samshirley001 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 ran my TA06 again, and something went quite wrong. The belt somehow twisted, and removed near enough all of the teeth from the 18t pully, that powers the front wheels. Have ordered a new one, but i doubt it will arrive by monday, what is race day. Might have to use my TT-01 instead for racing if i can't repair it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Repaired the Baja after yesterdays bash New front A-arm. Removed the cable ties holding the shock tower together, drilled and bolted the uprights so that is together. New shock tower now on order. GH tower supports to be added when I get paid next. Also fitted the new rear balljoints that turned up just as I was on the way out the house on Saturday. Baja is now clean, runnable and back in action.

b19jas Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Got the gearbox out of the E maxx, fitted the single motor plate, got out the dremel, weighed up where to dremel out the mount to fit the mahoosive 775 motor, Then realised the pinion shaft is huge (5mm) compared to the stock pinion. Oh well, pack it all away again and put an order to MS for a 20t, 5mm pinion and start it all again wednesday, Charged up the lipos on the merv though to try out my rebuild.

Noj Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 having spent ages talking about preventative maintenance with a mate, then went and 'discovered' that the screws holding the E-Maxx's mamba monster in place were perhaps a bit loose - cue whining noise and metallic speckles inside the gearbox cover! Ooops.My mate was howling! Got the beast running again but needs a proper alignment check on the morrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well here is my first post on a what i did today thread I Studied my Rustlers Steering system, tracking on it is a complete mess A slight knock and you end up retrimming it again never pulls nicely However all is alot clearer now Lots of Track rod ends are worn and other jazzy bits - So there on the To sort list Next the differential was suspect to leaking before it sat on a shelf for ages..... Well its has been started for a complete strip down And as i thought the bottom diff gear is dry on the outside.... its all leaked out the drive UJ And since its been sprayed Black with that spray dye, its pulled it off So the Rustler will be shining again soon, after a complete clean, repsray and rebuild Somehow gotta sort my shell out too.... ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
