if my Baja rey doesn't need the mc 3rd member, then why do half of you put one on yours?
I think a lot of owners are trying to beef up the axle to withstand 3S operation.
no. never will.
This and we are not you.
Replaced my 3rd pinion bearing in rear and 2nd in the front and there shimmed. Running on 2s. This truck needs larger pinnion bearings
It is partially the housing and the work angle and bearing size. I went through with my axial yeti that has a larger pinion bearing but not by much. The bearings are to small for the speed and torque there being ran at inturn overheating the bearing. With the week housing it will let the pinion climb up the ring gear. This in turn increasing the work angle. I replaced the axle in my 4 times and replaced them all within weeks after being built with all new parts and top dollar bearings,gears locker and straps in my yeti. I went to a ssd Dimond witch has large pinion bearing and after 2 years the only thing i have had to do is replace a bent axle shaft.I thought we just went over this? CM9000 is the most bad assed toy car player wither out there. Everybody else is doing it wrong.
Greengoblin: I really think the housings are the problem, not the bearings. If you are replacing bearings, check to be sure that the new bearing fits in the housing snug, otherwise you'll still have sloppy gear mesh even with good bearings and proper shimming. I've replaced the front housing twice, and the last time both pinion bearings were still good. This time, I used an entire tube of super glue on the seam of the front housing, mostly near the outer pinion bearing, in an effort to keep the halves from spreading apart under load. 7) 7200 3s packs through it since then, and so far, so good. Rear end has been trouble free since the MC 3rd.
The MC third member does not work. The ring gear does not fit. Either I got bad parts or the rear ratio is different.
I would argue that the Rock Rey/Baja Rey deserve their own section as much as the Yeti/TT do.
Lol im still on my first body i also race. Maybe u need driving classes
