If you were addressing me...

I have a 19T Chameleon/Monster Stock 27T which I swap out.

I use regular ball diffs in the front and back. I did get a pair of aluminum outdrives (After the rear blew but before the front blew) to dissipate heat faster. I want to wait till I can fix both diffs before I rebuild both diffs. My LHS guy sold me the wrong D-Rings...actually he sold me T4 rings instead. I need the whole thing replaced...even the thrust bearing ect...

Any advice?

same 1st post ? for Platinum_Racing

anthony390

maybe thats it, your running the wrong parts

go check you part #s and then compare it to the real Part #s

and oh ya your running plastic putdrives right?

Hi People,

My Tc3 seems to always be consuming front wheel bearings. Almost every meeting I check the car and one or more of the front wheel bearings is almost seized solid. I've replaced them with teflon sealed bearings and still the same problem, so I don't think its dirt related.

I think I've replaced five or six bearings in a couple of months.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong?

what are you lubing or oiling it with

wow thats bad, ive had my teflons in for about a year and there still smooth. DO you race indoors, outdoors, carpet? have you had any bad crashes with it?

I've run my TC3 for at least five years & don't remember ever changing a bearing. I've got the inner seal removed & sometime when changing the front caster I'll put in a drop of Royal oil but otherwise I don't touch them. Have you been hitting stuff?

Regarding my front bearing consumption:

1. Yes I hit the usual number of barriers from time to time, but no more than most other racers I would guess.

2. I get Duratrax teflon sealed bearings, I don't lube them or anything, I just put them in.

In about a meeting or two, they just start to go crunch and I have to replace them again.

Are the Duratrax a problem???? Should I be looking at some other brand of bearing perhaps? What is a good brand of bearings, and do they sell a kit for the TC3?

try oiling them before you put them in and then you should see a difference

i would put 35 wt of pretty much any oil

i am guessing that the bearing gets hot and then the ball bearings in the bearing get flat on a suface and so the bearing would be called DEAD now

in other words a bearing that doesnt act like a bearing

anthony390

i would use 20wt - 35wt of shock oil

i find associated own teflons are fine can afford these ceramic things
