| Hot Racing Issues
So I decided to upgrade a few parts on my MRC and have run into some issues. First of all, I decided to try the HR rear lockout kit. The HR has a two piece lockout. My problem is that the inner piece of the lockout is machined for the bearing on the wheel side of the lockout, not the differential side thus there isn't anything to keep the axle from skidding out about 1/2 inches. Anyone have this issue? Pics: I would expect the inner bearing to be machined in here but it's not. My second problem is with their aluminum transmission gear set. I can see no possible way for the outputs to attach to the gear. I can't be the only one who has had these issues. Pics: Crawlapalooza is two weeks away so I need to get this resolved ASAP. Thanks! |

I know what your problem is with the transmission, the plastic gear uses a center diff lock. The metal one doesn't use the lockers. Just put the output shafts on the metal one like you would instal them on your lockers of The plastic one. Hope this clears some things up. ;)

ya on the HR tranny gear your output shafts just fit right into the center of the gear. You dont use the old locker assy anymore. |

Now I feel dumb but I would have never thought of pulling the plastic off the old outputs. I'll try it when I get home tonight. I do however need to figure out this lockout issue. I'll try to email HR as well. Thanks! |

thats not a lockout,that what the lockout attaches too. so the axle shaft should stick out like that |

By the way, I can put 4 bearings back to back between the inner part and out part of the lockout and there still is 1/4 of slop in the shaft.

| the one on the right,is the same as you have pictures....thats not the lockout. The one on the left is.The lip on the axle will rest against the beaing of the little piece,and will not slide past.once assmebled it will be fixed into place and good to go.

| Does your bearing press in from the wheel side of that inner piece or the axle side?

| Ok, thats the same as mine but when I assemble the whole lockout and collar, I can easily pull the axle out. The only way I can see this having a shot at working is by putting superglue on the bearing to keep it in place. No response from Liquid RC or HR yet and I doubt I will hear from them unless I file a dispute with PayPal. |

The axle has a lip,that lip will not allow the axle to slide out. That lip will hit the bearing that is inside the small collar. The remaining length of axle will be covered by the actual lockout. I have no problem with hr pruducts,I have ran their alum lockers,gears,collars,knuckles on many trucks....no problem. | |

| http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...J/b5aa1100.jpg in this image,the lip should be resting on the bearing,if you put the lockout on,and bolt em both onto the axle,your set.The axle pin hole will be just outside end of lockout. |
