new to this need help!

[tvjv2009]

I'm in the process of getting a care package together so he should have an .18 sh to put on it. It's no Novarosi, but he will save 300 bucks...

yeah i dont know what it is,. the servos say victory hawk. i havnt seen any redcats that look the same. how will i know if its time to check the diffs????

 

[tvjv2009]

If it was me, I would pull yhem apart now while I was waiting on parts. But that is me.

With some modification you may be able to put some traxxas diffs in it. T maxx 4 tec???? Idk..

 

[blacktsi94]

if i pull them apart what do i do clean and regrease? look for damage? or lose parts? tight parts ? what

 

[tvjv2009]

Though it looks like the a arms mount to the diffs...

Damaged and worn parts.. measure your bearings and throw a set of fast eddy bearings in it.. thats what id do. You dont want to put time and money in a car that has bad diffs. Expecially not knowing exactly what it is an where to get parts.

 

[blacktsi94]

ok so the bearings are they all the same bc i saw the wheel bearings while i was stripping it and they seemed like all the bearings I've seen online? ok once i get in there what grease do i need to pick up weight and stuff ike that?

 

[tvjv2009]

Not all the same. The way I did it when I ordered bearings was measured the d bearing ex. 10x5x4bearing measures 10 mm outside 5 mm through the center and 4 mm thick.

 

[blacktsi94]

With what a tape measure or a micrometer lolol Idk if I have something that measure that small of stuff guess I better get a better ruler lol I ordered servos. I know I still need atlwast two different sets of tires. And a bunch of small screws for mounting everything.

 

[tvjv2009]

A caliper. Dont sweat I will throw one of those in your package. Though it will be a plastic cheapie.. but will work for getting started.

 

[blacktsi94]

[tvjv2009]

And I'm assuming the stuff that's screwed in on the top of my servos is gonna come off and go on the new ones right?

Different companies use a different spline count on their servos. You'll need servo control horns or control arms with the number that will match the servo you get.

 

[tvjv2009]

Before doing anything with servos, read the thread I was telling you about. I think it's called all you ever wanted to know about servos.

 

[blacktsi94]

ok cuz the mg's i have on watch came with arms for both throttle and steering
