Shimming the rear diff mesh...
Ok so since it was built this is the first experiance I have had with removing anything for access and maintainence. To remove the rear end its 4 screws on the chassis, and 4 screws on the chassis brace, simple! this removed the back end http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6...18a6e772_z.jpg Next was remove the rear wing and diff case this was a further 6 screws, 4 for the diff case and two more also supporting the rear wing http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6...ed351450_z.jpg this exposed the rear diff that pulls right out! :thumbsup: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6...869747ab_z.jpg remove a further 2 screws that holds the driveshaft and bearings in and then just slide it out... http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6...5f3861c8_z.jpg finally get your input gear off, place two correct 0.2mm shims between the bearing and input gear, put it all back together new threadlock, fresh grease on the gears and screw it all up :thumbsup: remember to measure the shims as its not advisable to guess which shim is 0.1mm and which is 0.2mm, measuring gauge is reccomended! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7002/6...fd33ef89_z.jpg Job done! correctly meshed, and I had meshed it the wrong way so REMEMBER to keep the seperate shim sheet handy. Maintainance and access was better than expected and not as awkward as first though. |

Fair enough, thought I better ask but if you've already got a painter that's fair enough, don't want to steel anybody else's work.

why lips banned? beening lippy :D |
Seeing as I'm interested in this I mailed Lip on another forum to ask him how it was going.
For those interested he's finished the build now, electrics installed, and here are some pictures from him... http://www.flickr.com/photos/66027296@N05/6475872787/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/66027296@N05/6475873583/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/66027296@N05/6475874465/ Sorry I'm used to using photobucket, these are on flickr and I don't know how to make them show up as images ? I've tried putting IMG tags around it but that doesn't work so this is the best I can do. Wheels and body shell to go, so I'm told. |
Looks nice.im thinking about an ebuggy for next year, but I think it will be Mugen :wub
|
|
Thanks Col !
The Mugen is cool, the lipo is all one side though isn't it ? |
