Fixing a gearbox on an RC car is a skill that requires patience and the proper tools. Don’t be intimidated though, as the process only requires basic mechanical know-how. With a few simple steps, you can get your RC car running smoothly again.

Step 1: Locate the Gearbox

The first step is to locate the gearbox on your RC car. It’s usually located near the rear of the vehicle, underneath the body. Look for a black box with several gears and connections protruding from it.

Step 2: Remove and Disassemble the Gearbox

Once you’ve located it, you can remove it by unscrewing all of its screws. You can then open up the gearbox and begin disassembling it. Remove all of its gears, shafts, and other components until you are left with just an empty shell.

Step 3: Clean out Any Debris or Residue from Inside the Gearbox

Using an air compressor or compressed air cans, blow out all of the debris and residue inside of the gearbox. This will help ensure that there are no obstructions when reassembling it.

Step 4: Reassemble Gearbox Components

Now that everything has been cleaned out, start reassembling all of its components back into their original positions. Make sure to tighten all screws and connections securely.
