You need some of those fake buggy badlands on there, will rip up the grass and have your car stay not so clean .

Does yours work well like that? I need to mount the wheels the other way around, with the inside out, so that red adaptor thing goes in the hole of the wheel and the chrome nut locks the wheel from the inside of the hex... Or maybe I just don't get the design .

Since there is no instructions... there are various ways of doing the same way.

Youtube videos show's what you are saying but for me i don't get it, i get it work like the pics i show.

In my opinion there is various ways of doing the same thing.

Not saying mine is right or wrong!

-Orings grease... wrong,right? It slide's better!

-Spring only, no shock oil inside it!



-After the clean, this is how the shocks oil's was!

And now after clean, new socks! :P

So a couple of more things done to it...

Tested it's speed:

-77kmh!


-82kmh!

And then after some use, it broked a pinion tooth!
Some Wd40 on the screw's... and i had a rotten screw... grrrr



-Used an american hex 0,078" that grabbes better on the rotten hex of the screw and lickly it pulled out without ruin the motor mount with the dremel to flat a head on the screw to remove! The pinion only got out by heating up to melt the loctite glue! Nothing big deal, but good to know!

Then it was time to atack the pins on the central shafts....since i bought it on second hand that they were wear out, but i still use it...cause i haven't the tools or knowlodge to remove old and put new!... And not buying new CVD's cause those ones are in perfect shape, less the pins! lol


-Used some 2,9mm from my mp9e to pull them since they are 3mm....

Tought job!



-First thing. Remove the central shafts!


-Go for the rear now! :P


-It must be an heavy hammer. A normal hammer won't do nothing... just tickles! Used an 4mm socket to hold the shaft on hammering!


-The easy part is done.


-That screw with a pin, i used a 3mm steel drill to make the hole for the pin! Reason is to hold it on the vise.




-All aligned and brute force on the vice...


-Since the new pin starts and grabs the hole, i prefer to remove them from the vice and hammer on the sock!




-Did the same to the front!


-Done!

For this Xray i use the Mugen pins, they are the same....look at this pic posted twice


-For the Mp9e i use a 2,9mm steel pin's i got from ebay, a bag of 100 around 5$. They must not be 3mm like this Xray.

-This video was the inspiration, but buying a dogbone for 7$ for 2 pins...no thanks! Either way, way much cheaper then a hole CVD for 40€, lol.... Changin pins is the most dificult job in the rc world!
