yeh the spur pinion mesh..how do i fix it? just use the lead to lube it?

 

[beason]

you have to take the cover off the spur/pinion, then loosen up the motor and it will pivot to adjust the mesh, and yes just "draw" on the teeth of the gears to lube them

i did the reversal of the rear tires. theres a difference in handling and everything there.

 

[beason]

i switched both, its harder to get the clips on, but handles alot better

 

[grgbulldog]

i have the threaded axles. ill try reversing the fronts tomorrow. what do you use to make pull things for the body clips...never done it

 

[grgbulldog]

how do you make this thing wheelie? it wont do it with a full lipoo charge. everyonce in a while it will pop one..but thats only every once in a while

 

[beason]

i use some zip ties and some fuel tubing to make the pulls. if it wont wheelie they you got problems.. mine is stock and i can't keep the front end down. try tightening up the slipper. and check for drag in the driveline

 

[grgbulldog]

how easily do your rear wheels turn when you turn them? mine have some drag, but i thought it was just the motor

 

[beason]

it has some, but not alot, it should "diff out" pretty easily, but mine doesn't have much more drag when i hold one tire and turn the other

 

[grgbulldog]

mines not to easy to hold one and turn the other, hasnt ever been..

i broke a steering linkage, quick fix?

 

[grgbulldog]

so I've now broken 2 parts on this thing, steering linkage(which i just made my own new one), and the rear left hub. i just broke the left rear hub for the 2nd time in 3 days. should i keep building up on these 5 dollar hub a-arm kits or just go alluminum?

 

[beason]

the linkage can be made out of a small zip tie and will almost never break. I've also seen them made out of cf stips. i havent broke anything on mine yet.

 

[grgbulldog]

k thanks much

i decided to make a new steering link this morning so i could bring it over to a friends house and what do you know? i have a problem. the gears pop and grind and seriously take down the power when moving forward, and then, when moving back doesn't do it at all. i took the rear end off to investigate it stopped, as soon as i through it back on, it started again. what could be happening? it wasn't doing this at all just over a week ago (last time i used it) so what would make it start now?

 

[beason]

sounds like a broken tooth on one of the gears maybe int he diff area, time for a tear down.

 

[grgbulldog]

but it didnt do that last time i ran it. why would it start it now? doesn't make sense.

 

[grgbulldog]

i bought the new diff set a few weeks ago, and decided to try and get it all working tonight. i took it apart very carfully watching exacting how everything was, and waddaya know? they wont go tightly together again without a hard push before coming back apart again..everything looks tight as it can be. any ideas?
