Bonez Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 sure sounds like the slipper is slipping. how where the pads on it? you could always glue it that way you know it's not slipping! also on a side note check your gear mesh, it sounds a little tight.

Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Yeah same thought I had. But ive tightened it till it cant get any tighter and it was no better. Havent checked the pads. Very new to electric. Whats the white hexagonal pieces? Looka like a very thin plastic. Its either side of the spur gear. . Il have to try stripping it down. Will also adjust the gear mesh. One thing ive noticed is when its off and I roll it along the floor I can hear and feel the pinion and spur but its on and off. Like its tight through one half of the turn then looser and quieter through the other half a turn. Bent pinion or spur shaft ?

Bonez Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i think a strip down to see whats wrong is in order mate. the pads are in the slipper is they are worn out then ever tighten down it may still slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 thanks for the reply ive taken it apart, and the slipper pads (or " those white things" as i called them earlier lol )are about 1mm thick, not sure if thats worn or not, i can order new ones so thats no biggie, unless its the diff, then im not sure ive attached a vid of the motor running freely without spur gear, seems very loud to me, tho its the first brushless motor ive heard in the flesh also when i run it off the ground and hold one wheel the other spins super fast, (tyre balloning) . Without holding the wheel there is no ballooning at all on either wheel, when ive seen vids of people running this setup on a stand it seems to go way faster, and sound very different http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnG7Gm7btJw&feature=youtu.be thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 motor sounds ok to me mate. might be worth taking the diff apart to see maybe if it is that or not. at least it will rule it out if it isn't. plus its practice at doing it for servicing wise also just check drive shaft cups are all in order. i think they will be but no harm in checking. it's acting like a stripped gear looking back at it now. happened to me when my spur gear had stripped once.

Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 A stripped gear in the transmission you mean. The spur and pinion are new and the cups are also in good condition Thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 It sounds like the diff needs adjusted to me. Do you know how to adjust them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Im not sure il have a look. Any tips more than welcome though . Thanks mate Edited March 16, 2014 by Dave1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrooom Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 ball diff or gear diff ? if its ball diff, you might ruined it already... just flip the washer on ball diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 It's a ball diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Whats that mean for me ? Didnt quite understand vrooms post about flipping the washer if its a ball diff Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 a ball diff has 2 plates, one at each side of the diff with the balls in-between them. I think vroom is on about flipping those plates around 180*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Oh ok. So flip it so the outer side of the plate is against the balls instead. Il try adjusting it first and see how it goes. Cant seem to find any videos on adjusting Schumacher ball diffs . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 That's correct. Because you've been trying to run it the way it is, the balls may have worn a groove into the diff plates, so flipping them will give the balls a new smooth surface. It'll probably be worth while sanding the diff plate with smooth emery cloth too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just started stripping it down and ive noticed that on the spur shaft on the opposite end to the spur the shaft goes through one small metal gear which meshes with another that turns the internal gears . Both the metsl gears have a lot of gritty metal filings all over them. The teeth look worn to me unless they are different to say the teeth on the big spur gear .

Dave1980 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 also the silicone oil in the diff and the gearbox is quite a dark grey and a bit gritty looking heres pics of the few things ive mentioned http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll475/davejm1000/20140316_220440.jpg http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll475/davejm1000/20140316_222007.jpg http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll475/davejm1000/20140316_222407.jpg http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll475/davejm1000/20140316_222441.jpg ive flipped the plates either side of the balll diff, they had very very light grooves, felt more polished than work but changed them around anyway.

Monster LB Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi, just wondering if you ever sorted this? I can't give any advice but have just completed my second build that has a slipper clutch (still not overly comfortable with them)so was interested in the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
