Granby Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Seems my E-Revo has a little cousin , done a couple of little mods already to the summit, changed the rockers for MERV ones and put ball bearings in instead of the plastic bushes, also changed the steering plastic bushes for ball bearings and finally (for now ) i've lowered the body a bit as it sat too high for my liking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granby Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 No real mods done lately but sorted a couple of things, got one of the V2 covers from vladimir and it fits 100% better on my truck than the old V1 cover, as i had sway bars the V1 cover was very tight over the front saway bars and in fact split the cover because of movement, now its a much better fit , the cover is held on by velcro as is my bodyshell, so i fix the cover to the edge of the velcro which means i can still fix the bodyshell without going back to fiddly clips Also tidied up the motor wires by using a p clip fixed one of the fixing screws for the fan & heat sink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 yeah that looks sweet mate!!!!! i have that problem when i need to put the cover on i cant use my velcro which is on my battery trays i put some velcro on the cover earlier put it does not hold well , i still have a brand new spare glove not opened yet im going to speak to vlad to see if i can swap it for a V2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 The velcro won't stick very well to the fabric (as you found out lol), it has to be stitched on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granby Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Oh dear i had a problem today, was running for about 25mins on my first pack of 4S and then all of a sudden i hearh a nasty crunching noise and lost most drive, thought at first it might of been the diffs but on closer inspection it seem the gears have been trying to get out of the gearbox lol Can you get a complete gearbox for these as modelsport don't list it just the parts and casing?

zebrevo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) wierd place for the case to go isn't it?? the centre gearbox is really well sealed so I wouldnt have though a stone could get in there? I'd say the centre box of mine is the most intact of any part on mine!!! you'll find out once you get inside it!

Yeah strange isn't it, i think a bearing has let go as you can move that gear about a little bit, let the surgery begin (maybe tonight or tomorrow to be precise ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well i couldn't wait so heres what if left of my gearbox, looks like to me that the bearing on the idler gear let go and so was shaking around in the gearbox taking out the other gears and gearbox casing , oh well off to find all the bits now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Blimey, wonder what went on in there?! Seems one of the gears must of been allowed to move about, and just tore up everything Bad luck mate, I'm suprised that happened on 4S.
