same thing with shaft cam

 

[DougStar]

I have changed out my pinion ?? losi 5b comes stock 20 tooth
I changed to a vertigo 21 early on now I'm going one up with a vert. 22??
There is quite a big difference between the two ??? now just to get the rig on the turf???
So the inserts for 20 and 22 are the sam just reverse it so instead of the number facing the tank it must now face the radio tray??

 

[DougStar]

K I have some updates?? unfortunately it's not all good new?? my motor started making a poop noise few weeks back?? did some trouble shooting on it
Re gapped the coil changed the starter?
Stripped the motor down and found horizontal play on the crank??? not throughing a sausage down a corridor ?? but more than it should be.....enough to hear a click. .........So I have stripped the motor right down and I'll rebuild the bottom half
Made a short vid of the noise???

Wow yeah that's not good. Not sure what kind of damage it woulda caused but good thing you caught it. Is the crank fekd? Or bearings?

not throughing a sausage down a corridor ??

Throwing a hotdog down a hallway you mean ?

 

[DougStar]

I think it's the bearings..? hope it's just that ?

 

[Z.hb71]

I think it's the bearings..? hope it's just that ?

Even if it's the crank, think just $50 ?? vs looks 300 for the 70cc crank ?? wonder what caused that ?

 

[DougStar]

Feked if I know......

Might need to take extensive pics, an we might need Sean in here. Hell have a idea I'm sure ?

 

[DougStar]

Asked him few days back we kinda came to the same conclusion

[crucialRC]

That sucks. I believe cranks are on BF sale at DDM tho.

 

[DougStar]

I'll crack it open first and see what's what first?? also put through ddm bf order already so........if it is the crank it will have to wait till. 2020 some time??

 

[DougStar]

K so cracked open my motor and the bearing closest to the flywheel is feked?? when y spin it its hell noisy took some pics

The good one?
The bad one ???
So these are the ceramic bearings.
Now just to put it back together ??

 

[cbaker65]

If it was that sloppy ,I would also think that you would have some oil & fuel leakage + air leak ,maybe causing the
engine to run bad!...

 

[DougStar]

Was having a bit of a hard time keeping it tuned..... this is when it started......in the vid I mentioned that the starter was feked
But the noise was the bearings ????

 

[Z.hb71]

Yep that's fekd mate

 

[DougStar]

Got the bearings in with help of the hot plate .......after they cooled off fitted the seals?? wanna pick up some hardware tomorrow and I'll put it back together ???

 

[AnubisBC]

Yikes! That sucks mate. Hopefully the cylinder didn't take too much of a beating.

Good on ya for figuring it out before everything detonated! ?

 

[DougStar]

Cylinder and piston are still sweet??

Yikes! That sucks mate. Hopefully the cylinder didn't take too much of a beating.

[Seandonato73]

Glad you caught that in time mate!
