Thx in advance.. Very simple. It acts like any other online RC shop. It took about 3 weeks. It states 14-40 days (or something like that). Or you can pay a little more, for faster shipping. Junfac = Gmade, so you're getting the parts at source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BashingBrian Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Ebay 15% off atm, @AlignTrex it has some of the Gmade trucks..!! Grab 'em while you can 👍🏼 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Got the truck all wired-up, last night. Well... with the exception of the LEDs, but they'll come after the body shell is done. Got it driving and shifting gears. As I feared, it's not as quiet and smooth as my GS02, and the front axle was thumping a little bit. It did get better. I might try and shim the front axle (it was the rear I tried), but we'll see. It's not bad. Typical trail truck, but not up to the Gmade golden standard. 20211102_113706.mp4 EDIT: With further experimentation, it turns out that the rattle is coming from somewhere within the gearbox, not the front axle. The force was just being transferred into the axle, along the propshaft. I'll have a look and a think. I don't want to strip it all down, as it's quite a big job and I hope it will quieten with use. We'll see. Edited November 2, 2021 by PraetoR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Sonds like theres a high spot somewhere Check the spur/pinion mesh at various points just to see if theres a high spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a weird set-up, that's housed-in and is completely shrouded. You just turn the motor, until the mount locks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomr Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 Seeing as all my Xmas guests have left 🥳 and I’m waiting on a few bits for the GSO2F build to arrive I thought I’d make a start on the R1 . This won’t be anything fancy just a basic stock Kit build with a brushed 550 motor set up, I’ll only be using it for a bit of fun on woodland trails . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
