olixmb4x Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 spent the last couple ofdays totally rebuilding my xray after its outing on sunday. i looked at it on monday and really couldnt be arsed doing anything - it was rusting away after sitting in a puddle of its own mud overnight . once i started i couldnt stop haha. everything apart, shock rebuild, diff cases apart and now its good as new ready to get mucky again at the next meet!

graxon2001 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) stripped it down to the diffs re-greased them put it back together, no left over screws yay. its soooo quiet now you can only hear the motor Alex Have you kept the block that connects the rear diff and the slipper clutch as stock since moving to brushless or found a mod that works for it? I'm looking at either buying and FTX Carnage chassis, as that's one piece and should hold it all together better, or seeing if I can get some short drive cups and putting this small Kyosho dogbone http://www.jespares.com/electric-models?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=12567&category_id=1285 between. My problem is that although I screw the block down, and threadlock the screws, the rear screw still works it's way loose of the rear diff pinion pin and so doesn't transfer the drive to the wheels. In keeping with the thread, I've removed both diffs ready for rebuilding, and had to cut the crappy LRP & Simply RC screws with a rotary tool to get them off.
