200sx Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What are the dimensions of the crush tubes people are using? Specifically the width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) From: jannedwr To reduce freeplay in wheels i did these changes. Wheelbearing stabilisation, make a collar from hard alu in these dimention (all mess in mm.) 5.8od x 4.01id x 2.1thick Then buy kyosho shims 4id x 6od x 0.1,0.2,0.3thick Mount the parts as shown, test with 0.1shim first feel if still axial play, if try the 0.2shim and so on. I ended up with 0.2 on two wheel and 0.3 on two wheels. Now you can tighten your rim as hard as you need and get all the pressure on the smaller ring on the bearings. The pics is just for showing, you must do this with the hub and wheel mounted! If you have no tools to cut your own you can buy them from Thumbs Design (currently out of stock but just ask) and 3racing shims are cheaper Edited March 12, 2015 by Deafty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Ok, changed my rod ends to the rpm ones, all good - or so I thought..... Back to the same issue as before, bang on straight forward, veers to one side in reverse. I know in the grand scheme of things it may not matter much, but it bugs the hell out of me. Everything is measured and the sides are equal, so no idea what the issue is but my patience is starting to wear a little thin now. Could it be a fraction (not visible to the naked eye) out and thus affecting the pull if one side is fractions of a millimetre longer?

Jefferson Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 OK I'm back My change of heart /direction may not turn out as planned and I still have lipo packs, charger and spares for the buggy So, contemplating the kit version - yes I know massive u-turn, am on with the electrics but wondered if this esc would be suitable.... http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-quicrun-wp-16bl30-bl-esc/rc-car-products/382830 Looks like it would fit the bill, it's 30amp and nice low profile I also have on-road wheels and shims (amongst other bits), where would I place the shims to get a better fit when fitting the on road wheels - have read people add shims or washers but not clear where exactly Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) shims: Either before pin and after bearing (4mm in pic) or under bearings (8mm not shown) the thing between the two barings is a 'crush tube' the next before pin is a shim.

MattyV6 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Jony have a look at these from Phat Bodies, a few fit the EMB http://phatbodies.bigcartel.com/ I wouldn't bother with their wings though, i bought some and they were crap. Your better off buying a 10th wing, thats what most people run and they are stronger and pre cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
