Re: Is my modded gold tub too heavy with too much torque?

The servo's a cheap Chinese one. It does have some torque though. Its a Tower Pro MG995. It's not going to be as crisp as a $90 servo but it does the job. I did see that the wiring was not secured well so, I will have to crack it open and hit it with some hot glue. You were right about the flimsy ar...

Re: Is my modded gold tub too heavy with too much torque?

I have looked into the al diff gear. I even had a thread about getting dhawk to make some steel ones a while back, but nobody wanted one. Like you guys said, I probably had it too loose. Metal diff gears require more maintenance too. Everyone seems to like the nylon ones. Though, either motor plus t...

Re: Is my modded gold tub too heavy with too much torque?

So my steering setup is far better than stock. It is a custom setup using parts from a newer car plus some custom fabricated stuff. I have gotten rid of bump steer(mostly) and the radius has improved greatly. It is understeering though. I believe the issue has to do with the weight of the car (basic...

Re: Is my modded gold tub too heavy with too much torque?

I knew that was probably an issue as well. It was something I didn't really give much thought. I need to read up on it. Are you saying that the ratio with the pinion and spur is too large or too small? Also, I originally bought a Tekin 4.5t Redline gen1(http://www.teamtekin.com/redline_gen1.html) fo...

Is my modded gold tub too heavy with too much torque?

I started off wanting a mostly aluminum car that would be a good driver (possibly a contradiction). Weight became an immediate issue for every component of the car. I beefed up the steering because the original set up had a terrible radius and couldn't change the trajectory of the heavy car (this to...

Re: Dhawk Stealth diff gear

I went ahead and ordered a nylon diff gear. I am going to do my best to get it adjusted properly before I push the car too much. I might get an aluminum one along with a steel idler later on. Once I am confident with my abilities to properly adjust the transmission I can test out some other options....

Re: Dhawk Stealth diff gear

I suppose the clutch could have been too tight. I usually hold the wheels and see if I can get it to slip with my thumb. I am sure that I checked it according to the manual before I ran the car. I must of had it too tight. Does the aluminum diff gear in combination with the steel gt idle really caus...

Re: Dhawk Stealth diff gear

I think my gear was adjusted correctly. I tightened down the thrust bolt until the spring bottomed out. Then, I backed it off an 1/8 of a turn or so. I did this a couple of times to make sure it was right. I did this before I ran the car. I also replaced all the grease following the manual. The thin...

Dhawk Stealth diff gear

Ok so I finally got a break from school and thought I'd mess around with my rc10. Long story short, my diff gear was roasted. I looked around for a solution and stumbled upon the Dhawk aluminum diff gear. I have seen that a few people have tried them out but no one has said how it worked out for the...

Re: associated gold

It has been a while but here is the finished product. It is slow as one might assume. It not as good as the other full metal builds on this forum but I had some fun with it. It is kind of a Frankenstein's monster. http://imgur.com/a/FwJSV

Re: gt towers on a buggy?

Thanks for the info. I actually already have the gt carriers. I have already decided to trash the idea. It is too much work and like you said it is not the best for performance. I just got some fibre-lyte towers instead.

Re: Lubricating the stealth?

thanks

I had just read on some other forums that black grease or Tamiya's ceramic grease might help to preserve the gears. I think that manufacturer specifications are probably best.

Lubricating the stealth?

I am in the process of rebuilding my stealth and was curious about the lubricants used. I know the thrust bearings are supposed to have the black grease and the stealth diff lube on the diff. I know the top shaft, idler, and outer diff gear are not supposed to be lubricated but I have heard that the...

Re: Fresh Stealth Rebuild, here's how

Well I know it is a simple design but I am awaiting the arrival of mine in the mail. I just wanted to see what it was like on the inside. The team car manual has some good pics that show the inner workings.
