| I have many many hours on my tethered model. Compared to my wireless SR, it is whisper quiet! Make sure the pitch is adjusted properly and it will sing a tune.
Make sure your mesh is dialed in. You don't turn the gears to check mesh. You hold the motor pinion tight so it cannot turn, then wiggle the main gear back and forth against it to check for play. You want just a little play in the high spot of the main gear.
High spot? The main gears are unlikely perfectly round. So first you need to find the high spot on the main gears. So turn them (while stopping to check mesh properly) until you find the place where mesh is tightest. Mark this spot on the main gear with a sharpie so you always can set and check the mesh in that spot. After you find the high spot, set the mesh.
An occasional drop of oil on the bushing of each motor (tethered only) where the shaft exits, will do wonders for noise & motor longevity.
I bought new motors for spares and have yet to need them. |
