Put some wd40 and hit it repeatly on the floor. Or gran the planetary directly out with a fin tool.

Awsome!

Thanks man! :)

Hey.. wait a sec..

There is a bearing infront of the outdrive..

[nuz69]

You put the wd40 in the cup, not outside ;).

[magman]

Remove all the gears and the outdrives are held on with a small pin...remove pin and bearing and done

[freeagent]

Doh!

Okay thanks guys

I clean my diffs and shocks with BrakeClean...works great. Usually one can last me a complete cleaning of all 3 diffs providing I flip diffs over and let as much oil drip out as I can before I clean.

Well, Ive been messing around with this thing in terms of diff fluids, and Im close! I played a bit with some placement of certain components, and Im content with this. Im going to scoop a set of revolvers like in the other photos, but they will be standard offset, with badlands mounted I do think I may need a better steer servo tho.. is 200oz enough? Because thats what I have on there now.. Unless my servo is worn out, it has had alot of use heh..

Other then that tho I like it, this thing rips.

I would get a stronger servo if it was me. I use a JR 9001T servo....http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...rvo-Metal-Gear This one works well for me

another...http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...rvo-Metal-Gear

no really good servo is ever cheap!

Holy carp mines just a little underpowered..

Thanks !

I knew it shouldnt suck that much lol

A few very common truggy servos: JR9100T, JR8711T, Futaba9351, ACE1015XP, Hitec 7955TG.

A good quality 200in/oz servo with a good speed makes all the difference!

Thanks, Im usieng an Airtronics 94361 at the moment. It does alright in my E-Revo, but this thing kicks its butt. I could try useing new axle carriers up front, Im not sure if that the proper name, but its like the revos.. They are almost sloppy loose right now, and still bind occasionally, like there is a step inside of them. They are from the previous owner, who raced it, so I can only assume they are fairly worn heh.

Well, I am about to order 2 mugen mounts, and keep the tekno chassis either as a spare, or take all of my spare parts and maybe a few dollars and make another one.. But I am looking forward to getting the buggy going, I have a feeling its going to be evil :) I took the truggy out for a boot the other day useing both 4s and 6s and dam its insane with high voltage, I like it :) I am getting a new steer servo for it, reciever, and another pinion since I looted it for use on my revo conversion. But in the mean time I thought Id post some more pix wooo

[freeagent]

Hey guys, Im haveing some steering issues that I havent been able to figure out, so I thought maybe I should ask.. Ive had the front end apart a few times, but maybe I did something wrong.. This thing steers like crap! It has such a large turning radius.. If I tap the brake into a turn its fine, but on its own, it takes at least the width of a normal steet, like a residential street.. Do you have any tips or tweaks youd like to share? Like how to get a longer throw? Ill rip it apart again right now, but everything is smooth, and bind free..

Edit:

OK! I figured it out lol, much gooder.

I'm curious what the problem was :)

Well, I guess the original owner of the truck didnt need very much steering.. because it kind of turned like a school bus.. He had the tie rods set longer then the 56.2mm the book specifies. I locked my verns at 2.210 and reset them, and gained sooooo much more steering throw, maybe 75% more then what I had originally heheh :)

I love this truck now! I woke up about 15 minutes ago, but once I can function normally I am going to take it out for a rip! Im sad winter is comeing.
