Stampede Tranny Help

[Skelbow]

tryin to assemble the FLM Stampede tranny, but I seem to be missing some screws?



someone who has one of these trannies.. should there be little countersunk bolts for those 4 spots; because my package came with none?

Nor do I know what half the screws that came with it are for.. there are some really long ones.. half threaded 35mm bolts, and I have no idea where they go either.

Thanks.

Those should already be on a Stampede. I think they were expecting that you would re-use the stock tranny mounting screws.

Those holes are used to hold the plate to the actual case itself I believe. I think the stock screws may be used for those, actually.

[Skelbow]

yea.. there are 6 holes to reuse the stock bolts

but the 4 to hold the suspension bracket onto the bottom of the tranny don't exist on the stock tranny.



see?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The screws for the suspsension arms should have been with the tranny

[Skelbow]

I think I'm missing the 4 bigger bolts that hold the suspension parts onto the bracket as well..

I'll hunt down Fast Lanes Email, and shoot them a messag and see what they say.

For me all hardware was included. Simple E-mail To Info@fastlanemachine.com would do the trick.

I noticed your arm mounts appear to be relatively straight from front to back.
I also got the stampede transmission and got all the hardware.
My arm mounts have an angle to them and no matter which way I mount them I either have a lot of toe in or toe out.
I've tried flipping the arms themselves and swapping the mounts from one side to the other but nothing works.
Are there more than one type of mounts fastlane is producing?
Here are some pics

I think FLM only makes the arm mounts with toe-in. There are other companies that make them with 0*, though.

[Skelbow]

mine seem to have zero degree.. there is no toe in at all. I'll snap a pic to show...

and I talked with FLM and they are sending the missing screws right out! :cool:

EDIT : Here's the pic, look for yourself.

[rkman]

I just checked the packaging that the transmission came with and it has 4 degrees hand written on the label.
There are 4's stamped on the arm mounts which you can see in the top pick of my post.
Looks like there are more than 1 kind of mounts Fastlane is producing. :M:

Here is a close up of the arm mounts on the tranny compared to yours.

There are 4 degree arm mounts and one degree arms mounts for the rear arms. The one degree mounts will seem like there is very little, if any toe in. Glad you got the missing parts on the way.

[rkman]

Didn't know there were options.
I'm not really fond of the toe in with the 4 dgree mounts.

Any way I can get a pair of the 1 degree mounts from you Mike?

[RC-Monster Mike]

Of course. I am not sure if I have any sets in stock by themselves, but I will be sure to get some when I place my next FLM order(next day or so).
