| Am I short of retainer rings or something?
So, I am building my Rubicon Kit and everything is going fine, I got my axles built and ready to go and I moved onto the drive shafts. Things are going just peachy but, apparently Axial forgot to put a couple Retainer rings in, as it seems I only have two. If I am not mistaken, I need two for each drive shaft, correct? I checked the other bags and such, but I could only find the two rings.

Yeah there should be 2 for each driveshaft assembly and they just snap on and hold the CV pin in.

Curse You, Axial!!! Yeah, I figured out how they go on, no problem. It's just...they only seem to have put 2 of them into the kit. Oh well.

Hehehe, heck I could make some out of tubing if I really wanted to, but I still have the rest of the kit to build. Maybe I will pick up the aluminium ones, or some MIP ones. It's still fun so far, though.

Hmm thats weird don't they come on a plastic tree? If the plastic tree is missing the parts, check the box or bag. The retainer rings are part #AX80084 (3)... The 3 is the part on the plastic tree.

You should have had 2 trees of #AX80084, and each tree should have 2 retainer rings

I will have to double check when I get home but they were on the same tree as the drive shafts, and I only had one sheet of those. It'd be nice if I just missed it anyway.

| Re: Am I short of retainer rings or something? Yeah there should be two sheets of drive shafts in the kit. I just built mine last week, plus the instructions say there are two sheets.

| Re: Am I short of retainer rings or something? Axial Racing - WB8 Driveshaft Retainer Ring (Aluminum) (2pcs) * note... lists as 2 per package I bought the RTR so haven't had those apart yet... but the instructions listed in the Owner's Manual clearly show only one tree, containing 2 each #3 part(s) (rings) for AX80084 ^ page 12 Yet the illustrations on page 19 show what looks to be a ring on both male and female side !? now I'm just more confused Last edited by TacoCrawler; 06-26-2013 at 07:02 PM. |

They must think you will need a lot of axles, as there were enough to make three drive shafts on one sheet.

Hrmmm, well after rummaging through all my sheets, I did find the other set of retainer rings. Kudos Axial!! However, I don't know why they give 5 driveshafts, do they really think you will break that many? Sheesh. Lol. I wish they gave some other spares. |
