Wired Engines Motor Gear

My Plarail Gordon is extremely noisy, and I want to know how to fix it. Someone said maybe it has a cracked gear, but I don’t have a spare to replace it. I know there are gears on Amazon, so could someone please send the link to me? If that’s not the reason he is noisy, please let me know what is the reason. I have attached a video.

JGStudios I have attached a video.

I can’t see it. Does Gordon still run OK, but is just noisy?

You would have to know which gear the noises are coming from since there are several gears all of different sizes and number of teeth.

I don’t see a video either.

Weird. I attached a video. Gordon runs ok but it sounds like his motor is straining.

Your description does not sound like a cracked gear. A cracked gear typically results in the gear being loose on its axle so the engine runs very jerky with loud clicking sounds, or does not go along at all.

I don’t know much about Cell Phones and Posting Video but is that what you tried to do when you said “Attached a Video” adding it to a Post from your phone?

I ended up fixing the problem. It turns out I pressed a gear too far into the rod.
