That's good to know that other brands of wheels will fit.

I've decided to give the kit a go, I've been happy with my 3Racing XI Sport touring car so I should be happy with this.
What breakages have you guys had? Just wondering what spares to get, I'm almost tempted just to buy 2 kits.

Just the rear shock tower for me. After a boil the tower seems fine!

Would you guys say that mounting the esc in front of the battery, is the best place to mount it? The only negative I can see about mounting there, is that the wires to the motor are quite long.

Lower COG, more weight up front. I put my receiver there & the ESC up the back above the battery tray. had to dremel out the back of the folding trey so I could open it up & put my LIPO in.

What would you recommend as a good starting point for shock oils? 30wt front & 35wt rear?

Can anyone tell me if the gearbox internals use the same gear module as Team-C?
I want to put a geared diff in it. |

Hey all, i just finished the build, but i'm getting a weird and nasty transmission sound. See video below, and turn down the volume, its kind of loud.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR3HkOK7uTE I rebuilt the trans after i first heard this sound. Exact same sound after rebuild. I tried to keep the case screws looser but that doesn't seem to help. I've detached the motor, CVDs, and slipper and ran the thing with a hand drill and it still making the noise. I will say turning the trans by hand it has some sticking points and people did say that the trans in this thing isn't very smooth at first, but this seems a ridiculous. Is this just the gears wearing in? |

I'd take the topshaft , idler(s) and diff out of the trans and inspect those for burrs and flashes. Run an exacto knife through the recess between the teeth.
If there's one difficult area per turn of both wheels; it would be on the diffgear. If it's roughly 2 to 3 times per turn of both wheels: check the topshaft and idlers first. You could also try taking the gears out and reassembling one by one: driving the wheels and spur by hand you'd feel the problem disappear when the guitly element is removed (if it's only one) |

After reassembly it was much better, but still some binding. I've run a few packs through it and now its much smoother. Last edited by Khan48; 20-10-2014 at 11:22 PM. |

A little top tip from the olden days
Get yourself an old brushed 540 motor and a couple of D cells from you local pound shop Fit the motor and run the transmission on the bench connected to one D cell (1.5V) for the life of the battery. swap the wires round and and run it in reverse for the life of the battery This will give a much gentler run in |
