ant b 4 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Ran 3 tanks through my hyper 7 new engine,so that's all 6 done! Then on the last tank I lost an engine mount bolt which moved the engine and chewed my clutch bell up! Then had a quick bash on my savage x picco .28 and I'm thinking I need longer gears still as it just wheelies non stop. Then had a quick go on my ansmann virus 2.0 ep giving it all the abuse I could to try and brake it,and then the pinion gear grub screw came lose and fell of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernaut jims Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Another spur gear destroyed, that's 2 in 2 runs and I'm mighty annoyed. Meshed them correctly like I always have and now they cant seem to take the motor no more. Anyone know if I should replace the pinion or just bad luck.

atom3624 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Over the weekend: 1. Tried soldering the Traxxas connectors onto the very heavy - relatively speaking - duty cables of the Turnigy 3S LiPo 65/130C 5Ah batteries. Nearly worked and the 80W soldering station is more than powerful enough. It's frankly obvious that the Traxxas connectors are not heavy-duty enough. Ordered some 6mm bullet connectors and bit the bullet - pun intended - that I'll have to rewire the ESC as well .... never mind. 2. Used the E6000 adhesive after having fully cleaned all of the tyres I removed in order to replace onto the alloy wheels I've cleaned up. Foams have been inserted - I've used FG foams inside the MCD tyres I'm fitting - and all placed onto the wheels. Then all rims and tyres were cleaned with alcohol. Then, after ensuring all was clean and the fit was excellent, the E6000 was filled into the rim beads, and the tyres fed as well as possible into the rims. The excess was wiped off, and then 53cm cable ties were fed through the alloy wheel holes - same design as the FG plastic wheels - and 'loosely tightened' onto the tyre to ensure an even, firm fit. 8 ties were fitted onto each tyre - 1 tie per hole. It appears to be holding but the adhesive is a contact adhesive - leave for several days. I'll remove the final ties tomorrow or Tuesday. Quiet weekend!! Al.
