I'm just getting my feet wet in vintage R/C restoration. I managed to find an old Trinity ev10ss LSD on ebay that needs plenty of TLC and I'm looking for a little advice on a problem I encountered tonight. I started taking the rear end apart and discovered the left-rear bearing has seized onto the ...

It's probably a bit of loctite or stuck where the grub screw bites onto the axle. I would do the tap the bearing off method, but take notice of how much force is being applied and if you feel like it's too much resort to plan B. It wouldn't hurt to wrap the end of the axle in tape to protect it.

Nice, I look every day on Ebay for Trinity cars and other pan cars so I must've missed this one. I have one myself that I'm trying to restore even though it was already like new almost. I think I discovered lately though that it has the wrong axle in it but I don't see me finding a LSD axle either. ...

The lack of RR weighting in the corner was it's demise for me, the car got into the corner like a rocker but never h...

You can lightly sand the axle in that spot to clean it up, unless it's just in really bad shape. You have a new one on the way anyways
