Popular Post Rat-Matt-RC Posted February 18 Popular Post Share Posted February 18 I managed to get new tyres and wheels fitted. First beadlock, so a little worried I may have not tightened enough, but going to give it a go and see, plus buy some locktite today. If that's a bad idea please let me know haha. Oh I also fitted the high trail lift kit too. Oh oh and also one if the stock wheels on back too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partydaz Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) If your going start using thread lock only use a little bit as too much will make it a bugger to get the screw out 🙈 oh and only use it metal into metal as I believe it doesn't react well in plastic. You can buy plastic thread lock but it was crazy expensive last time I looked. Edited February 18 by Partydaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TommyC Posted February 21 Popular Post Share Posted February 21 Sprayed the spoiler on the micro B. The tamiya ps1 seems a little off though. Seeing as the shell is so small I may finally use the very expensive tamiya paint remover I bought and strip it all back and go for a different colour. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Fixed the 124016 which lost rear wheel drive under power from the trip to the beach. Bought some 'upgraded' metal diffs but one of them doesn't seem to work properly and even with stripping it down I can't see why. Equally, I stripped the original broken one down and can't see any breakages but just doesn't work smoothly and keeps jamming even with several rebuilds!? Makes me wish I had the LCRacing version of this beach buggy, but they have seemingly stopped making it. Anyway, I got it going and ended up just replacing the rear diff and added some lithium grease to the front. No gaskets in these so hopefully the grease will stay in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def did it properly! Bloody nora that's how you do it! , why blow one diff when you can take all three out 🙃. I can feel your pain as the front diff on my dad's crawler started clicking an hour into the outing yesterday, didn't stop him enjoying himself but after 5 hours of abuse you could spin the front with next to no resistance 😆. I shall be stripping it down at some point and showing him the destruction he has caused! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I managed to rebuild all 3 diffs with some new/used spares i had lying around, unfortunately i cannot test it as im wiring a towbar into my neighbours car today, hopefully next weekend though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Partydaz Posted February 23 Popular Post Share Posted February 23 Took the Mojave 4s out then it ****** it down so it got soaked, was fun ripping it in the wet made for some cool drifting action 😀. Got it drying by the heater ( yes I know about the rats nest of cables and the fire hazard on the right 🙈) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
