froggy8 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 thank you Andy, when i manage to take the seal off, do you use a tiny flathead screwdriver and scrape bit of grease with it and put it in the bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hey Andy, had a quick look at yout thread and you cleaned your diffs with brake fluid and the diff housing you used duck oil, problem is i dont have any of them. all ive got is electrical cleaners, halfords carb cleaner and bit of nitro cleaner. i was thinking filling a cup with petrol and put my diffs in there and clean the diff housing with carb cleaner, what do you think?

Andythecrane Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Chassis looks OK. But your spur gear has seen better days. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 the engine got loose and stripped the spur gear and upon close inspection the screws wouldnt tighten up onto the engine mount so i put some fresh ones in and just waiting on all the parts and il be doing a full strip down ( it will be my first time ever!). hopefully il have it all end of this week and the build can commence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spannermonkey Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Looks good buddy. One word of advice, if you intend running it swop the yellow tie on the exhaust coupler for a wider one. That will cut through the silicon very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 took it out for a test, when i put throttle up, it seems hesitant then speeded off. could that just be tuning issues or slipper clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 More likely to be tuning. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
