Hey AIPOHAKU, did you shim up the bevel gears in your axles? My little brother had the same problem with his ascoiated RC18 and it turned out that he had taken the diffs out for a greasing and didn't put the shims back. So whenever he would punch the throttle or when he got it bound up, it would make a clicking sound. I also had a problem on my nylint, the rims were cracked so when it bound up the hex's would just spin on the axle while making a clicking sound. |

Ive actually never opened them up until now..Got them in a trade and just mounted them up...Not exactly sure I know what you mean by shimming them up though..Could you explain?...As for the hexes, they are aluminum and fit so tight I have a hard time taking them out of the wheel..LMK..mahalo for your suggestion.

Shot more vid today..Got together with a couple guys and went crawling..Got a tow on the King Hauler originally built by Juggster now owned by Hawnmt. Also got "Ruby" out on the rocks for the first time and she did very well!!..BIG had rear diff issues again so I went to the LHS and bought a new rear diff...We didnt have an official camera man so what we got is what you get..Shoots http://www.hobbyzip.com/videos/661/messin-around.html |

what are you using for a steering servo? Got any pics of the bracket you used to mount it? I forgot about you using x-factor axles. I'm trying to work out what to do for steering.
