Mack1 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Today I had delivered a DDM 9500k clutch spring. No reason for ordering one I just thought why not. As luck had it, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as on stripping the engine down found the pinion to be toast. (Wondered why there was metal dust all over the place when all the grass was removed) Guess it's back on the net again ordering more parts. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Go Blackbone and you won’t have to change the pinion again any time soon 👍 https://www.rcmax.co.uk/blackbone-racing-products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 That was an option I looked at first. Mainly as I looked at the 10k spring from there first before settling on the 9.5k from somewhere else. The blackbone stuff use a different fitting so I would have to buy the clutch bell aswell many ££££££££. Not a bad idea for future project as I like their 10k clutch which is reasonably priced and would suit their clutch bell perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like either the engine moved or the diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 At this time mate I'm going to put it down to age of the pinion and extra power from the obr engine. Pinion is original to the truck from new (8yrs)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It’s done well to last that long 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 I have ordered a new one today hopefully here for tomorrow, and with some luck I may be able to have a thrash around this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
