Chirping XX4
Hey guys,
took my car down for a shakedown test at the weekend. Ran the car with a brushless in it, but I could not make it stop making chirping noises under hard acceleration and generally while running.
I checked out both the rear diff and slipper clutch as per the manual, setting them correctly, so that the slipper clutch went before the diff, and that the diff was tight enough. This didnt seem to cure the problem, so I thought it must be the rear belt. I then proceded to change the rear belt tension from A forwards to B forwards, as I thought the rear belt might be slipping...
Come the final, the car sounded awful. When I got home I found that the front layshaft had a lot of slop front and back to the point where the motor mesh was none existent.
Could this be the problem and if so, it seems like I need a new chassis or car because I single part will not sort this, because the main chassis molding holds the bearing for the front layshaft.
Any other ideas?
Mark
