Grimsnot Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I do get the feeling that the diff lock on the rear isn't working, making an odd noise. Will check tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimsnot Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Took it up my fave bashing spot this morning... epic ! Managed to put a small crack in the bodyshell, but it did do a few jumps. The rear diff definitely isn't locking, will have a proper look this afternoon and see what the issue is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsnot Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 yeah :-( Had a problem with the catch on one of the battery trays not closing too... got too much grit in it. Great fun though... until it broke, and I had to carry it back to the car. Totally my fault though.... hit a small tree stump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsnot Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Here's a vid of the rear diff servo fault - at 2:50 you can see the servo removed. Waiting for a reply from Arrma, hoping it is a simple fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not quite sure what your trying to film ? The servo seems to have enough throw and it's the outdrive shafts that should lock not the input shaft that your turning . It is quite hard to see though and it is moving around Maybe the servo end points aren't quite set right so it dosent have enough throw ? Can these be adjusted ? This was one of my worriers about the locking method from the start No doubt Arrma will sort it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimsnot Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The diff isn't always locking, the front and middle ones are fine... it's the rear one that is intermittent. You can hear in the video the noise the servo is making, the other too don't do this. When I removed the servo (2.50) it appear to work fine. The pins did feel a little stiff to move in and out, I did check for something fouling it but couldn't find anything. Popped a little grease on it, but it didn't help. I couldn't see any way of adjusting it no. Yes I had the same worry !! Wondering why I bothered with this version now..... saying that, when it worked it was fun doing some climbing with it. Also I found the car ran a little nicer in the woods with the centre diff locked. Hoping to hear back from Arrma soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Possibly just a bad servo then ? Have you tried one of the other servos? I wonder if you can find another to fit ? Maybe pop into your local shop ? Just teething troubles by the sounds of it bad servos happen even from the likes of savox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimsnot Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Might try one of the others yes Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeb Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Another day of my lad bashing the typhon, just absorbs the abuse and the tyre that let go in the vid isn't an original it's one of a kyosho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if the servo mechanism is centered / fitted correctly if it has never worked right. Seems to me it has too much throw pushing out (noisy) But not enough throw pushing in resulting in pins not being pushed all the way and latched (not so noisy). Might be worth fiddling with it as the servo looks ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimsnot Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Had to send it back in the end, a new servo was fitted. All working fine now. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCpete Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I used some from the Team Durango DEX8, i'm pretty sure you can use Mugen 1/8th diff shims but i could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
