Noj Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That is a bugger Haven't had a look at the kit parts, however, I think your images show exactly how good they aren't. Here's to finding the right fix, using stronger parts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Scorpion XXL VE diff cup has landed! Yay! Rebuild tonight! Still on the hunt for an ally cup and stronger gears! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well, it's done. I've rebuilt the diff with the if102 gears just to see what they're like. It feels a little rough and notchy, but that should settle in after a couple of gentle packs. I'll start with 4s and move up to 5s when it's bedded in a bit. That's all for now, just gotta wait for the sun again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 I had two 4s packs at storage and figured "they'll do!". The diff seems OK, but there is a strange nose coming from it, I'll give it some more bedding in time before I take it out and inspect it. I still have the proper diff gears, so could fit those and see if it's quieter. Happy to have it running again, I'll be happier when the voltage is back up to 5s.

Ross9999992 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I should be rebuilding my hypers diffs over the next couple of days hopefully. I'll see if I can come up with anything to get one in the scorpion, might even be able to get a spider in there or something, I've never managed to strip one of those. Can't remember if all 3 of mine are spiders though so that could put an end to that plan. There a quick way to get the diff out of the scorpion?

Tug Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 The diff seems to have two large main gears, these are fine. However, they leave little space for the spider gears so they're quite small. It's these that seem to be the weak link. In the coming days I'm hoping to stretch her legs some more and see if these new gears hold together. I've also backed off the slipper quite a bit, hopefully that'll take some strain out of the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 You might need some different posts, they might offer a conversion kit at some point, but I've not looked in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I think your right, just had a look but no sign of a conversion kit. Hope they hurry up. Gonna treat myself to some red alu shocks and B-XXL look lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Has anyone upgraded the stock shocks? I like the hop up option from Kyosho but i was wondering if anyone installed any other shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I haven't felt the need, the stockers feel pretty good despite being all plastic. The kyosho upgrades are quite a price if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
