Anyone into R/C?

Oof...

I won't lie, when the wheels came in I was half-tempted to put them together with my tires.

Resisting the urge to assemble shit

 

I find that if I let it sit too long it becomes all-consuming so I'm better off just doing it and moving on

 

My build is going to be delayed

 

Mine too, one of my diff skid screws just snapped in the axle housing

 

Awe fuuuuck that sucks!

Mine is just a $50 mistake - apparently I didn't read the fine print.

The mount I purchased is ONLY for the MR24 transmission. Yet the HD transmission has a "stock aluminum" plate so I'm assuming stock motor mounting.

Rather than dick around with figuring out a whole mount or plate or whatever, I just ordered the MR24 transmission (an upgrade technically).

 

Gonna fuck with this thing tomorrow. If I can't extract this screw I'll have to order another axle housing. $35 mistake due to shit provided hardware lol

 

Really hope you're able to

 

Oof, that sux. One of my biggest concerns is snapping a tiny screw in a place where it can't be removed.
But on the bright side, you now have spare axle parts.

 

So, rather than having a $50 paperweight I tossed it into the GX

Stock setup is all plastic





Install was really easy actually, just need to redo it because I guess I was supposed to use the provided pinion gear





Thinking maybe I can just leave it as is, buy a brushed upgrade motor, then swap it out when I need to pull the transmission again

 

And I just ordered an Injora brushed motor

Trying to keep upgrades on the GX to a minimum but fuck, it's got axles and now an HD transmission.

 

.

 

Red or purple?

 

Purple, so 50T meaning it'll crawl slow AF

Should be alright now that I've got a heavy duty trans right

 

I'm posting this as a means of providing info.

The stock pinion gear has 10 teeth, coming from my stock brushed motor in my SCX24.



The provided pinion gear from LGRP is 11 tooth.



One tooth makes all the difference.

 

@Kwikvette no dice on screw extraction. Placed an order for another axle housing. Save myself the headache. The cost of tools to get this out would be the same as just buying another axle so that should be here mid week. Also ordered all my paint supplies

 

Fuck that really sucks.

Send me the axle housing (empty) and I'll try to get it out?

 

Good stuff, have the purple in 2 of my crawlers and they're solid for the price

 

These showed up today. Solid brass, nice and weighty.

along with the screw kit.
Getting the silicone inserts to vent is kind of hit and miss. These do not, with a vent hole and talcum powder on the insert.

The other set with the white spokes I did the same way and they vent just fine.

 

Wheels look good!

 

I wonder if you cut a strip of gauze if the silicone would allow the vent to open. I almost wonder if you need to line up a hole in the silicone too...deeper vent holes
