burgerboy78 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Yea but it's not a straight fit it's quite complicated as I had to drill holes and weld in tiny pins to hold the clutch discs in. You can seen I've welded the posts in and then machined it flat on the rear. It was quite time consuming and fiddly but it will never break. There's a how to guide on google on how to do it with a plastic hpi spur that's a 32 pitch, that's where I got the idea from. I'll try and find the link and post it when I get home from work as the stock spur and pinion are useless and the weakest point.

Brandon Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ahh sucks! I don't have a welder I'll have to get one was that all you had to do to get it to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgerboy78 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yea that's it as they hold the clutch discs in. I've seen another guy fit an axial scx/wraith spur and clutch slipper system I'll try and dig that out aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Awesome! When I get around to getting the spur gear would you be able to do the welding as I wouldnt know how to do it I'll pay you as well and yeah please if you don't mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgerboy78 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This is the thread i was talking about. http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric-off-road/752430-thepipers-vaterra-glamis-uno-review-modding-thread.html Just ordered this aswell as i burnt out the cheap brushless motor down the beach today. Will sit out of the rear cage as the motors about 1cm longer than the original but should be more than enough power i hope! http://www.castlecreations.com/products/mamba_max_pro_sct.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebeaver Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Could someone do me a favour please, my glamis uno came as spares or repair which I fixed but it has no rear wing and a few bits seem to be missing. Could someone who has one take photos and post of the rear wing where it connects as I don't know what parts are missing. I've googled images but can get a close up of the back. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah sure will these help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebeaver Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks Brandon I think I just need the wing and those mounts Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgerboy78 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Have a look on eBay they'res plenty of spares for sale on there. If you can get a pdf up of the owners manual there's a blown up view of all the parts you will need near the bottom Edited January 23, 2015 by burgerboy78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 No problem icebeaver! Yeah as burgerboy said, there is plenty on eBay but if you're unable to find just the mounts, I think I have some spare wing mounts I could send to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebeaver Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the offer Brandon, modelsport have them in stock so I will get that and need to order a wing to. EBay have lots of choice but most of it's from us and have expensive delivery prices, saying that I ordered those upgraded front shocks from us which were cheaper than anwhere in the UK and postage was only 3 working days from us to uk.

Brandon Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 No problem mate! I bought my new wing set from us eBay as it was cheaper than the buying it from the uk. I bought a set of aluminium shocks from modelsport and then I found a cheaper set on eBay haha oh well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tchy Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The Glamis Uno Manual pdf. http://www.vaterrarc.com/ProdInfo/Files/VTR04000-Manual_EN.pdf I put an SCX10 slipper on my Uno some time back so I could use a 32 pitch spur gear. Pics are somewhere back in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icebeaver Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Haha it's annoying when that happens, I took my lad out to the park today who has his own car and today was the first time I've managed a full pack without breaking my glamis, OMG how fast, it's to fast on 3s. Thanks for that link mitchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tchy Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The spur is an Associated 2266 54T. I'm think of putting in a 1/8 motor around 2000kv, just need to get 5mm bore pinions first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to change the spur gear to something better but I haven't got any idea how to do it When you get the motor fitted if you do, you have to show us!

icebeaver Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Any of you guys know anything about the cooling fan on the esc? Mine burn out a month ago and was told by the guy from modelsport that a 25mm speed passion fan would be ok, got it after waiting a month and it has only 2 pin connector whilst the stock uno fan esc has a 3 pin connector so it won't fit. Any ideas? I can't find a 25mm cooling fan with 3 pin connector anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Would it be easier to buy another esc? Or are you just after the cooling fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebeaver Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Well the fan comes off with 4 screws and cost as little as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hmm ok bud I'll do my best to have a look aswell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tchy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just use the plug off the old fan and solder the wires off the new fan to them. A fan only needs 2 wires anyway. The 3 pins are so you can use a programming card. The esc is basically a Hobbywing WP80, but with less tuning settings. I posted somewhere earlier in the thread.

burgerboy78 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just connect it up to the red and black of the old fan wires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
