The 5G Gear Box is an experimental option designed exclusively for skilled, high-competition customers who prioritize performance over reliability. This part is not recommended for those who seek reliability as their primary concern. There is no guarantee regarding the lifespan or resistance to wear and stripping of the gears. The extreme settings of the electronics, especially with aggressive brake settings, have a negative effect on the lifespan and reliability of the gears. Users of the 5G Gear Box do so at their own discretion.
To increase the lifespan of the gears, it is suggested that they be regularly lubricated with #106210 – HUDY Graphite Grease. It is recommended to fully grease all internal gears after every hour of operation.
To further increase the lifespan, the slipper should not be overtightened, which means the front tires should lift only slightly when setting up the slipper according to the XB2 instruction manual.
