NOFX Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The spur gear in mines slightly warped and made a horrendous noise. It's sorted itself out after 3 15 minute runs. Mines got peanut butter in the rear diff too.i ain't looked in the front diff yet. They're the loosest diffs I've ever encountered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 A good soak in washing up liquid should rid the diff of the peanut butter. Then a thorough rinse & drying before packing with real grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 How did this happen not even used it yet and I've already taken it apart and yet more peanut butter in the front diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Has anyone had the front off there's ? because the front diff on mine is very tight and binding even with a strip and rebuild with proper grease just gonna run it and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Right a little bit annoyed now don't know if it's because the lipo isn't fully charged but my outlaw is very slow with the BL system it's a TRACKSTAR esc/motor combo the motor is a 3520kv so the same as the GoolRC combo I assume ? but it's nothing like the ones in the video it's so slow and under powered and is clogging quite a lot to any suggestions ?

RC4WD fan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 happy again now had a little blast don't know how but it was the RX/TX at fault not the original a different one I had for a while it now rips still clogging a little bit but I'm happy with it now let the modding begin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 What weight shock oil are you lot using. I've got stock in mine at the mo. It's nice & fluid over rocks, but bottoms out a lot. I'm more into the king of the hammers/ ultra 4 stuff rather than just blarting over stuff at full belt with my outlaw. I've got other trucks for the full belt stuff.

gavinda Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Just bought my outlaw this week and after one run on nihm the esc is dead. So I’m not looking to upgrade to a brushless system. I’m really interested in wsome of the cheap Chinese stuff but have two questions: 1: shaft size? I know we are stuck with the stock 17/23 tooth pinions but what size is the motor shaft? 2: motor kv? I’ve never bought brushless stuff before so I don’t. Really know what I’m looking for. All I can say is I’ll be running on 3s and wou”d like a mix of speed and crawl. And yes im aware of cheap;fast;reliable ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I had a gool brushless system in my kyosho axxe. It's got a 5mm shaft.So I drilled the pinion out to 5mm with my pillar drill. If you've got any engineering shops near you, someone'll pop the pinion in a lathe & sort it for a couple of quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinda Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ta, was hoping for more of a plug and play option, but at least I know what to do otherwise now thanks. Is is there no other option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 You could buy a 5mm bore pinion with the correct pitch. ( 32dp, I think. But don't hold me on that) . Have a good look about on Google. There's bound to be a 3.17mm shafted brushless motor on there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ta, was hoping for more of a plug and play option, but at least I know what to do otherwise now thanks. Is is there no other option?Search for this item number on ebay 112677523377This Is the one I have in my outlaw and it works fine with the standard 17tooth pinion, all you will need is a sensored or sensorless esc and your good to go.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
