rctech132 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 My motor casing poped open on my HPI E-Firestorm Flux. It has ripped the screw through the metal and is now not secure so the motor doesnt work. I bought a new motor and the exact same thing happened on the first run! ANY IDEAS?

jarface Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi need some help got a problem lost drive, just seems to be spinning up, free wheeling. Just got the truck for xmas not too keen to do major surgery yet any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24jas77 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Could be the slipper clutch that's come loose or even the pinion gear may have come loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarface Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Sounds like major surgery to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24jas77 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) If you've got the manual then look at the exploded view of the parts and you will see where it all is Basically if you take the housing off covering the pinion and spur gear it will become apparent what is loose I think it's only 2 or 3 screws to get it off and only a grub screw for pinion gear or hex nut for spur gear to do up then you should be on your way again Edited December 29, 2013 by 24jas77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarface Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Pinion gear tooth, needed to tighten that little grub screw. Cheers buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24jas77 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 No probs bud if you've got some thread lock put a bit on the grub screw then let it dry over night and it shouldn't come un done again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarface Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 When rotating should there be any noise with the cogs meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinso Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 If you can here it its probably the teeth stripped on the spur. Easy fix if you have 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 yes there will be some noise if you turn the spur when its connected to the pinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarface Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Cheers stretch will go with that had a couple of runs great buggy, had a few teething troubles but the forum is great for help. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinso Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Stretch maybe you can help me out here, ive bought an 88t sput from modelsport and they said I needed to buy the blitz slipper clutch set to fit it, do you know how its fitted?

stretch Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 What's the reason for going with a 88t spur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinso Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Better acceleration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Tbh going up one tooth on a spur isn't going to make a massive amount of difference, you running NiMH or lipo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
