well i got my first rc 3 months ago."im 50 yrs old"never had a rc before, got a new zd racing thunder..did some back flips and high speed ramps and was hooked..broke it fast. ordered me and my nephew a rs10 redcat 4 wheel steer, love it and even got a beetle chassis from customcrawlerz.con a member on here,very nice guy.. it took my rs10 to a hole diff level,made homemade rear links and was amazed. still running strong and best rc crawler ever till i got the bully2. then i got a use vaterra twin hammers 2 speed..then a new axial wraith,, over /under gears, skids,3 sets link arms"what a high dollar lesson lol" tires, CI double duecs foams med and soft fronts,then a 2 speed trans,then few sets of gears and pinions.. mag wheels,vp wheels etc etc.. that was prob a 1200 buck month trying to take the wraith to the level i was wanting..after all said and done i got big bore shocks , made a few things and put ride height back to stock,so it could clear rocks on my hardcore track ive built"hardcore for rc climbs anyhow" but made the track possible and dooable. the pitbull rock beast 2 tires changed the wraith a lot on the rocks,much better
so then almost 4 weeks ago i ordered a rtr bully2 and it was def a game changer "like the add said" ran 3 turnigy graphene 850mah 3s batterys thru it and was addicted more than ever..just as i started to learn to make it do amazing things:mrgreen: i broke the front axle,small gear close to the locker,but the gear that goes thru case and has a bigger gear on other end with cross pin holding it in place..
this was a week ago.thankfully kenny, at rc4wd support responded the next day..they were out of stock with gears,but he said he would send me his personal set to get me running soon..they should ship in the am..he also sending new bearings as we both think thats what cause the play,to completly break the entire tooth off the gear..i think the gears are brittle myself and thinking if i have anymore issues i will look into the type of metal and see if i can harden them..i make a few custom knives and can harden them myself in the forge,maybe.
so while i have new gears n bearings in the mail..i ordered new gears the day they broke from ebay.
new fast eddy bearing for both axles that i just got yesterday.
cleaned up all the extra foot of wiring and rearanged the esc and dig to bottom chassis. esc mounted on front skid,switch mounted on rear of skid..read i need to ditch the switch and just use battery,not sure if thats good or bad,or why?
on a side note i ordered dluxfab.com brass weighted knuckles with slugs,aluminum tops,they have huge king pin bearings and ease the steering.. dlux fba axle set"man there huge" and dravtec orange shocks with soft springs..and sent eric at dlux my locker to mill it wider for the new beefy axles.. was a pleasure dealing with eric at dluxfab.com on his facebook page as i asked many questions..and they helped a lot making sure my order was correct for what i ordered.. thx eric"thumbsup"
id post pics but not sure i can access photobucket after many many yrs..i should try as i have thouands of pics and memories from jeeping all my life.. id better give it a shot..
cant wait to swap esc out to a holmes hobbies brmd smashed esc and cc bec and a futaba 4pls.. but just broke my jku jeep axle"on 37,s" pulling a submerged jeep from the silver springs river yesterday.. thats gonna cost me,again
hope to finish my dana super60 soon..my jeep weights 5700lbs without people in it:mrgreen: it has full skids and armored
i will see how to post vids and pics today.wish me luck! cant even figure how to post a avatar? maybe i need more posts,happy mothers day! really miss my mom
