While preparing my car for the upcoming state series I happened to notice that the 19t gear on the mid-shaft looks like an egg. The gear has rotated about 45 degrees on the hub. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. Has anybody else had this happen or is it just me? Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening again?

Thanks,

Haven't seen that happening. I want your engine
Before you just replace the pulley, have a look at the alu part. The flat spots can wear and make it easier for the pulley to slip.

A trick to prevent this is using a bit of silicone sealant or thick thread lock between the adapter and the pulley. That'll stop any play from develloping.

Jag....must be the motor that I sold you I would change the aluminum if there's any sign of wear. You better go over that car real good because Niketa is coming on strong this year

I did see that 3racing makes an aluminum 19T pulley. Maybe I will give that a try. I have to replace the aluminum adapter because I can't get the pulley off. The adapter is not very old. I will try putting some silicone on the adapter this time.

The motor is Francis' old Rody and it flies!

I guess I better get going. My car is still broken from the Fort last time.

Sorry if this comes in late. Is your aluminum bell old or new?

I tend to agree what joemugen has mentioned. However, I have found that if the 2 speed aluminum bell wears out in the inner side, the gap between the white shoe and the aluminum bell widens and any which way you adjust the spring tension on the shoe would not make the 2nd gear shift. I find that if you do not sand the white shoe with sand paper to clean it (very bad idea), the white shoe seldom wear out. The aluminum bell wears out faster.

That's the time you know that you have to get a new one.

From what I can remember, when the aluminum bell reaches to 0.5mm thick, then it's time to change.

Hi guys,

I am using the new chassis and I have a problem with the height of the exhaust. It's now about the same height as the chassis and it hits the ground when there is chassis roll going round a sweeper.
Any of you encounter the same problem?
Any suggestions for remedies?

Cheers...

Have you tried another spring? I have a spring with an option to mount the exhaust higher.. of does the exhaust hit the ground just after the exhaust-bend?

Darth Vader

No, it hits at the fat muffler part. I'll try mounting it higher at the springs and see if it helps.

Cheers...

i have a mount with 2 holes in it.. so i can mount it higher...

Darth Vader

I think mine has too...
OK, I'll check and try it this weekend.
Thanks...

Hi,

I just bought a Max Power 2615E pipe for my 710, unfortunately it uses a different manifold to a Max Power 2602 or many Novarossi's. The inlet from the manifold to the pipe is bigger.

Does anyone know of another brand manifold that will fit as the Max Power is out of stock in HK.

Thank you

I believe none at this moment..
