3Racing Sakura Zero S
#226
I had tried this new Xenon spurs. They don't fit very well on the Sakura Zero and Photon. The problem is that at the part where the adaptor mounts is thinner then any regular spur gears. This results the spur gear "floats" in the adaptor and wobbles.
Not sure if it is any different on the Sakura S.

Hmmmzzzzzz ok.
I thought that the alloy gear adaptor of the Sakura had thinner centring pins then the Photon.
I know i had to "adjust" my Photon gear adaptor because it would float as you say and would wobble.
I used the Sakura Zero gear adaptors on my Photon also and didn't had any problems with the Xenon gears

has anyone experienced wobbling spur gears and centre pulleys?
Nope haven't run the car, still building it. Yes the assembly was shimmed.
What's up? COuld it be a manufacturing defect?

I've just finished building my Sakura s last night, I have the hard carbon fiber chassis and I'm a bit puzzled as to what to do to hold the battery in. For the moment I'm just using double sided tape to hold it down and it seems very secure but it becomes a problem when I want to change the pinion or anything that requires the battery to be taken off. I have looked on rcmart and the 3racing website and I can't find either a bracket set or the Velcro straps from the up-model Sakura. Am I blind or is there something else I could do? I'm a tad weary of drilling into the carbon fiber so I would prefer an alternative.
Has anyone else noticed this and found a solution?

Also with the stock motor mount etc, what size pinions can I fit? Would 30-34T 48pitch fit?

... or any equivalent brand. I am using the Tamiya and Muchmore brands (but is currently out-of-stock with RC Mart). Should be 2cm wide maximum.

Oh I was just asking what I could fit not what I should. I'm going to be using a 17.5T brushless, so I was aiming for about a 34t pinion but I wondered if it would fit or not as there looks to be limited space in that part of the car.

Im building mine up now and I was wondering about the diff oil.
I see some guys have put 2000 stock weight in the rear and 500 in the front.
Well wouldn't you want it the other way around? so the front is a more similar action to a spool and the rear is like a smooth ball diff with no slip.
Thoughts?

Can someone please confirm - if i change to the vertical motor mount option (http://www.rc-mushroom.com/product_i...ducts_id=21480), will i need to change the topdeck also or would the stock do?
Also, can someone explain why there are 2 different lengths Universal Shafts for this kit? any advantages/disadvantages using either lengths?
Thanks in advance.
