This is why I will never again buy or use any gear in an esk8 unless it’s steel.
The same can and will happen with steel if the backlash isn’t set correctly. Others that did it better than I, have literally thousands of kilometres on the same gears with no visible sign of wear.
It’s just a learning curve, like anything worthwhile.

Pretty much knew you lot don’t do technical terms too well, so dumbed it down a smidge.

Yeah, only I had mine like the just right example and lost teeth, so…
Set the backlash not too tight, if the wheel gear can wiggle just a tinge, it should be alright. Having it too tight might cause premature wear on the wheel gear.

Mine is now somewhere in between too tight and just right according to that thread.
Also, I’d much rather have some run-in period with slightly reduced life, than broken spur teeth.

IDK, but it doesn’t stuff up plastic so that helps!
Done. Sure hope I did it right.
