks okay. Here is also a picture i took just now.

    Anyhow, i checked also the small screw on the pinion gear and screwed again on the motors flat surface as per the responses i got, and i also glued the rear tires as they felt like sleeping when i was holding the plastic rim. I will run ti probably tomorrow and see how it goes. Comparing that mechanically i changed the msc and silver can  and plastic bearings, to hobbywing 1060 esc, black tamiya sports tuned and ball bearings, the only other change inside the gearbox was the hudy graphite grease. I believe at the end, this could be the issue, if the above dont solve it. 

    Also, i forgot to mention, that, when i was hitting brakes, the hornet didnt stop instantly, instead it was like slightly reducing speed until stopping, just like an old beetle car that doesnt grab brakes instantly. Probably it was the unglued tires?

    Thank you all for your patience and your kind help :)

    Hello again, and thank you for your responses. I have taken out the pinion gear and i have reinstalled it making sure that the screw sits on the flat surface. I have also glued the rear wheels. I will again try to run it tomorrow and see the results. I am sure the small join pin and the differential shaft and all small stuff are there. About the pinion, if i counted correctly i think is 19t instead of 18t which comes with the hornet? ill see in the morning if i counted correctly cause i was watching juventus at the same time and i think i may have counted wrong :P if its not 18t ill get the robinson that suits the sports tuned motor. emm and probably i will again reopen the gearbox tomorrow and confirm that everything was installed correctly, for the 5th time :P

    Thanks guys for your help. ill let you know how it goes

    Hello. I have rebuild my tamiya hornet and i have ran it two times so far. I have a hobbywing 1060 esc and its ball raced and has a black sports tuned motor. The issue is that it seems there is a power loss and a weird noise, like a zzzzzzzz :D on the air it sounds okay and it spins great. On the road, i punch forward and seems the noise is faster than the move, like its slipping. I thought it was the rear wheel adaptors but those were okay. I also took apart the gearbox and all gears, diff and all pins and stuff were okay and present. Now cause i bought it second hand and it was my first time building it, i didnt have the tamiya grease, so i used the Hudy graphite grease. I didnt follow the manual, but instead i put a generous amount of the grease in all gears etc, until they all became black :P Would this be the issue? and if yes, can i clean and reuse the parts? gears, counter gear, diff etc? can i wash them with water and let them dry? how do i clean them? and should i use again that graphite grease or should i get a tamiya grease? if i cant find one, what other grease can i use?

    thank you all
