Blow it up Frank, you gotta live on the edge!!

Citizen - THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY CORRECT!

I made the same mistake. You could have done one of two things:

1. Put in the case backwards on the chasis so the metal gear isn't in it's grove

OR (and probably the real reason)

2. You didn't tighten down the Diff Case enough. Take it apart and give those 4 screws a really good CRANK. Then, (while your at it), but some of that grease they give you in the kit onto the metal gear.

That should not turn with any difficulty under any circumstances. It needs to be as smooth as a baby's a$$.

If I were you, I'd take it apart and get it right before proceeding.

I definitely had mine narrowed down to the right front hub bearings. Because with just the CVD attached to the hub, it was binding a little. So maybe I misunderstood the question.

These are the weird noises I was talking about. Tell me if you can hear them or am I just imagining them.

I don't hear anything but motor cogging. Maybe put it on a stand and give it throttle while turning the steering, see if you can replicate it that way.

Explain that to me please. Is it supposed to sound like that?

This was pretty impressive...

+ YouTube Video

awsome vehicle!

I'm not sure I'm hearing the same thing you're talking about.

I doubt it will be by the end of the week, guess you should see what else you can find.

So it sounds normal to you?

I only watched it on my phone. Let me grab some dinner and watch it on my desktop. But from what I hear, everything sounds normal.

I had picked up the 1900 used from another member here on retech and it wasn't working properly from the get go. I contacted the member and he didn't hesitate to tell me to send the motor back to him so he could send it back to Tekin for warranty and then send back to me. He sent me a pm a couple days ago saying Tekin was sending the motor back to him and when he got it he would send back to me. So now I just wait patiently for the 1900 to arrive but with a perfectly working 2050 I haven't skipped a beat. Plus I have my SC8e set to arrive tomorrow and have a bunch of new goodies here at my house waiting to install in it! That's gonna be a bitchin truck!!

Oh cool! Hope everything works out.

Slash, I agree with Gregg. It only makes the noise sometimes. They all do it. If you go way back in this fourm you will see others talking about it and there is a full explaination about it. Something about the design causes it. I cant remember exactly.
