Well Tonight i started a project. My flux was Dirty and the pinion was stripped so i thought i would tear it apart, clean it up and throw on some upgrades i had in the garage, collecting dust.
As i started tearing into it, ive found a few thing that were i need of repair since the last run.
1) 20t pinion
2) Drive gear (18-23t)
3) upper arm
4) SHD Dog bone
5) rubber rings in the diff cups
6) Servo Horn was about to fall off
7) Rear shock bolt bent
8) Chipped drive cup
Thats all ive found thus far i still have the front end to go though. I guess it was time for a tear down...
I started with this.
I replaced the stripped pinion with a 18t. I have ordered some 4200mah 35c lipos to run 5s in the flux so under some advice I'm going to re-gear it to be safe.
The Stripped Drive gear i replace with the HD drive gear. Had to clean out the inside of the trans case to, what a mess of metal dust...
I Added a HPI Suspension Conversion set while the truck was apart, as well as HPI sway bar kit, and a PRC wing mount and pro-line wing. The Bullet proof diffs were still in perfect shape after all the abuse so thats a plus. lol
Heres the main Chassis cleaned up. Still using the TCS TVP's. Super tough and perfect fit. Running an Ace 1015 servo for steering.
Here's the Rear section Almost complete, minus the shocks, and some tweaks.
And partially assembled. I may lower the wing yet, it looks a little high.
So all thats left is the Front end tomorrow and and the shocks and tires and its all set!
