I’m trying to make an arm rotating on a high strength shaft, but when the shaft rotates, the weight on the gear is greater than the rigidness/the hole space of the gear, so the gear will just twist onto the next side of the high strength shaft.
Can I use some kind of substance to fill in the extra space between the shaft and the gear and/or reinforce the gear’s hole?
If so, what substance could I use?
There are high strength spaces. They are like regular spacers but wider and with a bigger hole.
I’ve never heard of this happening… pics would be nice.
if you really wanted to fill up the extra space you could maybe use washers, though its probably better to solve the root of the problem rather than trying to make it work.
I believe @Recharged isn’t talking about spacing along the length of the shaft, but the shaft having wiggle room inside the gear, based on this:
oh in that case i would just double up the gears and screw them together
You can try the high strength lockbars from Robosource.net. Here is the link: Soft Stretch Rubber Bands, Size 64, 100 pack - Robosource.net
There are different lengths depending on the gear size you use.
r those legal for vrc use
Yeah that’s it

They are cut from the 1x25 steel bars, so they are legal.
Which kit do you have, if you have the superkit that comes with the HS shaft spacers.
I think we had similar situation earlier.
We solved it by adding standoffs between the 84 and 60t gear (as shown in the photo). This provided another point to connect / support the 60 and 84 tooth gear.
Hopefully that helps
