capri-boy Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Would this be the right pinion gear for the standard Basher motor?http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__45529__17T_5mm_M1_Hardened_Steel_Pinion_Gear_1pc_.htmlRight fitting yh - Mod 1 5mm shaft. 17t will gear it up a little for some more speed.

yoodoo Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Well took the kids,dog and missus out today to walk the dog and I slipped my BSR into the car too...along with my Mobius.Took a few of the kids and dog then gave it to my wife to get some action footage of the car.Needless to say she ****ed around with the buttons after me telling her not to and spent 10 minutes recording bugger all And missed me wiping out the rear hub and pin(totalled)Still,the dog looked good on the vidJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic01 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not sure if this is right area,But my Basher Sabertooth needs it's diff oils changed. ( I'm new to all this but I know the stock, factory oils/water/whatever crap it is will be no good. ) Just wondering if anyone has a rough guide on easiest way to strip the car down and what to clean the diffs with, hot soapy water and a toothbrush i'd say? Then dry thoroughly?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then dry thoroughly?Thanks!Get hold of the manual first, some good tools and a clean spacious work area. I've not wrenched on that truggy but generally most are very similar. Remove the shell and wheels first. Rear end usually easiest - unscrew the 4 screws holding the rear diff to the chassis and lift it away - the centre rear dog bone will fall out (if it's got a cvd it'll come away with the rear end. You need to access the diff - look at the manual - unless it has quick access diffs you'll likely have to remove the diff housing from the arm hangers. I usually disconnect the shocks from the top of the tower to make life easier - rear dogbones will fall out. Once you've access to the diff housings then unscrew to access the diff - note which way round it fits in the housing - not all can be fitted only one way - then time to unscrew the diff. The manual will help here, but note how everything comes apart carefully - if it's shimmed at the factory you don't want to rebuild it and stick all the shims to one side for example. Once disassembled you need a solvent to remove the grease / oil that's in there. Washing up liquid and water will work but you won't get all of it off after, and thoroughly drying takes time. Most use a solvent that evaporates quickly - ipa (isopropyl alcohol) is good, cheap in bulk (ebay) alternatively you can use 1:! car brake cleaner (££ in spray form) - I use unleaded petrol as taught my the old man when stripping and cleaning old Ford carbs, cyclinder heads etc. Whatever you use take necessary precautions.Reassemble in reverse order, check everything mesh's up nicely and that's about it. There's likely lots of video's on the tube of you to help. Front end is a little more involved as it will be connected to the steering set up - most times you can get away disconnecting the steering arms from the knuckles, unscrewing the top plate from the diff and sliding it out - the manual will help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt888 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Looks great Matt,nice short vid too! Do you have links for the items you have put on it?JSorry I didn't put up the links sooner but I have been flat out busy.I fitted these front and rear. https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=64270I had to get these and use the front tower and drill holes for the body mount.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANSMANN-DEUCE-N-FRONT-REAR-SHOCK-TOWER-SPARE-PARTS-NEW-/310393660608?hash=item4844e764c0:m:mJsTN6UHkttqLrn4mDBFH8A Instead of getting 2 sets of the fronts you could get a set of these and use the rear tower as there is plenty of room under the body.https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=64271 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoodoo Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 What were the shocks like? What set up are you using now? I have just received through the post my new tyres and wheel...uber soft cmpound for the winter...Vid when fitted but have to wait on my rear hubs as they took a pounding with a kerb and the kerb came out top!J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt888 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've set everything to the max so the shocks have maximum travel it drives lovely, i highly recommend doing it when you order the shock get a couple of pack of the uprated spring kits.Did you say that the rear hub was snapped on yours? I've just fitted a set of front CVD's to the rear of mine they fit perfectly, I can't tell you how it drive yet though as one of the grub screws was rounded off in the hub and I managed to break the 17mm hex off getting it out.
