| Axial UMG10 6x6
Greetings and salutations to all, Let me start with I am new to the hobby and recently purchased an Axial UMG10 6x6. On the second outing with the rig it makes a clicking noise that comes from the middle axle when put into reverse. It happens when the torque is applied and the right side dips. I went ahead and took it apart and cleaned it up and relubed, still makes the sound. Sound is only made in reverse not going forward. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. |

Clicking is somewhat common on this rig:(....my clicking was coming the back axle oddly enough and only in reverse. I bought a 7mm and 5mm shim kit and some Hudy axle grease and it helped a lot. 1 5mm(.26mm) shim between the driveshaft and and axle and 1 7mm (.15mm) shim that pushes the gears further away. All axles needed to be shimmed and now it runs much better, but still slight clicking when running in reverse. I also picked up red axial springs for the rear and moved a rear spring set to the front. Limited the front and rear axle shocks with a axial bump stop inside the shock body and emptied the the shock oil and replaced with 4 drops of 7000 weight diff fluid....sick of rebuilding shocks all the time due to leaking and you don't need light oil in crawlers, just a few drops of diff fluid and you're good for awhile. The Hobbywing 1080 ESC and Holmes Hobbies 550 21t sport or 550 27t torque pro are very nice setups for this rig. Last edited by MAGNUMB; 07-24-2020 at 03:04 PM. |
