Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck

Fast eddy.

Ok I think I got it figured out. My buddy liked the idea too. So to run the mip #11111 yokes, just cut down the losi grub screw pin part and run 2 in each side and the cut down pins will meet in the middle. Because drilling the outputs sounds easy but I'll pass on that.

I purchase the Yokes that we were speaking about. This is a photo of the yoke installed and you can see that the pinhole does not line up.

Well, you could always just grind that flange down.

Ill Just drill the pinion and transmission to the industry standard size pin. The losi pin is known to brake and strip the head

Look up Jims bearings on Facebook

Will do. I've tried Fast Eddy and Avid. Thanks all!

I mentioned it twice you will need to grind down that lip a little. Plus if you run 2 cut down losi grub screws, they shouldn't break.

Edit: and the mip grub screw (1.5mm hex) also strips the head easy and have been broke too.

So grind 2 yokes then grind 4 pins then grind 2mm of the end of the pinion and transmission. Thats a lot of time and disassembling the truck to get the transmission out

Lol cut off wheel the pins and grind down what 2mm off the mip yoke vs drilling the pinion and tranny output? Tranny has to come out to drill that.

Grind 2mm off the pinion and tranny? What? Why?

Drilled both in the truck took about 60 seconds

No more spring cups pushing past the rod end on our bajas no more.

Thinking about ordering 20m and bad horsie diff grease. Anyone have any run time input on either or both? Are these the top choices or is there anything stronger/better? Im wanting to run in front and center diff on a RR.

Do you still want it to spin or do you want it locked? The badhorsies is nice but it still allows some diff action. If you want it more locked then use a diff locking putty.

How come you didn't just run it as a Rock Rey? That seems like a lot of work and parts to change it over.

It was purchased for 150 and the customer wanterd a Br. Hes still way under the 450 price tag of a new one.

I would pack the center diff with bad horsies diff "lock" and put enough in the front to give it some slip.

I have 60k in the front of my Baja and horsies in the center diff. in the loose stuff my truck is great.

if you want a tight turning radius like rjohns rock rey I wouldn't lock the front totally. "thumbsup"

 

[84yoda]

Ya I don't want it fully locked, just yet. But I'd like to get as close as I can to being locked. What's thicker, 20m or bad horsies?

 

[CM9000]

bad horsies... its like shoo goo almost but never dries. don't get it on your fingers and try to wash it off. your hands will just get slick. they even warn you lol.
