Put the gear in the freezer for about 2 hours, and before you install the bearings, warm the bearing up in your hands for a few minutes. They should slide right on.
Recently Picked up the trx4m Bronco. Ran it a couple times. Bought alot of upgrades lol!! Your videos are on point and exactly what I'm looking for!! And the Bronco Thanks you to as it is tore down to the chassis atm lol
These things are very addictive and have a way of emptying a person's pocket!! 😅 I'm glad that the videos have been helpful bro, and I really appreciate the feedback. Good luck with your build, I'm sure it's going to turn out great. ✌️😉
Had the same problem. And i didn't have patience like you. Ended up breaking one bearing. And they were injora bearings as well. Great video, keep them coming. 👍
Hi 👋 Thank you very much for the feedback, it's good to know you had the same problem. I will be speaking to Jeff from Injora pointing out the issue that we had. To see if they can rectify it.

Hi buddy 👋 Injora Upgrades are definitely not bad quality, just disappointed with the pinion, but you know what it adds to the fun of the Build😜 Thanks so much for the view and comment 👍
@@robertresmer2835 it was such a minor in perfection that it doesn't bother me and it adds to the fun of the Build✌️🤪 And yes the servo is amazing 💯 Thank you for the view and comment 👍👍👍
I've used that technique many times when working on cars Didn't really want to go that way as I wanted to be able to remove the bearings whenever I wanted to. Thank you for the view and comment 👍
Would you recommend the 4mm drop in aluminum injora straight axles vs building it like you did? Or would the drop ins be too wide (out of scale looking?) Thanks in advance! Rob
@@Robliteration personally it is a lot cheaper to buy a set of extended axles, then building your own. But just like you mentioned the reason I didn't do that is because it looks unrealistic, and in my opinion wasn't the look I was going for. Personally on the defender and bronco, I feel the original size axles look a lot better. So it's really a question of taste! And of course how much you are willing to spend. But if you're trying to make them as capable as possible, then I 100% recommend a set of extended axles. I hope that helps bro.
Hmmm. So I recieved every upgrade your doing here, for my own self > and I have not had to sand smooth a single bearing location on a shaft yet. Perhaps they have listened to you? I can only think they have. In your one closeup you have splines on your heli gears > I do not and they fit perfet. Its bittersweet that I had to watch you grind, but not had to do so myself.😔 I have faith in Injora; anyone that includes extra grub screws and wheel bolts and axle pins and many extra SS hex bolts must really care about this hobby.
Hey! I've just picked up the Alu axle housings with the laydown servo mount. I'm hoping that the front axle will be compatible with the "non universal" Injora LCG carbon chassis with the 5 deg angle. Any reason to think it won't work? I run the Injora 11kg servo...
Hey bro, I have seen quite a few people say it works with that chassis. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't say to you that it does or it doesn't. I've got a set of those axles and I will fit them to the Bronco or the defender to see if it works with the non-universal lcg carbon fiber chassis. But I'm still waiting on the axle shafts that I took out to use on the diamond axles. Hopefully they will be here soon. I'm sorry I can't tell you yes or no but I have heard people say like I mentioned that it works. The only difference between the new Universal chassis and the old lcg chassis, is that they've made the rails sit a couple of millimeters further apart and then use adapters for the bumpers to fit. Which gives you more space for the lay down Servo setup. And from what I have observed on my latest build with the lay down service setup and the universal chassis is that there's just enough space for the setup. So in my opinion I do believe it's going to be a tight fit on the old LCG chassis. Hope that helps bro
@@rcfungames alas, I decided to use the “old” LCG chassis to build up my IR40. But having built up my defender with a very similar carbon chassis, I expect they’ll work fine with the older Injora LCG.
Bro the only reason I don't recommend that is because when running in dust and sand it will just collect on the CV joint causing more damage than good. If you run a lot on rocks and water then yes you could put a bit of grease in there. But where I live everything is dry and Dusty and would just get in and the sand would just grind away the metal.
Hello 👋 No, I had already installed the bearings before doing all this work. Just grab a bearing kit and every time you open or work on something take out the bushings and replace it with the bearings.
It doesn't help as the axles already very low, but I drive on really Rocky and rough terrain, so just to protect the aluminum Axel's I thought it was worth it. But it's basically got the same clearance it had with the original tires. And in my opinion that haven't been too bad they were designed quite well, and I just gave them a slight bend upwards to prevent them catching as much.
@@rcfungames thanks! I see injora offers a version that covers the axle housing some as well. Do you find the area on your axles on either side of the pumpkin hitting things frequently?
@@chrish9502 you know what I saw those and I was going to get them, but from the reviews people don't seem to like them very much and no I haven't had not a scratch yet on that part of the axle. So personally I don't think it's worth it
No it's not, I set it up like that so that way I reduce the angles on my drive-line. It runs so smooth and doesn't catch on the drivelines like it did originally. Thank you for the view and comment
And you do realize this is not a real car, it goes roughly 2 kilometers an hour So you're not really going to get any vibrations from the drive-lines not being phased 🤣 If it was at fast RC car I could understand it being a problem Anyway just too point it out you do realize that's all the wheels are off balance, amongst many more running parts so it could never be a vibration free. Lol 🤣🤣🤣 But on this tiny crawler at the speed it runs you are never going to notice it 🤣🤣🤣
I had the same problem. Got a replacement set of driveshafts on the way. It was making my front wheels lurch every rotation at medium throttle especially
When I did the footage I didn't take it into consideration as a person's already concentrating at trying to capture the work. But afterwards when messing around with it I put them in phase and haven't had a problem since. Mine is running nice and smoothly only have a little bit of lurching when I'm at full turn.
@@rcfungames I hope my new ones are good. The problem with mine was that they were machined in such a way that made it impossible to fit the 2 halves together in-phase. No matter how I turn them and put them together they would still be out so I contacted injora. Got my fingers crossed the new set is good.
@@grandmasteraj855 don't forget the angle coming out of the transfer case and the angle that meets the axle need to be at the same angle If they are not they will always be out of phase. I hope the new set that's coming he's made right 🤞🤞🤞

It's now so smooth and crawls so slow it was worth it.

Strong servo. The quality was pretty amazing. Except for that bearing and gear issue 😸👍🏾👍🏾

Yes it just makes it more fun. But I do need to replace the plastic axle housing. And I put an antenna on the Bronco. Not sure if I like it.
Just put the pinions in the freezer for an hour and the bearings in a warm place. I bet you the bearings would slide right on then.

Did you find a need to shim the pinion on the helical differential gears? I have quite a bit of slop at the rear driveshaft/diff interface
No, both of mine were actually perfectly snug! I didn't have to shim them.
@@rcfungames perhaps that washer you put in at the transmission end helped push the driveshaft rearward?
I got some new rims and tires from injora . And it’s taken for ever to get here. They need a supply warehouse in the US..
That's really cool, it also takes at least three weeks to get them here in Portugal.
I got mine in 9 days in the middle of the USA

Do you lubricate the CVs in knuckle housing?
