zzmods--
Want to exchange TinyRC titles? I'll be a newbie and you be the pro?
I calculate a final gear ratio of 335.79 (I think you typed it in wrong, but your computations are in the style I was taught long ago). That should give you an actual ground speed of 0.078 mph with the green motor (4.992 mph scale speed) according to Rich Nagel's formula. You and Steve need to tell us how each of you did this!
Steve--
I picked up a tube of Loctite Threadlocker Blue and placed a TINY drop on each of the MT axle threads, then afixed the 2-mm hex nuts. It looks like they'll be even more secure now. It worked very well on one thread which had been cross-threaded by someone who must have been too excited.
The Loctite is expensive, there's enough for both you and me to keep our false teeth firmly attached when we're living in the home running our ZipZaps around our rocking chairs. Get the Blue version, it says mechanical force will break the bond. The red and green versions require heat to break the bond--and you know what that does to the wheels! I pickup up mine at Lowe's in adhesives/glue section.
