TT01E spur gear damage due to the use of improper screws

>> Tech Tip - Drive Train , Tech Tips >> TT01E spur gear damage due to the use of improper screws

On a TT01E, there are two screws which attach the upper deck to the gearbox cover.

If the screws are too long and you are using physically larger spur such as 58T or 61T, it is possible for the screws to damage the spur gear teeth. Therefore, after each installation or fixing you should always test spin the wheels BEFORE you actually try to run the car.
