Simmyoto Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Just the spur gear dave but get yourself a rw pinion whilst your at it, the brass ftx ones are *****! Did you get a sealed spur cover ? If not get one at the same time They seal the spur and pinion brilliantly stopping all the stones getting in and saving the spir from stripping like yours has. Get some slipper pads as well in case you decide yours need replacing when you strip the slipper down to get the spur gear out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of a picture with it fitted ? Nope, Hooligan chassis is narrower than the Carnage.

corpsstandard Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 On 13/03/2017 at 13:49, Simmyoto said: Yes and no- You would need to buy a set of the Carnage body posts to attach to the front body mounts You would need to make new mounting holes in the shell as well.- the shell would sit high and long and the wheels would look strange as they are small compared to the carnage wheels. The vantage is shorter than the carnage and the carnage wheel track is also wider- the carnage suspension arms are longer- There are members who have converted vantages to Carnages- you'll have to read back through this thread. What is it that you are trying to achieve? I've broken my vantage shell! Do any of you know what other shells would be compatible without having to make loads of alterations as described above?

Sorry.. im not really sure about compatible vantage shells, i would guess most 1 10th buggy shells, if you call or email the boys at modelsport they will point you in the right direction, whatever you decide dont get another ftx shell... they are just trash, they are not at all durable.. a proline shell would last the longest but youd have to check r.e fitment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsstandard Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Good shout, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give modlesport a call and see what they suggest cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmyoto Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Just painted an hpi dsx 2 body up for the carnage, been years since i painted one and didn't want to wreck a proline! Ill go for something a bit more adventurous next time! Edited March 27, 2017 by Simmyoto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Shann Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hi guys,Just taken the Carnage out after fixing the Spur gear but I only seem to be getting 2WD (rear). I've checked to make sure the blue bar in the middle is connected which it is. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I should look at? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmyoto Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Is the blue drive shaft spinning when you put on the power? 3 likely suspects... 1 the driveshaft drive cup on the end of the slilper shaft.. make sure you have the grub screw tight and its on the flat section of the shaft (likely as you just replaced spur gear)2, drive pin sheared on one of the front cvds causing no drive due to it diffing out or 3 plastic wheel hex rounded and spinning in the wheel again causing diff out Edited April 3, 2017 by Simmyoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmyoto Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Grub screw loose on slipper drive cup Snapped front cvd drive pins or rounded hex Edited April 3, 2017 by Simmyoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmyoto Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 If its none of the above then youll be opening the diff case.. should be one of them though as they are more likely to go than the diff gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Shann Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks again mate I'll have a look!! [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Could also be the drive cup on the front diff drive. Or the pin in the CVD cup itself. I've snapped a couple of them in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
