maintain?
lol I ride it so rarely that I dont have to 🤣
Litteraly every time I posted here after riding, are the amount of times I rode.
And the packs (5000mah) I use per ride, are also very limited.
First time, two packs.
Than again two
I bought another 2 packs and first time after that I...
Had some good fun on my local track yesterday, and there was a lot of action too
However, my car suffered damage, again....this time a faulty bearing that fiddlesticked up the inside of my rear diff case.
Had just one spare rear diff case of the output side left, so I could fix it the...
damage finally fixed (and spares are on stand by 🤣)
netting and shock covers from Dusty Covers installed
and last but not least, new tires are looking dope!😎
I'd say, ready to rip this lill beast again!🙌
this is standard Large size.
some pages back I think I posted some pictures of a DB Pro with their nettings....
I will be posting my own pictures soon of the install and when done.
okay, here goes a summary of the rebuild.
As mentioned, I bought two set of diff cases from two different shops at two different times.
For the rear, that was my luck, because I received the V1 and the V2 diff cases.
The difference? the bearing size, and you can see here:
So for the rear I...
kinda pissed off that the bearings still havent arrived yet, despite choosing the expensive 'express delivery option' :mad:
so meanwhile I filled up the gap between chassis and ESC with my last Sugru, and filled up the crack at one mounting point that began to crack
And I installed the nets...
aight, think so as well
will try and get to that shop now since they have the last in stock, I wanna finish my build lol
and will be ordering many spare bearings on this French site, they are as cheap as you want:

edit2: bought bearing on a french bearing website...
@Bagel RC
found the screw, I was mixing up cup drives lol
but its LOS236003
or Kyosho https://www.mkracing.eu/kyosho-schraubstifte-2x11-fazer-rage-2-0-kyofa511.html
anyhow, I can't continue with my fiddlesticking front diff case rebuild!
Because I dont have the bigger bearings! :mad:
Why doesn't losi...
those fuckers at Losi just were lazy and gave that updated or dated part the same partnumber WTF? :rolleyes:
and whats newer, the one with the bigger diameter or the smaller one 🤷♂️
the screw i mean, is not a grub screw, was wrong in word choice, had nothing to do with the outdrivers cup...
no prob @Dave Fowler
Another question, I am rebuilding my diff cases, and one of them already has issues, luckely I had ordered 2 kits from different stores.
Because the inside bearing size in the diff case for the pinion gear has changed!!!
Losi updated them?
Pictures will follow....
Last...
Bought some tools and picked up the second round of the same spares today lol.
So today I can replace the diff cases.
Whats good news is the Traxxas conversion kit 6856X works perfectly with this buggy.
Track has even been increased by 8mm at each side...
while I'm at it, I checked the front...
UPDATE
So, as mentioned I'm gonna try these new 17" wheels. (Louise B-Grooves, they must be identical to a Duratrax model, but I dunno the Duratrax branded name)
Tomorrow or tonight I'll find out if that Traxxas conversion kit will fit our buggies....🤞
And finally got the rest of the spares...
And after some cleaning I saw another broken part, this time a broken wing support, it never ends it seems 🤷♂️😋
I'm also looking into a conversion kit to open up wheel options for 17mm hex.
But what adapters do you guys use?
The M2C is crazy expensive.
And i am not sure if this Traxxas one...
meet the track that caused my DB Pro to fall apart, in POV flying over the track following the cars 😎
(other neat vids of the track on that channel)
Enjoy!
For me, with the hard demanding track that destroys these things, I can say: either rack up diff cases or invest in aluminum ones, from Vitavon.
And/or upgrade to these Tekno drive pieces, I also bend one shaft. (3s)...
I wasn't aware of the Losi box, so I got the idea from a youtuber that used a traxxas box.
Had I knew, i would get the losi box, but the Trx one works fine, after some trimming.
It all fits, but its very tight in there, 4 channels used in total.
