ran it for a short bit today.. its really smooth. only about 3/4 of a tank. i cracked my new shell, busted a front drive cup and tie rod. the gears didnt even get warm. most of the time i was in rwd on the pavement. not a reall good test today, but im giving myself a day off tomorrow to play with my toys and count my money. all seemed well with the gear train, but i really didnt put it throu the ringer yet.. i'll be more rested on friday
thats what i plan on doing moo. lots of burn outs and on throttle landings. i only run the mt tires on this rig so its all set up. im sure we arent going to see any heat issue, but i am conserned about all the pins, since they have had problems in the past.. we'll see but it looks good so farmooman007uk said:
.. the new metal gear set-up worked great. no problems what so ever. i ran a total of maybe 4-5 tanks.. hard tanks! ive never brok'in this many parts in such a short peroid of time. there is no slop and everything is still tight. there isnt much else to say.. it works and works well. i did what i could to put the system to its limits and found i was just breaking whatever was closest to the ground. on-throttle pavement landings from maybe 4-5' simply spin drive shafts. pavement doughnuts will smoke a brand new clutch and pop clutch springs. super sik off-road jumps will push the shock piston to the bottom of the 6mm shaft. redlining the mill while in mid flight "WILL" spin you backwards far enough to snap aluminum body mounts. full throttle runs for 3/4 of a tank on super ruff ground has no effect on the gear pins. but the hs-645 will evntually get stuck at WOT.(thank you p.b kill switch).so with that said. im a wise rc spender. i think long and hard about any rc purchase that i make. getting to veiw and try this product assures me that i should not be concerned how much it is.. and thats becouse it freakin works!! the one thing that i hate is unrealable parts. something that always brakes with no real fix. this is by far the "realist" fix that redcat has come out with to date. i myself have spent maybe $80.00 on a/b/c/d gears and it has ended my day prematurly a few times. who knows how much this will run us, but i'll take 2..thanx robthanx darrin-so when can we get them?-how much?-is it going to be a full package, or gear plate/clutch/hubs and seperatly the gears?
i did run a gear cover.a few times with out, but mainly covered. and the notch in the side of the chassis is not needed. the gears fit behind the chassis.Clubin said:
That is kinda what I thought, I see a new chassis without the large cutout in the near future.kryptonite said:
the bearings are the same size. i swapt mine out for the fasteddies after i was don testing it. i cant answer the "d-shaft" question. i never had that problem in either one of my rigs and it is just as cecure with the new plate. everything seemed good with the d-shafthamster huey said:
it just twisted and busted in 2. i did those while jumping off the loading dock and just keeping on the throttle..yolonda21 said:
i broke 2. the first one was my foult has the front drive shaft wasnt probely centered, but the second twisted off inside the diff case. rob has the tempered ones for sale, so i'll just get them on my next order. im not allowed to play with fire or sharp objectsmooman007uk said:
