Some very nice Yoke's as always.. I'm just so jealous.. Now sling some paint on that '92!!

Shawn

Thanks Roger.. It was thanks to you for the gear and cover I was able to finish it..

Shawn

I would love to see the info.. I have 2 more of the press fit gears and would like to see a few things.. I'm subscribing to this thread.. gomachv GO!!

Shawn

It's been a long time, but the inner and outer tubes are a press fit. They need to be pressed apart, sockets would likely be easiest. Iirc both pieces will look like flanged bushings with one fitting inside the other. Really? I tried that on one of my spurs and it wasn't happening for me.. They are...

Ok here are the pictures of the two Yokomo parts I have.. These are the two systems I have seen for RRP spur gears:

Non Replaceable: Replaceable: Hope this helps you..
Shawn

IF this is the same as on the other RRP's, They made two different systems.. One was a non replaceable gear and one that is replaceable.. The non replaceable ones had the gear molded to the smaller gear.. The other one had small screws to swap the spur gear.. It looks like the bottom one in your pic...

It will probably be my Frog while I wait for parts for my Yokomo's.. I don't have a body for the Fox just yet.. I need to get one some time soon...

Shawn

@broodenburg: Thanks!! Yup.. The old tried and true Tamiya Yellow CVA shock.. The lengths are different from the Fox but same design.. They aren't really all the bad of a shock.. They are pretty robust and easy to maintain.. Not great for high performance racing IMHO, but for bashing or novice racer...

OK well I got this all sorted out.. I wasn't the steering... it was the sway bar.. The ends were pushed too far in and limiting the travel and it wasn't rotating as I had it a bit too tight.. :oops: Also there were limiters inside the front shocks so I removed them and bingo...... full travel.. 8) I...

Dan thanks for the advice.. I'm going to go your route... Didn't even think I tightened the nuts too much.. but in my old age I may be getting all thumbs.. :lol: I haven't painted up the shell yet.. work got in the way.. boooo.. going to shoot some paint on Sunday.. excited to get this one ready for...

Wow.. that is a nice xx there.. I just went through the whole thread when this popped up.. I'm thinking of picking one of these up myself in the near future... If you are going to run this you can pick up some repro bulkheads made by oldrc.com.. love the paint job and I am not a blob kinda guy.. Thi...

Ohhh.. I like that.. in the pictures it looks like gold tint that you see on alot of helmets.. very slick.. may have to steal that Idea..

Shawn

Thanks guys.. I like the over engineered aspect of the astute.. comparing it to my jrx2 and rc10 it really shows the differences of buggies of the era (88-93.. kinda..).. either way it is a great looking buggy.. the body is so much more detailed than the jrx2 and rc10 and looks fast.. one of the thi...

Thanks for the compliment.. I am pretty happy about this.. 8) :lol: :lol: I got this on April 1 of this year.. Took me this long to rebuild it.. I also needed to find some small parts (counter gear, gear cover, tires, new suspension bushings and a body..).. Got some on here.. I had everything to do ...
