so today i cleaned up the fr and rear tower/diff housings....and stripped the rear diff and fitted new drive cup/bearings....the new 2013 pro cups have a small lump and a recess on the grub screw so its a more secure fit on the shaft.....i also fitted new bearings in the hubs...i had to use me bearing seater i made as one wouldnt go in.......i drove flat out into our car rear wheel on holiday last year so i now need a new fr housing as its cracked by the tower mount..ones on its way as we speak...i`m waitin on sum 7-30-3wt diff oil from ms so i can fill the new diffs and fit em....i`ve ordered a new centre diff as mine must b bent/warped as it dont run evenly.....its like someone grabbed both the cups and bent em downward slightly....too many bad fr end landings no doubt...i tried the motor mount but it dont line up properly...  .i spose i should of asked the measurements first before buying it...  ..so i`m gonna have to sort that out or buy a new mount.....me combo is on its way as i had a shipped e-mail from funshobbys yesterday.  ..so heres some pics of todays work....the new 2013 pro diff is the one on the right....i tried the old diff with the new cup but it wouldn't rotate properly..i think the gears r a slighty different cut...jus curious if they`ed work......obvlious not!!.

so me diff oils turned up today...so i stripped all the grease out what came in them and cleaned them up and put 3k in the rear one.....refitted the rear diff back in the housing and put the rear end back on the chassis....i also did the fr diff with 7k..and refilled the rear shoxs with 50wt as i didnt have any 45 and not enuff 40..which is to low imo...jus ordered sum more 50 and 45 so i can do the fr ones..new shox socks fitted....top tip for fitting shox socks...use a card..wrapped round the spring then pull sock up and remove said card....job done!  !still waiting on me combo....  ..i noticed i had quite a bit of play in the rear drive shafts so i did the fuel tube mod to take up the play....all good now...doubt it`ll last long.....we see...

right...I can now post pics:hahadance:..lets get on with this. ...so I had bullets from me lipos...and I did find in the xerun box sum heat shrink,3x bullets,a mount and sum cable ties.....so that's that sorted...I spent a while trying different ways to fit/mount the battery tray and ended up cutting it a bit on the rear esc tray to clear the rear lower arm..ialso used a long bolt/rubber tube/nut on the front tray mount..so now I have the tray secured in and the esc fitted...I wasn't to happy with the 2x bolts securing the tray towards the rear so I drilled and put a small nut/blot on the rear of said tray....u can see this in one of me pics..I didn't fancy me lipos being chopped up by the centre diff and exploding if the tray came loose in a bad roll over/crash.....I now have me new centre diff and front diff housing which needs to be fitted and the diff cleaned out and filled with 7k oil.....that's the old centre diff in the pics as I needed to see how it all sat pretty happy with it so far....

so...tonite I did the front diff and put it all back together in the new pro housing...which is slightly different to my old 7.5 one.....it uses allen head bolts rather than Phillips screws to attach everything/hold it together.....I also did the centre diff....again a pro one...30000k oil in it...damn that oil is thick...lol!!I had some issues fitting that ofna  buggy8 motor/diff mount as only 1 hole lined up and the diff spur was resting on the chassis........Q the dremel/drill....and sum bodging... ..lol!!I eventually got the 4 bolts in and the mounts straight and the diff spinning freely........I had to use the small washers as when I screwed jus the bolts into the mounts it made them not vertical...sorta pulled em outwards if that makes sense......so sum more drilling and washers and it was done.....not ideal but its in and turning......all I have to do now is solder the wires/bullets on the motor and get a new shell....and change the front shox oil and new socks...I`m also gonna make sum more braces to go to the top of the diff mount from the front and rear to try and stop chassis flex...

well its finished all bar the 19th pinion and a new shell... ..pinion is on the way from usa should b here this wk...and ms do the uncut shells....got the wires/bullets all soldered on and the esc battry connector done.....I cabled tied the wires to the motor so they don't move and brake the solder.....I calibrated the esc last nite and alls well there..i left all the esc settings at default for now...gonna see what others r running...my 4s/6s fits in there nicely...so pretty much finished now....I mite wrap one of the nitro shells I got for now and see how it turns out....gota few sheets of carbon wrap....

Edited April 21, 2014 by evssv

[evssv]

Looking good mate is there gonna be a vid of its test run!!

Mine came to halt couple of months back when when 2nd baby come along, not much in way of money and sleep so it sat in the cupboard but just got back into it last night, managed to trim the shell last night and hoping to paint in next few days, can't wait to test it!!!!

[shdaxner]

Will those cables being cable tied to the motor be OK? the motor can get hot sometimes...

 

Looks good though mate, bet you are itching to have a bash.

 

Where did you end up getting your combo from?

I was thinking that as I wanted to do that with mine but was worried they would melt, but my kyosho buggy I bought rtr came like it and so far they haven't melted I suppose it depends how hot your motor runs I guess.

[shaun17]

Thread some fuel tube on the cable ties, so the ties dont melt and it will protect the motor, also I'm pretty sure the tube will cope with the heat, as I've put in on nitro heads lol

sweet.....I keep this inmind if it do run hot....... Edited April 26, 2014 by evssv

[evssv]

heres me first run from this morning...esc is at default settings.....seems a bit noisey but that's probably to do with the bodge on the motor/diff mount.....I think I will need a new chassis and the proper motor mount at sum point.. I see how this holds up for now though....plus I`m not sure I`m gonna beable to get me 19th pinion on....theres not a lot of movment on the motor mount...its gota 17th on atm...

Not sure were me vid went....I see if I can sort it out....had to remesh the motor/diff today...and one of the motor allen heads rounded off......so what was a ten minute job ended up taking me ages!!! I glad I got sum decent tools on the way.......after remeshing it ran abit quieter and seemed smoother. .......cant upload pics as me lap tops broke atm...
