Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2006

Not really, I spent 4 hours servicing, putting new a-arms (replaced the old
ones with the newer 2.5 wide ones) and axles into my e-maxx (snapped another
rear w/e before last) so splashed out on some MIPS.

While I was doing it, I thought to myself, better check under the gear cover
and check spur and pinion mesh and clutch etc.

Forgot didn't I, went out for a spin, wonder why this thing isn't going
psycho like it normally does.  Hmmm, sh.t, one of the motors is cold and the
other one is STINKING HOT!!!

So take the cover off and what do I see??  One pinion grub screw had worked
out and the pinion had slipped towards the end (no power there), the other
pinion grub screw has also worked out, but that pinion spun 300 odd degrees
and locked itself in there.  DOH!!!

Anyway, took the pinions off, checked motors, lots of locktite later and
she's back together and going psycho like it does :)

I've been waaaaay to busy riding my mountain bike eveywhere to play with
cars lately, but I do have the nitro bug so this week end its get dirty time
down at the old quarry, Savage, Inferno, E-maxx, awesome :)

Cheers Dre
