Slugsie Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 here is the picture of the destroyed bearings i found supporting the front diff , going to be ordering some from rc bearings lets hope they last longer than these did I found one of my front bearing was destroyed after the first run, strongly suggesting that it was damaged from the factory. Replacements seem to be holding up much better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leongordon234 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 not sure i think it was the esc that caught first and then it popped the lipo so i stayed back and had to watch it burn , the clean up took awhile as i only have 1 good leg atm but my mum didnt notice when she got home so i must of done a good job , i had that new motor coming aswell no im not going to be able to run it , didnt someone say they had an sc8 or something ?

Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Just back from a skate park bash and I'm really impressed with the strength of the truck, I only managed to break a hex pin, a shock mounting screw and the switch on my SC8 fell to bit, vids to follow soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Just noticed I've lost the large plastic washer that goes in front of the shock cap, has anyone got a spare they would sell to me??? I've searched the part online and it comes with loads of useless parts i will never need and is a tenner Edited July 14, 2012 by .AJ.

mydoddy69 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Just use a bit of fuel line and a washer instead .. might get you out of a jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've got washers I could use, I'm just a bit picky about thing like this, I'll end up changing all the washers so they match xD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
