Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" ok so i'm starting to dismantle and clean it from the front axle working outside in... first up is a couple before shots of the knuckle weights etc http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg knuckle weights and steering link removed and separated... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg weights cleaned and polished up.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg steering link arm also cleaned polished somewhat.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" and this is the mess that I have on my hands now... this task is now feeling somewhat daunting and I've barely started :) at least I have shiny knuckle weights "thumbsup" http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" this would be what to look at with regards to the motor... http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...ml#post3723352 here's it all cleaned up without the rust sitting next to the Rowdy Racing electronics mount... and yep, polished somewhat haha "thumbsup" http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg and the front transmission all cleaned up and ready for re-assembly and re-lube.. it did have a clicking noise but i cant find anything that would cause it as all the gears are ok and bearings are fine as well http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" re-assembled and re-lubed front transmission, motor and electronics plate... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |

Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" a couple shots of the completed front axle with servo mounted.. the servo horn needs to be longer so I can mount the link behind the horn without it wanting to contact the servo/mounts http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" starting on the rear tonight.. here's some shots of the rear axle and the chassis w/ shocks and links.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg look at the rust on the motor.. a quick polish should remove all that and get it semi decent looking like the front one "thumbsup" http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg this one reminds me of a squid.. or maybe a predator.. either way, its cool :lol: http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" rear axle dismantled down to its core pieces, next step is to clean up the axle halves and then get onto the motor.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" so I found a broken pin on one of the axles, no dramas its just for the hex and I have plenty.. below is the rear transmission broken apart, cleaned as much as I can ready for a good re-lube and oil in the bearings you can also see in the background the difference a bit of polish makes to the motors :) http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" rear transmission re-lubed and assembled with motor.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg axles in the housing and transmission attached... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg both completed axles... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y..._highres-1.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" today i'm going to be playing with the shocks... items on the agenda will be.. - drill cap mod for only 1 bleed hole @ 1.5mm ** revised plan as tested one and the oil escapes around the bladder no matter how I seal it - Traxxas 7062 shock rebuild kit for the bladders as the shocks on this rig have none atm - replace shock oils and re-lube the O-rings using Hudy shock oils and MuchMore Racing Shock Slime i'll let the pics tell the rest of the story... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg I've got my helper holding the shocks to let them settle and any air to escape.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" I got distracted, let my coffee go cold and forgot to post the completed shock picture.. I ended up replacing the shock caps with new ones, the Traxxas bladders installed fine with no breather and 1 bleed hole from the original owners thread he was using 60wt all round (or about 800cst) and lots seem to be running 35wt (around 425cst) I've decided to go a lower than the original but more than a common weight and have build them with 500cst oils for now preload has been set at an average of what I found on the rig before I started to rebuild it... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" so i'm beginning to dismantle the body and clean that up somewhat... this is what i'm working on now.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg this is a top view so I can see where all the hollow balls and spacers go... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg links and base plate removed... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg another shot to help my memory when re-assembling the body... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg all the body/chassis pieces disassembled... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" so I've now re-assembled the main chassis after giving all pieces a quick sand on the outer edges.. those with a sharp eye might also notice I've also coloured the edges I sanded with a black marker to finish it off.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg the next steps will be to re-attach the shocks and then move onto the links... I plan on replacing some of the rod ends if not all of them with a fresh set, just gotta take apart a Slash for the 30mm ends I need :) |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" shocks re-attached to chassis... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg and a shot of the links so I can remember which ones had what ends on them.. these will soon be pulled apart, cleaned and the rod ends replaced.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" here's the latest on the links, all sanded back and polished as much as I could be bothered.. scuff marks almost all gone now http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg and the count of rod ends i'll need.. looks like some are cut down so i'll be measuring them all soon.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" its been a long journey so far but a fun one... here she is back to a roller, latest tasks included replacing all the rod ends and attaching the links to the chassis and axles.. still to come.. - electronics re-wire and re-mount - couple tweaks to the links and making some of the cone shaped pieces to fit the rod ends - cleanup of the tyres and CF rims it came with - paint and attach the body panels (roof and bonnet pieces) - setup the new 4PK Super-R that I bought to run it which hopefully isn't too much of a task on the new radio enjoy... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" here's a couple more pics with wheels attached.. http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
Re: XR10 Secret Agent 3.5 rebuild and progress - codename "Agent Black" i've worked a fair bit on this in the last week.. - replaced motor wires and re-smashed the dual sidewinder micro escs and castle bec - mounted all electronics - setup the Futaba 4PK Super-R radio for dual esc operation - mocked up several body panel designs, half completed one before deciding I didn't like it and finally settle on one last night there's some tweaks to do and some batteries to solder up after collecting the from 110 but here she is now... http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/y...o__highres.jpg |
