@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks Thankfully I almost exclusively crawl, rarely going past 1/4 throttle with my crawlers. It could however, explain a 'shudder' I get with my Rustler VXL.
It's bad enough they don't specify the rounded pin seat in 6 gears in the manual but what's even worse is that some of the factory assembled demo models have the clicking gears installed wrong! This problem also happened to me on the transmission in the UMG10 kit I built, I had no idea then either!
There's a couple of nice ideas in the comments... But this is something that Axial should have FIXED on a Rig that's close to $450 before it's ready to roll... 😖😠😡😲 I'm sure Vanquish will have better machined Gears... Josh has "hinted" at it! Stay SAFE Bro! 😷 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
The gears are machined good they just don't specify in manual that there's 6 gears in total (2 in tranny, 1 in each portal housing) that need to sit on pin seat that is only rounded on one side of gear, when it appears as if both sides are same. Whats even worse that they don't say this in manual, they shipped some demo models with gears installed incorrectly! Plus SCX10II UMG10 kit tranny had similar issue, AXIAL get ur shite together! Haha
There's 7 gears that sit on pins through shafts on the SCX10III, 1 is on the dig gear & can only go on one way, so there's 6 gears in total that can be installed incorrectly if ur not aware of the rounded pin seat that is only on one side of those 6 gears because it appears at 1st glance both sides are the same. There's 2 gears in the transmission & 1 gear in each portal housing, that's 6 gears in total that can be installed the wrong way. Plus there is 2 5x10x4mm bearings that can fit in any of the 5x11x4mm spots, so be careful not to use the 5x10x4mm bearings until step C-3 in manual cuz they'll fit in steps C-1 or C-2 that require 5x11x4mm bearings. I put a 5x10x4mm bearing in wrong at step C-1 in manual & when I noticed the slop I had to remove one of the E-clips & it went FLYING luckily it hit the wall & landed right in front of me! Lol damn those E-clips!
Thanks Man, I got 1 of the 1st releases and l have been watching all the videos.(before l start building)There sure seems to be a lot of issues. I got my manual all marked up and highlighted. Thanks again !!!
Definitely a little better. I'm sure someone will have aftermarket gears for it soon. Good stuff. I like the investigation of issues. Good stuff.👍👍😎😎✌✌
Crazy grease is amazing. It's like green slime but a tad thicker. It webs to the gears and it's just wicked stuff. Quiets everything right down, prevents any wear. Wicked stuff. Better than Red N Tacky
The gears need to have the rounded side facing the right way it is different on ether side. One rounded and one squared off I was watching Harley designs and he and a rep from Axial were discussing this problem. Nothing is wrong with the truck just not the clearest instructions. Hope that helps!
I took mine apart to recheck but this time I left power to it and checked each section as I took it apart. Dig out, still clicked. 2 speed out, still clicked. Click was coming from pinion/spur gear. Tried sliding pinion gear out some then in closer, then just like that it was gone! Put everything back together and tested it, now no click even under hard load. Seems the pinion gear needs to be exactly aligned.
Well, it certainly sounds better. There is still noise there, but much more "muffled" for lack of a better word. Will be interesting to see what happens with the new gears when they come in! Fixed or not, I think it is certainly much more livable at this point.
@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks lol, I already got mine, it went right to a small loan I want to pay off, it was that or be crazy and get that LOSI DBXLE 2.0 I want so bad.
@@ExocagedRC Sadly, for whatever reason, those who make over $75,000 per year got theirs FIRST. Then the second tier.... Poor, Disabled Veteran's like me, and the really old and those of us living on about $1200 per MONTH... Are getting paid dead last!! Just asking, does that really seem fair? (Rhetorical question)
Another thought that might help. I have watched several videos of the SCX10 III and not all of them click. There is always comments to this fact in those videos and the answer is consistent. I did nothing special, it just does not click. That got me to thinking of all my past builds and the issues I have had. Have you considered purchasing a whole new transmission case. Just all the plastic parts? Many times my issues have come down to improperly molded parts and your click sound very much like metal hitting plastic. Even a warped shaft could be the issue. The plastic fits for the fact that some click and some don't. Just an idea to consider.
The main issue with these epoxy products is heat. Example of this is if you use it for magnetic body mounts and there’s any residue on the magnet it’ll reconstitute into liquid with friction heat. I hope it doesn’t happen in your drivetrain. I know that for Tamiya differentials folks put liquid nails in where the bevel gears are to make a slipper clutch of sorts so you may be ok
But if the gears are backwards like in the tranny. The clicking is real fast on this one it feels like it's something that spins faster. Idk, but worth checking.
I don't have any such clicking in mine, but I do think that Axial may have been in a bit of a hurry with this kit. That gear slop is a bit lame, as are the instruction mistakes. My peeve right now is the ridiculous mounting system, Half a brain could have come up with a better one, self centering and much easier to do. The only other thing so far is, that at the price of the complete body, I am afraid to damage it. May have to spring for a second bod and some magnate mounts. Thanks Exo.
Cheers bro I already fixed mine added some grease inside the rounded pin area and now finally no more clicking lol also check my portals 2 of them was wrong (square side)
I thought about that, just to take up that slack, issue would be making sure its straight, I don't think my glue has them as straight as they should be.
My thoughts too: use thin brass sheet, maybe .010 to .025", formed in a cylinder to fit inside the gear. Wouldn't have to be soldered together & probably not glued or secured in the gear in any way. I'll have to mic the gears & shaft to see if this is viable.
