BK Wanderer question

[Sylvester]

Hey, good to hear you got your 8xl, the 3 wires that pop out and that have an opening shouldnt be used with hot glue, i remeber reading that you can use shoe goo, but im not 100% sure. If you arent gonna be running in sand than i dont see why it cant be left open.

[BrianG]

Well, I don't plan to run in sand, but I'm sure I'll be in dirt. The way I drive, I'll be on the lid more than on the wheels (would be nice to devise a way to use the 3rd channel to power something that would flip the truck back over!). It might never be a problem, but I really want this to last and I figured the better I have stuff protected, the better.

[Gustav]

I use a silicone gun for around the wires and any unused mounting holes.Only way to protect the front bearing is with a gear cover.

Yeah,a self righting mechanism would be handy,little CO2 strut or something.

[BrianG]

gear cover??

[Gustav]

Yeah,you know,plastic thing that covers the spur and pinion.Just saying,not much else you can do about the front bearing i can think of.

[BrianG]

lol, ok. I thought you meant some type of special washer or something that would go between the pinion and the motor. Me and my brain farts!

[Gustav]

:027: lol.
