    • @ericsrcexpeditions
      @ericsrcexpeditions Год назад

      I have not worked on the shocks since I've built them so they're pretty good, actually! They did lose a bit of oil right after I built them, but aside from that, the majority of the oil still remain in the shocks. The spring tension and dampening also work pretty well together, so I haven't found a reason to replace them yet.

Try running it on 3s and if it gets pretty hot, switch to a smaller pinion or a larger spur gear until you find a ratio that works well. Happy driving!!

Cause of the jumps and turns. Usually at the track there’s a turn then a jump and that’s when you need acceleration.

    Hi Eric, stumbled upon your video while I was building my TRX4 Sport kit. Although this is my first crawler, I've built quite a few shaft driven touring cars where gear backlash adjustment is important. Being a crawler, at first I didn't care much about shimming the gearbox shaft play to tight tolerances. But once the gearbox assembly was complete, I noticed that there was some binding. So I redid it again in detail, checking rotation of each shaft before the next and have found more areas of drag. I did the shim adjustment following the method in your video which helped a lot! I also found that once the screws were tightened, the non-threaded end of the input shaft (the protruding part of the shaft with the hole) would drag on the gearbox walls and 3-gear cover as it's so close to then, and require shaving some material off the case and 3-gear cover. Then on to the 3-gear side, the peaks of the 27T gears would ever so slightly drag around the plastic posts where the screws fit into, again solved by shaving some plastic off. Lastly, after several attempts of figuring out why the 3-gear shafts would bind when its cover was tightened, I figured that the raised lips around the 3-gear case was the cause of the issue, probably due to plastic tolerances. There's likely a small gap between the the part of the cover where the screws fit over, and the small plastic posts / dowels on the main case, and once the screws were tightened, the gap is reduced but this causes the bearing seats on the cover to deform slightly and in turn binding the gear shafts. This was solved by wet sanding the 3-gear cover on a flat surface to reduce the thickness of the lip around it, effectively reducing the gap so that the cover is seated properly over the case and wont deform when tightening the screws. I'm not saying that all kits have this problem but it's worth a look if anyone is looking to free up the transmission a bit more.

  • @squeakygiant
    @squeakygiant 2 года назад

    Mounting the shock out wider effectively stiffens the suspension (less leverage over the shock) and reduces droop at the same time. Both can be useful for controlling chassis roll in turns. Less rear droop will also mean that there will be less weight shift forward under braking, which can reduce how turn-in under trail braking (braking into the start of the turn shifts weight onto the front tires, increasing bite - less rear droop means the rear end stays lower so less weight transfer) - which will also make it drive more stable. A second adjustment you can try is to move the inner camber links down one hole. This will move the roll centre of the chassis closer to the centre of gravity, meaning it reduce chassis roll. Less roll will also make it more planted, especially for back to back turns, but will come at the cost of reduced traction - chassis roll puts weight on the outside tires increasing traction. You can play with changing the roll center independently front/back, to take away or add traction.

    Thing is, after the vehicle is dirty, it can be a major headache to remove the module, which, is most likely, when most people will remove it (repairs, cleaning, motor swap etc.) their first time. I recommend checking gear mesh and adding your own locktight to the pinion grub(set) screw and motor mount screws, before the first run, in which case, this video should be helpful enough but, TBH, this isn't a great tutorial. Look elsewhere, as I've seen much better explanations/tips, from other RUclipsrs. Sorry, Eric's RC Expeditions, but you don't want to mislead viewers, or give them light weight tutorials.
