Oh How Original Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Also just for argument sake, can anyone see anything that I've done wrong here? I personally can't and I've looked at other Bajas to double check but as Paul said sometimes you just need a second set of eyes looking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Also RC Modelz already told me to send it back, I just haven't got round to it yet, will do it tomorrow. Which suggests they may be aware of issues and will simply replace it. Why go through all this tedium and question posing, when it was made clear that for once, the buggy itself is actually at fault, not as a result of bad tinkering on your part?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Why not? It may very well not be that, I have a feeling it isn't, because why would it make the pinion bounce up and down... It simply wouldn't be straight. I have a hunch it's something else, if others see something I have missed, it could solve the issue all together. I'm also not sure how you can make out like it's me who ruins them all, when some have arrived with bad engines straight from the off. That isn't my "bad tinkering"...

Rover Man Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The only thing i would add thats nothing to do with your gear issue is run a saw through that pipe and fit a flexible joiner. You can crack the head in a bad crash even more now you have cut the wing off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is high on my to do list though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I clearly stated that FOR ONCE, this issue wasn't because of poor tinkering. You really have a bad case of foot in mouth disease at the moment! Just send the damn thing back and pray that the replacement is lined up correctly, honestly...mountains from bloody mole hills!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem, all my gears mesh nicely, thanks all the same ;-p I was more meaning the problem you seem to have with me, just lately you seem to just drop snide comments pretty constantly. It's just getting irritating as hell and not really adding anything to the threads. I respect you and the Baja knowledge you have, but I'm not in the mood for it, if you can't add something positive, don't bother, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It's just getting irritating as hell and not really adding anything to the threads. My point exactly, you tool! This is EXACTLY what you do to threads over the entire forum. Just because you've read something or your 'mate' has one, does not give you carte blanche to spread your lack of knowledge, supposition and contrary opinions...to the tune of 7606 posts and counting. THAT is unhelpful and irritating. Snide comments and general mickey taking are not from me alone, I just happen to be more direct than some Anyway, back on topic, why not try a new rear plate if you cba returning it for a replacement, if that is where the discrepancies in milling are? I have one you could have for postage costs, unless you don't trust me not to include some form of Yorkshire chemical weapon in the package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one you could have for postage costs, unless you don't trust me not to include some form of Yorkshire chemical weapon in the package I help when I can, if I've had certain experiences that I know to be 100% true, then that does give me the right to give my opinion. It just bugs me when recently you've just been directing a lot of snide comments my way, I'm all for banter and having a laugh, but on certain days, it just isn't the right time, I'm more than happy to explain what I mean by this in a PM, but it's not something I wish to mention in the open Forum. That'd also be much appreciate, I personally think it is the circle part in the gear plate, I've Dremelled a very thin layer from around it but it's not worked. I'm returning the clutch carrier to RC Modelz tomorrow, after seeing a picture, the clutch bell is going back too, to me it looks a bit of a bad weld, coupled with my up and down pinion, so he said send it back. If you want to drop me a PM with Paypal details I'll gladly take the gear plate, anything is worth a try before replacing more expensive parts, which knowing my typical luck, I will end up having to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Can I try some banter?
