I never was able to get the thing to work. I’ll be listing it here in the classifieds once my 90 day probation is over. The truck will come with my solemn, ironclad personal guarantee to NOT run until a better man than I can sort out this tranny. I’ll also consider trades, anyway, I’ll be...
Actually, if you’d be gracious enough to take a look at my new Revo thread, I’d appreciate it. Potential OWB issue? I’m not sure. It never REALLY ends. As always, I value your help!
Update: With significant help wrenching from the guys at my LHC (I have arthritic hands), and borrowing brainpower from HERE, and there, I believe I’ve achieved TOTAL VICTORY. Well, except for chronic (so far) loosening of the pinion. And yes, we’ve applied blue — and now RED — loctite to the...
Graywolf, I know, sadly. BUT for now I’m going to run 4-5s only and will take it a lot easier I bet, than you would, lol. Like the little old lady from Pasadena, if
Thanks guys. And, yea Sir, I saw the Traxxas instructions. I posted a new thread on this too. Hope I’m not wasting folks’ time. I think I’m going to try locking it down tight, no slip if possible, and run it carefully on 4s again.
From your mouth to God’s ear, Graywolf. First attempt resulted in deficient performance. Then the Revo came to a stop unbidden. At first I thought I blew the transmission. But it’s fine. Thankfully. Turns out I had the slipper clutch too loose, at least I think so. Two of the three pads...
Thanks Graywolf, total victory with that locker from eBay. Fit perfectly. I have the tranny back together. And thanks Lukedavis, your drilling plan was totally my backup.
I have a bad habit of buying pretty spur gears from Integy. I get an automatic discount on their website. Lol, maybe everybody does. And yeah, I know how hated they are (were?) on the internet. Anyway I think I have the stock Revo spur gear … somewhere. I could install it if I can find it...
First, thanks again! Second, yes I already messaged the vendor about the Robinson racing gear in the tranny/modifying the locker. Third, as for the weak spot in the drivetrain, I’m guessing I can loosen the slipper clutch a bit? Maybe that’ll take care of it? Or would you invest in more...
YES! Every indication seems to point to a solution. So, right now, I feel like a primitive civilization on Star Trek and you’re like an all powerful god who has inadvertently revealed himself. So, thanks. Btw, I think the gear in which the clutch is now nestled IS a Robinson Racing gear. As...
I’m still on double secret probation — old reference — I can’t list stuff here. I’d look into a sell or trade situation if I can’t get it going. Better than lighting it on fire I suppose. I put some good stuff on it honestly I don’t remember what all. Scope out the pics and ask me any...
The truck’s built. It has a 1/8 scale Turnigy/Hobbywing ESC and motor and the Revo 3.3 tranny has no reverse, mechanical brake or Opti-whatever.
My problem involves a failure of centrifugal clutch engagement. Spinning the Spur Gear does not engage the centrifugal clutch so as to hook up and...
