5.5mm is what I use for everything- cheap, readily available and easy to solder with just a ~50 watt iron.

someting is missing, i think it is the 4943 part from the t-maxx, is that right?

JoFreak · 11.20.2009, 10:32 AM

4943 should have the right part included, annoying that you have to buy the complete stering assembly to get the one part.
Did FLM not include one of those nylon spacers?
Back then with the gorillamaxx G3 there were 2 spacers included....

But I think you can just go to a hardwarestore and get a tube with the required diameter.

FLM have mave a bad work...they didnt shipper my shocktower and the front hybrid bulk didnt include the output for traxxas stoch shafts.

i have the 3905 tranny and FLM outputcup for the center, how do i put them together?..

i will put my lipo together in serie. is it possible to put + to - between the lipo and then + and - on the esc. then its an serie... or must i have a serie contact?

You put RED of the ESC on RED of battery one, put BLACK of bat1 on RED of bat2 and BLACK of bat2 to BLACK of ESC.
As for the drivecups and the tranny, I don't understand your problem.
Can you try to discribe it another way or make a picture of the parts?

Maxxrickard · 11.20.2009, 04:01 PM

to the outputcup i have to use one 4mm set screw but the out putshafts from the tranny have a opening to fit the traxxas stockcentershaft. the 4 mm screw will land up in the opening.
i would like to put the set screw on a flat area , but the only flat area on teh output shaft have a opening.
do you understund?or do i have to post at picture?

JoFreak · 11.20.2009, 04:30 PM

I think I understood...
I had the same "problem" with the tranny of my old maxx back when I still was planning to use ist. I just put the screws where the hole is and tightened them. As long as the diameter of the screw is lager than the diameterr of the hole, this shouldn't be a problem.
Use threadlock!

Maxxrickard · 11.20.2009, 04:36 PM

okey i will try that..maybe use a long screw and a nut?

JoFreak · 11.20.2009, 05:53 PM

no, only use one set screw, you want as much friction between the surface of the drive cup and the tranny outdrive, und you don't get that by applying pressure from opposite sides of the drivecup

Maxxrickard · 11.20.2009, 05:59 PM

okey i get it:-) maybe the opening in the outdrive is good.

Maxxrickard · 11.25.2009, 03:35 PM

FLM will send me an alu spacer for the stering.

i have change oil in my diffs. 7000 in front and 3000 in rear. but the front moves easyer than the rear, i wonder if i have to little oil.
is it possible to put the diff back in the wrong way...i did not force it togheter but i wonder if the small things inside are in the right position..

suicideneil · 11.25.2009, 04:48 PM

When putting oil in the diffs, the best way I found is to put the spider gears in, then put the oil in until its almost overflowing, then put the ringgear/cap back on which also holds the remaining spider gear- tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern (1,4,2,3, as though they are numbered left to right, top to bottom). Assuming you didnt miss out any gears or gaskets, and you didnt also fill the diff housing itself with oil, then when you try turn the wheels in opposite directions (on the front end, not connected to the tranny), you should feel more resistance vs the rear end. There shouldnt be any/ very much backlash between the diff and pinion gear either when you rotate the pinion shaft by hand.

i have FLM hinge pins and RPM arms. i have to trim the arms. but what is best, trim everything on one side or little on each side?

You can shave a little off each side of the arm to make it fit, probably best so that you end up with an even finish, not one side thinnner than the other (its only like 1mm so not overly critical). Nice job on the shocks, they look great, as does the rest of the truck- where did you find those really long rear posts ( square? )?
