You are a life saver. I couldn't figure out the mesh on mine quick google search brought me here and now I have the perfect mesh. I did end up using 3 gaskets in the rear axle and 4 in the front. Thank you so much for this.
This is a really good instructional. I struggled with the metal drivetrains for my C24 and C44 and they are still slop n jerk. Wish I watched this first, time for me to rebuild!
Some people have been having issues lately with the silver gears, I myself struggled, bit the bullet and got a set of brass gears from the store. Thanks bro, the standard grubs on the shafts like to get crudded up, the longer ones are a game changer 😁 Thanks for tuning in, massively appreciated 🍻
Excellent video & perfect timing for me. I have been building my first KM axles this week & haven't been happy with the mesh so far. These tips will help alot. Thankou. 👍
@@RC3DPrintAdventure I had issue with the silver ones. I don't usually admit defeat, I bite the bullet and got brass ones. Theres more meat on the brass ones, they mesh perfectly. What kit have you got? All models except the 34/44 km kits come with the standard axles too. Pinch the brass pinion from those, the brass pinion meshs nice with the silver ring 😁
@@THYC, thanks, it's just the 4x4 metal upgrade kit. Fitting it to a C24. Your tips have given me some ideas about possible ways of calculating shims etc. Otherwise I do have a couple of unstarted kits I may be able to rob the brass gears from as per your suggestion. Thanks again.
@@THYC Good news. Using these tips the silver metal gears worked fine. I just hope I can repeat this success with the front axle. As & when I post a video on the truck I'll add a link to this video. Cheers. 👍😀
Waiting for my metal kit to arrive hopefully at some point next week, those tips are much welcomed I wouldn't have thought to let the gear self allign and I'd probably loctite it by eye! Thanks so much!
Hello to you, I'm very happy I found your channel. ? For you. I installed it pinion gear as taught. I squeezed the drive shaft and the gear as tight as I could. Lock tighted in place for over an hour. It spins nicely but not butter smooth. Should I do it again? Thank you Ed in Osaka Japan
I find the front one pretty tricky, grinds all over the place. The rear one was straight forward and is smooth. I'll try your tips on the front and see if it helps. Very nice tutorial 👍
With the front, make sure the CVDs are nice and wide, you can do the same, leave them loose, then turn full lock either way to self level them 😁 Thanks for tuning in bro, massively appreciated 👊😊
Brroo nice one I'm gunna take mine apart and follow your video haha... the car though just died.. steering and lights on but no forward or reverse 🤷 not sure what's happened it's on battery number 3 haha
@@THYC I've tried all 3 batteries charged up .. the general power is cutting out intermittently now too soo I don't know what to do .. I've emailed wpl about it
So I just ordered everything. And realized no one makes 5mm hex to 7mm hex to fit I jora wheels. Know any brass adapters? Otherwise I'm gonna have to 3d print

Lovely teaching. I'm having a difficult and painful time with the KM front axel. Can you please post a video on this topic?
That was helpful, thank you!

Happy trailing 🍻

Can I ask what colour gears you got, brass or steel?
@@THYC I've been wondering the same thing. Steel seems to make more sense, brass is so soft... Am I wrong?
I’ve not had good luck with KM axles and you build tips are much welcomed 🤩👍
Sourcing longer grubs for the drive shafts is brilliant 🤙

Great video and great use of an old beer bottle top.
Cheers bro!
Beer caps are very handy 😁
Thanks for the tips mate, really helpful 👍
Clear and concise --cheers
Awesome video! Thanks for the tips

Awesome! Hope it helps bro!
What colour gears have you got silver or brass?
@@THYC I've got the silver gears. It's the metal upgrade kit from WPL. Main problem was the pinion floating about. Your tip will help greatly there.
@@RC3DPrintAdventure I had issue with the silver ones.
I don't usually admit defeat, I bite the bullet and got brass ones.
Theres more meat on the brass ones, they mesh perfectly.

Great video my rc friend 💪😀
Thanks bro! 👊😁
Good tutorial mate! You got your first Like from moi. :)
Cheers bro!
Have you changed your channels name?
Its looking good bro! Keep the content coming and you'll hit 100 subs in no time
Yes I do have the same ones and they are so nice make nice heavy truck
Very nice 👌 I would only say use high tensile screw's instead of the stainless steel ones
do you know where does the metal washers go?
Yes, you can use x1 between your driveshaft and pinion if there is a gap.

@@THYC thanks for the advice, gonna go try it now. Enjoy your Sunday buddy!
@@Grychon anytime bro!
Thanks, you too! 😁
So much better than the stock plastic crap.
Brroo nice one I'm gunna take mine apart and follow your video haha... the car though just died.. steering and lights on but no forward or reverse 🤷 not sure what's happened it's on battery number 3 haha
Could be a low voltage Cutoff, is the battery fully charged.
If not sounds like the brushes in the motor have gone.
@@THYC I've tried all 3 batteries charged up .. the general power is cutting out intermittently now too soo I don't know what to do .. I've emailed wpl about it
For the MN can you link me some gas kets sorry if I pronounced it wrong..
So I just ordered everything. And realized no one makes 5mm hex to 7mm hex to fit I jora wheels. Know any brass adapters? Otherwise I'm gonna have to 3d print
👍🏻
👊😊🍻
👍
I just received the KM kit. Axles are all metal apart from the housing is plastic. Mmm
There should be a metal axle kit included also, you get both standard and metal axles. 😁
@@THYC It came to light that I should have bought direct from WPL. 👍🏼 Had bits missing form AliExpress unfortunately.
Never seen fingers like those😉
