Thats awesome that metal 3rd gear broke before the plastic gears. LOL. As far as I know, that has been somewhat of a common problem with the Exceed small 3rd gears. As you know, for $3.50, you could keep slapping new ones in there and hopefully find a good one or... just put a Berg small 3rd gear in there and be done with it. |

Well I replaced the rear gears and found some drill bits that where 0.003 bigger in diameter. I will post pictures later. You know I like to post pictures.....

First I made these shock relators. The shocks were still too laid down for me and the shock was hitting my battery mount badly!   So #2 shock mount relocator.  Last edited by SDheavymetal; 07-25-2016 at 05:03 PM. |

The third hole was the charm!!    Now the front shocks look right and the front axle moves much more freely. |

Looks good matt.. why not have just used longer shock/rodends? I'm trying to understand what the problem was? |

Matt I did make the shocks longer, but the front shocks were still too laid down.

The chassis stiffeners would move a little. So I made small notches in the nuts. It seems to be holding the stiffeners now. Here is picture of the notch in the nut. Then I turned it to line up with the plate.  |

I recently picked up the same chassis, heading to the garage to do some nut notching with the Dremel now. I really like your idea and it's fun to say nutnotching. |

The chassis stiffeners didn't move after 8 course at the 2016 RC Rock Crawling Championship. I need to drive more!

| Re: Y-Town Double Agent 2.0- Matt's
Well I had a bearing failure. I really messed up the gears. The 5X9X3 bearing failed. I'm thinking maybe stuff a 3X9X4 bearing in the axle. I can't find a sealed bearing 3x9X3. I found some but all a look like they are open. Because the gears wear and the metal will go in the bearing I don't want that to happen. Here is the damage.    |

Thatīs the smallest bearing and itīs the weakest point... i change it every winter.Perhaps it would be more safe to use a brass bearing
