TT01E MAKING A NOISE

[Carts]

Just been running my tt01e with its 12t motor in.only around 30 minutes.  Really does fly. However it’s started under braking from top speed to grind or make a crunching noise........ any ideas? Is it the gears? TIA

Sounds like your front ring and pinion is wearing allowing it to skip teeth.

At high speed when the brakes are applied hard it stresses those gears hard!!

I’m going to sound thick but the front ring in the front gearbox? Pinion connected to motor ?

Yes, ring and pinion in the front gearbox.

Diff ring and pinion connected to front drive cup which is at the front end of your propshaft.

If they arent metal already id suggest swapping to them. The TT02 suffers with the same thing

Found out what it was. The motor has come loose so tighten up the screws and booooooooooom fixed....
