Not sure if its the noise your talking about but check your gear mesh..sometime if it gets loose you can hear it lash if you hit the breaks when your in the air or on the box

me to im scratching my head as to why my truggy eats servos i have been through 4 servo in my truggy all epa set all okey and no rubbing at times i think its just a losi problem continued who knows

The track I was running on last weekend was extremely brutal on rear R&P's. There were truggies of all brands clicking from a rear end failure. I had mine start to go in warm ups for the main, and had to limp the truck around for the full 30 minutes. I know one guy that had 2 go that weekend. There is a guy that is doing a mod to the rear end that uses an xray XT8 pinion. He did some testing and found that the pinion is what is causing the problems. The contact patch is less than desirable even when brand new. I just ordered the parts to send to him. I will let you guys know how it goes. He has already been testing it himself as have a couple of other guys with good results.:nod:

What made the track brutal on R and P's? I am guessing high bite blue groove?

Lots of on throttle landings. Big pointless ski jump in the middle that required constant throttle corrections. Brutal rythm section that only a select few could do consistantly. More about the design of the track than the surface.:nod:

snapping noise 8t 2.0
 

thanks for all the suggestions,i just replaced the brake pads with hd's,an adjustment is probably needed,the noise did'nt take place until after changing the pads,thanks again.

Throttle or Steering?
I know you had the noisey steering servo. But have you had a prob with the throttle aswell

I have found that my Throttle servo was rubbing on the side against the plastic chassis guard. It hadn't caused me any problems, but i cut off that part of the guard so it doesnt rub anymore.
I know alot have had problems with the steering servo because the servo saver was to tight or the spring was not seated right. some have reverted back to the 8T spring instead or simply backed the spring off as far as they can before it hits the chassis. this seems to fix the problem for some but not all

can someone tell me what tool to get to change the pins out with?

this is what i use.

I just bought a new 8t 2.0 and put in the front and center smart diffs and drove it around the yard and mine made the same noise but I drove it on the track yesterday and it didnt seem to make the noise then and i ran about 7-8 tanks thru it

Same here, we lost three R&P gears last night it three differant trucks. LMk know how this works out I'm will to send some parts also, all three were lost in the main.

Will do! The parts should be to me tomorrow so I should be able to get them out to him soon after.:nod:

tix you wouldnt beleive it mate that new servo i put in for the final at the nationals it stuffed aswell , im not all that keen on getting another servo just yet steering i mean until i have soughted the problem out for sure , at this stage i could have bought another truggy on the amount of servo it has eaten :lol:
crazy man

bloody hell matt what servo are u chewing through
thats no good mate are u still running the same servo saver spring mod as others because u shouldnt have that
i have run it a tad loose as a precaution but it needs to be soughted it just seem rite mate :confused::confused:

all is set rite mate mods done ect they are the hitec 7955 servos not hitting any where rubbing on nothing epa set correctly whats happened is the servo still work but are louder than than truck driving past you man thay are loud , tix has heard them :D
