Had a few hours fettling he Blast. Stripped the rear gearbox down as there was a little tight spot. When I took apart the diffs I was a little displeased that they are not washer sealed diffs. I dont think they will hold any diff oil so I just repacked with some special grease I have !!! I took the dremmel along all the grooves and edges to remove any flash, cleaned and re-assembled.
It felt better straight away. I did however put a small shim on the outdrive pinion shaft and the collar which attatches to the spur shaft just to space it out from the bearing and gearbox housing. Probably not needed but I like it perfect. I removed the shockers to do a refill and noticed that the whishbones would not drop. The roll bar was holding them up ??? Looks like a little work is required to get all the joints smooth. A Little vain I know and perhaps a few more packs and they would loosen up. I changed the front shock oil to 35wt and rear to 30. Put a O-ring in either end of the centershaft cups to keep the shaft from moving to much.
Then I installed the 6.5 Speed Passion I have spare. and took it for a beating...
Re adjusted the Slipper after I changed the Spur gear """ It is 0.6 module and not 48dp so dont make the same mistake as me!! LOL " " Then fitted an old kyosho 20 tooth. Luvely and smooth now. It now go's like charly sheen in a whisky factory ! or shit off a shovel ??? 10 mins of blasting around and its still in one peice. Jo J of SMD put his 6.5 X12 and 50C 5900 lipos and gave one 20 mins of hell and its still good to go. Dont think reliability will be an issue ??
Club run Saturady night and then hopefully Broxtowe indoor series on Sunday. Lets see what happens
