Release spring hint needed
good day
I need to open a Ver.2 mechbox but the spring is currently in full compression and the motor cannot circle it to release it. Is there a way to release the spring by hand? Thanks for your input Regards GRM7 |

With the motor out you can take a metal pick or cut a coat hanger and bend about 1/4" of the end 90 degrees and reach in and grab on to the anti-reverse lever and pull down. That should release it.

because with a weaker spring it would be easier to crack open the gearbox.... I've done it several times (open the gearbox when the spring is compressed)... and I have noticed the difference....
but ya nvm... Last edited by Gunny_McSmith; May 30th, 2009 at 13:44.. |

Or you can try to turn the gears by hand from outside the mechbox with a flathead screwdriver. Or you can stick a long thin something down the cylinder from the nozzle end and push the piston back until it springs forward again.

so far out of here, Nasa started tracking

Maybe something is broken and the gearbox is locked up?

Might just be that the spring is at the peak compression and the battery/motor combination just doesn't hae enough torque to turn over at this point of the cycle.
Throw on a bigger battery like a 9.6v large or a Lipo.

hello again
Sorry for the late reply. The spring is of unknown % but I know it is a hard one as the motor on it was able to move it till compression and then unable to cycle the last bit to release. I am running a 9.6V but I dont have a lipo on hand. the motor is a TM EG1000 Max hi-Torque I am not very confident to crack it open with the spring fully compressed so I will go for the Anti Reversal latch option. I will let you guys know how it went. Thank you very much for the input. Best regards GRM7 |

has this gear box been upgraded befor?
it could be that there is a bearing on the spring guide and on the piston head. if this is the case, than the piston is jammed due to the spring being fully compressed befor the piston got off the sector gear. like it has been said, try to remove the pistol grip/motor, than using an allen key/bent wire, or niddle nose players and pull on the anti-reverse latch. once you have released the spring you can safely open the gear box. i would highly suggest that you remove one of the bearing on either end, that way you wont run into this problem again. remember you only need one bearing set for the spring, either in the piston, or on the spring guide "not on both".

Hello there
The anti reversal latch release worked! I made a fish hook out of a strong paper clip and released it. Thanks again for the input I hope it helps others. Regards GRM7 |
