ghazghul Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Quickly fitted / shimmed a new input shaft to rear diff on Maverick SCT, used old motor plate as bearing fell apart fitting in the new one. Fitted sc401 and sc8wp, velcroed everything until it all stayed put and then couldn't find centre driveshaft. Took it out anyway to bmx track with mate + acme raptor / condor pro hybrid and launched them off stuff. New combo a bit more coggy than old sidewinder + 4 pole but handles the heavy chassis better. Pulled hard on 2wd with pin tires on dirt / gravel. Reverse set far too slow so barely got out of cog. Temps good. Blew rears tires off first jump. Hard to keep straight on 2wd esp. when servo saver backed off. Think I lost a motor wire or the lvc kicked in as it stopped and motor just rocked on throttle. Raptor flew after sorting a loose switch wire. Reverse landing into a bank popped a shock cap and ended play. Motor and esc a bit toasty, will check bearings before running again. Great to get out and drive after a busy summer of work and no real broken parts either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp79er Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Gave it a good spanking around the park today..... head on with a post so need to straighten the front chassis...but nothing major and not a show stopper Posted by me ????

ghazghul Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Found 15t and 17t pinions in a packet... Checked sct to find a 20t. That explains cogging, think running 2wd is why temps were ok. Still can't find centre shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arogon1235 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 packed the speed car up and put it in shed in a locked cabinet, decided to have a break from RC for the moment to help me focus on my GCSE's and my project that i have been thinking about for a good 2 years so hopefully you might see what that is in the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-d Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Done a bit of soldering on the hubsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysjim Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Done a bit of soldering on the hubsan Lots of people seem to have to solder hubsans.... How come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-d Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Lots of people seem to have to solder hubsans.... How come? The lipos I use in mine are slightly bigger than standard so everything gets a little tight when it in . I pulled on the battery wire (on the hubsan end)so I could plug the lipo in but ended up pulling the neg wire off the board,I need to learn to be more gentle with it lol. The only other solder that I think you'd need to do is when you get a non/slow rotating motor from crashing baby ect..sure puts a smile on your face after working on these things as with how small the board is and how chunky my shaky hands are I'm surprised it's still in one piece:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a soldering iron yet and although I used to love it in technology at school, I need some practice on an old TV remote before adding half a kilo of solder to an rc model... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 ERBE, ally-Maxx and S5, all three given a beating! ERBE ripped her Centre rear drive, but only after a proper beating. Ally-Maxx took a beating, no breakages. S5 was fantastic! Lost a screw in the steering, bodged in a replacement. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Got them all out for a group shot: Clockwise from back left: Super Clod, Frank the Tank, Chevvy Carnage, X4, Brushless Baby Badger, Miper v3.0, Losi, Shorty, Vandal. After that I popped the new Savox in Miper and a 19t pinny in CCarnage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I've finally put my fg diff back together after it sitting in peices for well over a week. Polished the other two shocks and thought about starting the front end. Then decided to not bother or it would have been a late one. All while James bond diamonds are forever played in the background I've never watched a bond before now I know why. Some bits was cool tho.

Tug Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Rebuilt the ERBE rear diff, first time in a while. As usual it was the crown gear that had been smashed, looked like Shane McGowans teeth! I've replaced it with what's supposed to be a hardened replacement, only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I built my stock SCX10 shocks as I'm fed up of the Proline Scalers leaking. I've been advised to try Tamiya O-rings in them, so will get some of them on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
