the first pic is my double rear body mount, i had to get creative to be able to run the trinity pipe, and still mount the body

awesome dude :rock: one day when i grow up, i'm gonna have a truck as bad ass as yours

[pjabas]

so i had to do a little work to get my gear mesh a little better, i had to slide my tranny forward about 1/4 the width of a spur gear, i thought i could make it work by switching to a 1/8 scale clutch set-up, but it still wasn't perfect, so i had to oblong the holes in the chassis for tranny, ill try it out tommorow, i hope it works as good as it looks. :rock:

[pjabas]

gear mesh problem solved, vid to come soon

[pjabas]

when it rains it pours, i just went out to shoot a vid and my dammn throttle servo pooped out on me :cussing: oh well :D now i got something to do

[pjabas]

so its been a little while since my last update

i finally opened gallon number 3, i kept melting tranny gears, so had to buy a steel wide ratio gear, and i also had some problems with keeping it in forward :confused: while driving so i had to install my FOC, and after melting through a complete set of rims, in bout three tanks, i had to buy the rpm axle carriers to get the larger bearings that can handle the heat :D

i also had to lower it almost as low as it could go i but i soon will raise it higher so i can get some air and bottom out

i think i have most of the bugs worked out, so i hope i can get a video soon of the beast ripping up the yard :huba:

[pjabas]

so i was runnin it in the yard yesterday, and i could not, keep the temps down, i would richen then it would run like crap, lean it out a little and it would run to hot 260-270 ish, but then i noticed that the high speed needle, would turn really really ez, so i thinking bad o-ring, i have yet to look at it but i did pick up o-rings at the LHS when i when with my old man to buy parts for his heli :thumbs:


ill let you all know what i find out

[scoobie]

make sure you lubricate the orings before you screw them into the housing...you can use a drop of fuel on each oring

[pjabas]

yes yes lube is my friend :D

[J_Bone]

260-270 isn't that hot. Now when you said running in the yard, was it grass?

[AZRCaddict]

Grass will raise the temps if you run in it

[pjabas]

yes it was many ran on grass, but i also changed gear ratios and that also brought it up too, :D

so i had another issue today, when i went to start it with the roto start it would crank over nice but all of a sudden the motor stopped turning over, but the roto start still spinning, so i did some investigating and found the problem but before i tell anybody have a guess on what was causing it ??

[scoobie]

dirty/bad one way bearing...

[pjabas]

nope

[revofreak]

stript on the inside of the plate stuck at T.D.C

[revofreak]

were you high when you wrote that its very amusing :eek: I'm sitting here racking my thinker:D:eek::D

[pjabas]

stript on the inside of the plate stuck at T.D.C


nope, ill give you all a hint, the motor would spin over more if i had the truck leaning forward

[revofreak]

clutch was stock back to far

[pjabas]

dirty/bad one way bearing...\

well i thought i had it solved, i was thinking the shaft that goes from the one way to roto start kept working itself out of the bearing, and then not making it spin, so i just added another spacer on the backside to hold the shaft tighter in the OWB, it worked great for about half day then did the same thing so i took it apart tonight and i clean the OWB and it still did the same darn thing, then i looked at the shaft, and i noticed it was rough and chewed up, right about the area the OWB bites into it, is this normal ? or is it a bad shaft ?? or a bad OWB ?

[scoobie]

:Ddo I win a prize:blbl:

just for scoobie

[scoobie]

Its kind of hard to see, but as long as its not heavily scratched, its probably ok...throw a new OWB in and see what happens

[revofreak]

hey howd you get your clutch to mount im haveing poblems the first run a ran it threw the spring to the infinity and so i gota new clutch i gota integy but i cant figure it out my main probme is hows to keep the clutch on the motor?? ?? the new era kit didnt come with a new nut or any thing hopeing you can help me out here im in a rut :confused:

[pjabas]

mine came with everthing needed, the mount, flywheel nut,the throttle linkage, the little screw that goes into the shaft,it was in a little baggie, look again i bet you missed placed it

[revofreak]

ya i got the little screw but there is a hugew gap were the bell can slide

[pjabas]

i used an extra bearing
is your gap about that size ??

[revofreak]

i figured id try that but i gota get a bearing that size unless the old wheel bearings from the stock turnbucles are the same size i was trying to figure something else i was just wondering since were running the same motor in a revo i figured you would kn0w a way thanks i think ill do that ! hows your rig comin?