@@boldrbangr9834 if you have the equipment to do so maybe I suggest using a brass rod and and enlarging the inside of the gear slightly so you can make a thicker bush. If I still owned a lathe it might be possible.
Off topic from your video i know, however I couldn't find an email for you. I would really appreciate a recommendation considering all your experience. Trx4 sport stock motor HW 1080 esc stock gearing. Wheel, tire servo upgrades plus some other small things only added weight is brass front portal covers. Looking for a little more power & wheel speed. I run 3s. Should i go for a sensored brushless combo? Or should I just upgrade to a better brushed motor? What setup would you get. I know i could just go up a few teeth on the pinion for a little more wheel speed however I want to upgrade the motor from stock But don't want to spend money just to get similar performance. Thanks for the help. Love the channel and the content. And yes when I buy my new setup I will definitely use your links. 😉
These are not just cheap lil toys, we have come to expect a certain amount of quality and fit and finish (from all of them), tell Axial how you feel and what you have issue with, if they want to stay on top they will listen. Also tell them what you would like to see in the future, if we don't communicate these things, well, they will give us has been style monster trucks (I'm 60 now, 18 when they were cool) and under sized trucks (I can't see my truck, can you see my truck), and barely upgraded remakes of stuff we already have (bombed, not so upgraded Bomber remake) I sure didn't ask for those thins.
(Kisun's rc life) figured out what was causing the clicking noise in the SCX10.3 trans. I can see how anyone could make this mistake assembling the trans.
Got a question for ya, do you remember what video you put the truss on the TRX axle to brace it when turning. I’m finding my TRX4 is having a hard time turning drivers side but no issue turning passenger, and it looks like it’s my axle moving under load instead of my wheels turning. Thanks in advance man!
I just got a flysky radio and it's capable of running 7.4 volts. I run a 1080 esc. I have it set at 6 right now but when I install the flysky will it be ok to run the 1080 at 7.4? I have a waterproof hd 25kg on the way but I think it runs 4-6.6 volts. If I run the Bec at 7.4 will it burn the servo up?
so weird, my transmission has no click whatso ever. i have 10.3 early bronco maybe they changed something? i also pack the hell out of it with grease so it probably helps with slop. now if someone could come out with video to fix the dig reliability that would be awesome, i had to lock out my 2 gear and dig because they never work.
The gears aren't sloppy there's 2 in transmission & 1 in each portal housing (6 gears in total) that need to be installed only on one side of the gear so the pin that goes through shaft seats properly in rounded side but it looks like they can go on either side & manual doesn't specify this! Plus Axial shipped some of the factory assembled demo SCX10III's with the gears installed wrong.
@@ExocagedRC OK, everyone that change the orientation of gears fix the clicking noise, Product manager of axial said that this is source of clicking sound, i did the "fix" and i have a completely silent transmission. maybe you have to completely disassembly your transmission and you may found other fails during building your kit, like the pin that you post
Those gears have bad tolerances. They shouldn't move around like at all. Oh...Joe...I had to download an app to get notices from RUclips about people posting on my channel.
Baffled, never had any clicking, stop 🛑 listening to Facebook, follow the pictures in the manual, all pins need the rounded sides engaged( including portals)Use provided grease.
This is pathetic... on axials part. The fact that you have to order separate parts to get proper gearing in the transmission, twar transmission down over and over again, the poor tolerances, and lack of performance improvement over the 10ii. Axial needs to step up and address this not consumer trying to figure out how to fix it.
I'm sure axial will do something about this.. but it would take a little time for them to make sure what the fix is, is it human error, is it 100% corrected etc. Obviously they didn't have issues on their test vehicles. I get that it's disappointing but shit does happen. Not sure I get what you mean by lack of performance compared to scx10ii though? The Scx10ii is a bare bones straight axle.. this new release is so different. In every way. Let's see what the straight axle scx10iii looks like once released. Cheers 👍
Mick D if you have a great platform (like the 10ii) why would you try and change everything up with a overly complicated setup? Did it need the adjustable frame? No, as you still need different links to change wheel base. Did they improve shocks? No, our demo model had leaky shocks after 2 hours of use, did it need a two speed that has a negligible difference? No. Axial focused on the premium TRX4 fan base as it’s main target. We tested with a bone stock 2017 crc jeep scx10ii, and the 10iii, the 10iii simply could not perform as well through obstacles as the body was too heavy, the motor while being moved forward sits too high in the chassis. Tires were not impressive either which is fine as most kit/RTR tires are not but this tires were marketed as being a much better Improvement. Even our early access demo has a very bad click noise that happens heavy under load and light when not under load. Let’s hope there is a simplified version coming soon...
@@northsandiegorc4248 they haven't got rid of the 10.2 yet and not sure this release is it's replacement, I'm sure axial have released this truck with the idea that this truck is what Joe public wants.. ie portals, 2 speed, awesome scale body, fenders and interior, plus a bonus motor cover and dig and personally I think it's a winner. It hasn't got unlocking diffs so would only tip over in corners if it went any faster. I think the 2 speed will compliment a basic brushed motor for some wheel speed when needed. Why does it have to be compared to anything,?... can't it just be a truck that's a little different to what's on the market already? Maybe the chassis will make sense with further new releases.? We will see when straight Ar45's are released and what trucks and kits develop from there. Quite possibly a truck that hands the scx10ii and trx4 their arse's on a plate?
