Significant weakness of the Manta Ray drive train

>> Tech Tip - Drive Train >> Significant weakness of the Manta Ray drive train

As can be seen from this photo, when the gear box cover cracks (which can happen quite easily), loose gears will result and will eventually lead to gear striping. Unfortunately, without a metal replacement this problem seems to be difficult to solve.

A temporary fix is to use super glue to a kind of glue back the pieces, then use a soldering iron to melt the plastic evenly.
