Hi Guys I'm done with the build of my b44.1... this is my first 4wd offroad car since I ran my original xx4... last millenium
A couple of things that have me puzzled, was wondering if you could help.
1- wobbly front wheels. The rims look fine, it's in the hex I'd say. Any known way to assemble them or mount them on the axle that'd minimize this? It's visually pretty scary to say the least. Any special tips on the hexes to prevent losing them everytime you change the fronts? Thanks
No wobble normally. Are you sure you've put the hex on before putting the pins in?
2- the steering post holes in the top deck are ridiculously much larger than the the plastic parts that are supposed to go in it. This creates absurd amounts of slop in the steering system. Did I get a lemon, or is this common? Is it worth trying to fix?
Again not normal. There's a plastic cap that screws onto steering before top deck going on. Have you got this piece fitted?
3- the car still sounds like a pepper mill despite breaking the primary drivetrain in for like 6hrs with an old brushed mill under 3V and shimming this properly (I think, at least definitely not on the tight ie noisy side)... this is appalling, really.... any fix?
Doesn't sound right as transmission usually quiet. Pics would help here.
4- Center cvd cups - all wobbly on the slipper axle... is this "normal", again? worth trying going aftermarket?
Have you got the little grub screws installed into the cups that hold the pins in at both ends? It all tightens up properly once these are fitted.
5- last but not least... anyone has a 9783 blue alum part for sale (front deck-to-tower block) please? OOS everywhere
Thanks all for the help
