evssv Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Mine is exactly the same Mike, a bit sloppy. In fact there is loose play all over (wheels, steering). I think I'll have to invest in a full set of bearings as well!fair nuff...I'll keep eye on it .Although when I do the alza swap I will do the rubber o rings in the cups to take up any play there....u got urs going again yet??

That's the one on mine, be aware you can only program it with the led box. The LCD/PC box doesn't work, yet. I'm guessing there will be an firmware update eventually.

evssv Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Yep got one, going to run on 4s for now until I've fitted new bearings all round as my Savage Flux doesn't like new ESC's for some reason!!!.lol..Hopefully this new one lasts for u.... .longer then a pack.... .

jordan_bench10 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) The play in the wheels can be shinmed out by adding washers on the drive cup behind the rear bearing of each hub Play in the staleering is normally down to wear on tie rod ball joints and slight slop from servos This slight slop on the servo grows through the steering components and makes it look like a huge wobble when its only a tiny bit on the servo lol Edited March 1, 2015 by jordan_bench10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I got new steering set up on the way....I'll see what I can do with the axles when it's a apart. .....spouse nothing I can do with the rods ends apart from new ones I'm guessing...

Make sure those purple spacers there can still turn a wee bit with the hexes done up tight, otherwise your new bearings won't last long.

Wrighty8766 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 yep...4074 2000kv ..so if I take a bit off these it should sort my problem out?? Either that or just wrap a little electricians tape around the motor! I think if you shave some off the posts then it will egg the mount a bit and it won't sit tight all the way around the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
