Dog Bone Issue!!!

Post by cautiousone »

This is the RC10T I picked up and I'm just running it as a runner for some play time for now, but for some reason the Dog Bone popped out on one side and now it seems like it's to short and it doesn't fit. I've taken both sides apart to compare them and they look the same to me. They both have a small spacer on the transmission hub and springs in the wheel hubs, but one just doesn't fit? Any suggestions?

Try loosening the spring tension. It looks like the collars are pretty far down. The rear arms should be about parallel with the ground. You might need to limit how far the shocks travel also so they don't fall out on the jumps.

Well it wasn't missing, but once you pointed that out I did see where one hub stuck out a lot further then the other. I pulled the wheel and this is what I found. I just hammered it back in place and now it's all good until it happens again... :wink: This poor truck has been trashed and beat badly, but it still runs and drives. :lol: Thanks for the help guys...

Well that explains it then, that bushing is screwed anyways. I'll keep my eye out for some cheap parts and try to fix it the right way. Thanks again for the help.
