However are you sure its the EXB 6S? You sure its not the 8S one with that Combo? Sorry, yeah it’s the 8s, the big daddy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Ive provisionally sold my EXB To a friend. However. We got it running today with a Max 6/1650 Combo. It ran fine but then after a few mins we noticed a loud “click/crunch/crackle” under initial HARD acceleration. It ran fine regardless but everytime we hit full throttle hard it made this noise. It felt like a mesh/slip/lash of gears, potentially from the centre diff. We ran out of time before we could strip it down, but what do you guys think it could be? I think the centre diff may be too low on oil (both in thickness and oil level so this is what we will check first, but obviously I cant sell this like this so need to sort it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get away with a certain amount before the scales tip, but spend too much time and/or money on the hobby in a short period of time and prepare for battle!! 😬 I mean, you can’t exactly sneak one of these into the house either. I need to wait for her to do something wrong, then I’ll grab one quick 😇 Edited June 29, 2021 by Ant.p 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to save a little more and buy new! on a different note, took the notorious out today on the new badlands and modified servo saver (with a few circlips), and all was well until the servo gave up and I lost steering. It’s a crap servo anyway so not too sad about it, but can anyone recommend a fast and tough one and also a servo saver that’s adjustable? Thanks!

Ant.p Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I opted for a servo from Amazon. Apparently 32kg @ 6v which is quite impressive.

Logie Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Been doing my diffs, went to do the rear and noticed im missing one of the LSD plates, got 2 of the star ones but not the circle one. Anyone else notice this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BashingBrian Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 EXB diffs require 3 plates or shim spacers if running an open diff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logie Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Mine has just 2 plates, no shims but at least the plates are cheap and they turned up quickly so can finish it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logie Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Any advice on how to setup the rear diff as open? Atm it has 1 large shim, 1 small. Then i got star, star, circle LSD plates then gear. insert cross pins and gears, then gear, circle, star, star, large shim, small shim. Problem i have now its jammed when the diff is put together. Should i be removing either 2 large or the 2 small shims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the diff is getting bound up when reassembling, make sure all the gears are in the diff Cup and move freely then place the crown gear on top locating the pin the the rear of the gear. The only other thing I can think of is make sure the lsd plates are in with the smooth edge facing in. this may help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hainesy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Have decided to sell my Arrma EXB 1/8 as I have picked up a Mojave EXB and a new 1:1 toy so can't really justify keeping all 3..!
