Think my filming skills are improving
The shocks are far too soft for off road I'm gunna put thicker oil in it. Probably 50-55 weight. Got 40 in it atm

Looks good, I see your used to holding small things in your hand, the screw driver I mean ????

 

[Seandonato73]

See im.not the only one that said springs ?

Ran my rig again today, did not record (just wanted to enjoy it myself, I definitely should have tho!), was a awesome run, cartwheeled it a few times, couple of big rolls, pulled a big ass wheelie down hill, didn't fek anything up. Till I brought it in to shut it off, I noticed when I pushed it, it would grind. So I took it apart and the hostile spur is totally feked. No biggy , they are super cheap. Or I might upgrade to steel or summin. Did about 25-30 mins ??

 

[DougStar]

Plastic gears suck??

 

[Z.hb71]

Plastic gears suck??

Yeah but metal are feking experience ?? 40 for a ddm steel gear . I

 

[21bangbang]

Jeesh you got bad luck. Im gonna stop teasing you and pray you get 2 runs in a row without failure.??

 

[Seandonato73]

Fek im.not even gonna say anything

 

[Z.hb71]

Add to the list, inner axle pin is going out (already), so I guess I'll have to listen to you guys and just buy the feking boots ?‍? fingers crossed after that it just stays reliable. Recently I haven't been having good luck , idk why. Before I blew that tire out it was quite reliable.

 

[Seandonato73]

Stop antagonizing me Z, you know how I like a good Zed bash ?

How old are your clutch carrier bearings Z? In my experience the plastic spurs only really let go if the bearings are done or big jumps landing on throttle

Brand new bearings ,came with clutch housing. Well I definitely was landing on throttle, not really big jumps tho.

 

[Seandonato73]

IT CANT TAKE THE PRESSURE SCOTTY!!!!

 

[evssv]

imo a placky spur is a good thing? as its the weak link in the chain? an cheap to replace ?
jus buy a few spares? an carrier atleast 1x with u when u go bash?
my baj used to eat spurs like a fat kid eats cake??

 

[Basher5iveT420]

?? Let it out Sean, holding jokes in is as bad as holding in a fart. Just let er rip ???


and reason why I sold my baja was. I would always break something every single time I bashed which got old real quick.

The metal doesn't give ,so any jamming will transfer the damage to the tranny!

Also ,when you install a more powerful engine ,maybe need to fabricate some kind of engine brace to keep
it from walking around on the chassy ,causing the gears from jamming!

☝? that's the issue in the first place, chassis flex.
