Bearing Issues
Bearing Issues
My rear gear box pinion bearing has gone out for the 2nd time. First set of bearings lasted about 10 races this last set only make it through 4 race days and some practice. Running a hobbywing 4700kv anyone else run this motor or a Tekin 4300HD having this problem. I never had this problem with my tekin 4600 or Schuur Speed 4800.
I have a set of Avids that I am going to install we'll see how long they last.

I did... I put most of it together last night. ordered the 2.0 braces. I heard the plastic ends are the weak link. The part number for them is the whole brace. Can I just buy the plastic ends to have as spares? If so what part number am I looking for? Is there a more heavy duty option for the plastic ends from a different company or perhaps off the 8th scale buggy? And yes I know to screw the set screw all the way into the plastic to make them last longer.

When steering to the left, I cannot seem to get full throw. The steering knuckle is about a few millimeters away from getting to the caster block.
When I turn up my EPA higher, it appears the steering tie rod (for the servo) bumps up against the drag link -- not allowing the full throw. (Steering to the right does not cause this concern b/c the steering tie rod goes away from the drag link.)
Anyone else experience this issue?

I run a torque Rod on the Rear end on my 1.0 SCTE its not screwed in maybe not quite in all the way but i never broke the ends on them.
One other thing is to check the screw and nut that goes underneth the chassis it can get loose and could break the ends if you dont tighten it up so check it .

Im willing to bet its the inside hole on the Losi servo arm that is causing it i couldnt get the steering tie rod to stop hitting againest the servo case . So i been using the Outside hole on the Losi horn no issues with that.

I really don't want to dremel down the drag link to allow more clearance (making it weaker).

For those running big, outdoor, low-traction, dusty, dirt tracks, where are you liking your droop set? Are you setting with the droop screws or shocks? thanks for any advice
