And it ran great, and now its toasters again.. lol. I think the pinion was bending the clutch shaft now that I CA'd the clutch for no slip. That awful noise periodically was the pinion slipping on the clutch gear and skipping a tooth, and at the end there one or the other is DONE FOR.
Its kinda over from here I think; just need to stop dropping funds like Ferp says this is what happens 1/10 parts in 1/6th rig, hell almost 1/5th.
All the parts and bits needed for SCX6 stock trans case, motor mount, vitiavon internals, Vitavon driveshafts 8mm, and an 8mm shaft extension and 8mm pillow ball bearing mounts to extend a driveshaft out the back w/out also having drop another $80 on a 290mm Vitavon long driveshaft (the front/rear comes as a set and is 210mm long- not long enough out back).
$442. G dang.
Taking donations tough times
Very please to see the motor can push it in high gear! 6s would have been real nice if it had the guts to handle. No sign of wear or stress in the Vitavon Ryft axle guts as yet.
I'll take one last look maybe the front/center transmission to TRX transmission as a transfer case could solve the issue if it was just the shaft bending and allowing the pinion to slip on the clutch gear and skip --- as a driveshaft attached to it would not have the same essental "push apart" effect ---- and inside the center front transmission is that planetary type so maybe it also doens't suffer the same kinda of fate?
one last chance and hope for the TRX4 trans lol!!! then i'll snap the dirn 5mm (really just 4mm at thinnest) clutch input shaft -- its just not worth all the effort to then have it fail and have to go back to the SCX6 trans avenue.
I must vacate TRX4 transmission now, put the truck on the shelf, and await SCX6 upgrades.................
Yep, otherwise its a disgrace and will NEVER haul a thing, let alone its own self. The CLOD BEASTIE is embarrassing it right now and plowed thru 2 full packs today and climbs all the snow hills this rig can't lol.
