I just received my R1001 yesterday as entry into the hobby. I found that my front wheels will not turn smoothly as soon as I steer left/right. Maybe something binding because slightly out of spec? Not sure.. maybe even normal? Your videos give me great insight in the mechanics of all the parts. Currently asking myself if knock-off TRX4 axles from AliExpress would just fit into the r1001? Maybe I would try to replace the front one to see if it runs smoother when steering.. Thank you for the great content!
@@hazzahfpv6675 I would pull it apart first and I inspect it first. Any Trx4 axles should be a direct swap in. Even the actual Trx4 has sone wheel skid or slight wobble under power when your steering left to right under power all my Trx4 rigs have this issue if that's maybe what hour referencing?
@@medialinx767 your welcome I'm not sure if they are interchangeable with that model or not. If they look similar to the Trx4 axles I'd imagine they are probably the same though. I can do some research and find out though
When I changed the motor in mine, I added grease to the transmission. But I never opened the diffs, it's probably time for me to add some more grease lol I also added grease to the portals when I added The HB brass hangers
Great video, thanks!

thank you for good overall review of the axle, pls do the gearbox next
@@AlphaPhaseSleep I can do that and thank you for watching
Thanks for this video man! Are the parts mentioned compatible with the R1011 at all? I'm trying to find upgrades for my R1011 and having a hard time.
