Also who thinks I should take the axles off clean them, and paint them blue?

[xj1711]

if you did the paint will rub off fast, even faster in the rocks.

How do you like the Traxxas XL-5? I have one on an old Tamiya Bush Devil and hate the stupid thing!! There is no instant reverse and no drag brake. I guess it is fine for full throttle forward...lol

Oh I just hit 600 posts....SWEET!

Looks good!!

Did you build the sliders? Could you get em sucked in any closer to the body?

[Bash/crawl]

Thanks guys
1: the XL-5 works good I like it b/c it's easy to work with.
2:I think it would be cool red. Maybe I can dye them?
3:and I made the sliders and I can get them closer but I like how they stick out some for protection

What's up y'all?
Well here it is right now
I wanted to grease the axles b/c I haven't before Andy have used it a lot this is how the diff looked

Then greased



Then I wanted to do my transmission

Then I greased it up


Here it is as it sits. I just need a motor.

Thinking should probably swap out the rusty bearings?

[Bash/crawl]

I went through the axles and they were not to bad. So I greased them all.

That one in the tranny looks pretty bad to me. If they look rusty, feel notchy or have slop I change em out. Also after running in water or at regular intervals clean with brake clean, then with WD-40, then lube by soaking in synthetic motor oil for a bit. Lately been lubing by soaking in Fluid Film and they have been standing up great. No way to grease them without pulling the rubber seals of and if not super careful: damaging the seals in the process
