My Posts This: Topic Forum | Be glad you don't have a Vigor CS. Our Bevel gears are $48 a pop.
On the CS, if the gear mesh is not PERFECT, (still trying to get the definition of perfect), you'll wear/strip the gear out in the first couple of flights. JR says that tighter mesh is better, but on the CS the tolerance is VERY close. ITs either too tight, or too loose. You get a fraction of a MM to get it right, and the boom tightened down to keep it.
I'm not familiar with the mechanics on the Futura, but it sounds like the same type of problem. I've found on the CS that a piece of aluminum foil mashed between the gears sets the best mesh so far.
You could have also gotten a warped gear. Setting a proper mesh on the high spot would strip out the teeth on the lower spots as it rotates.
Hope this helps abit.
