Stormbringer Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Ohh we slackened of the mesh a touch and its a lot quieter now and not making the noise it was before but there does seem to be a high spot on the spur gear so meshed it at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPeaski Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 What are you guys using for a main light kit? I've got a link to the lightbar from @everclear1984 build thread, but it's bewildering trying to find the right head and tail light combo. I'll be using the extra channels on the transmitter to switch them on/off so have a couple of controllers bookmarked. Nice bit of father son rivalry there @Stormbringer @Yrkoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Were using these 1 set front https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=368699 and 2 sets rear https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=368698 roof bar https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383404194174 We cut the plugs of and solder the sets wires up and put 1 plug back on so they can be plugged into receiver/controller hope that helps Edited March 7, 2021 by Stormbringer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brains Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Today it was one of those days, one step forward en 3 steps back, thought I had almost a rolling chassis and I had only put the esc and reciever in and put the wheels on, when I tested the car without wheels I ran into 2 problems, the first one was that the rear and front axle rotate in the opposite way from each other so the front go forward and the rear goes backwards, that was an easy fix swapped the ring gear on the rear axle to the other side and problem fixed. But then the biggest problem that I have is with the solid drive shaft between the 2 gearboxes, mine is not straight so it vibrate the whole car and you can see the gearboxes moving in the chassis so thats not good, I am going to search for a different kind of driveshaft that is not one solid piece. for me it is a little bit of a odd choice to use a solid shaft, if the gearboxes are not aligned 100% or the shaft is not straight you got a problem. So I had to remove the axle centergearbox and some other stuff, so not so much as a rolling chassis now😬 Edited March 7, 2021 by No brains 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 pity about that we didnt have any problems with ours just screwed straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) No issues with the connecting shaft here either. Something must have been misaligned when you assembled it, though I can't think how. If you're having to change to a flexible shaft then imo you're just masking the problem, not fixing it.

There is not a misaligned here and you can't put the gearboxes in the wrong way, its is the shaft that is not straight on mine it has a wobble in it and being solid it has no give, the gearboxes wobble in the chassis with this shaft, I ordered a flexilbe shaft I can't see why it wil not work they are used most of the time in crawlers. ordered this one https://www.asiatees.com/display?Boom-Racing-All-Parts-Hop-Ups-Upgrades&brand=Miscellaneous&model=All&id=152626&pid=1 Edited March 7, 2021 by No brains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind, hopefully you'll be up and running soon 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
