Hey on ur guyses TLT's (with a pede tranny) what parts do u guys break and what is the one that you break most often... I am asking this because i am going up to Mammoth soon and i dont think i can get parts up there... There will be AWSOME CRAWLING THO! Espically where we camp lake jorge that is. Thanks!

rckjeep · 07-13-2005, 06:07 PM

Just bring what you have busted before. Why does everyone always ask this question? Everyone posts up what they break and it soooo matters how "you" drive "your" junk.

Yeah because you can't crawl without a body. :?

Do you bring extra chrome parts with you also?

rbgerrish · 07-13-2005, 08:08 PM

Take extra wheel pins, wheel nuts, and wheel hexes. Take a wheel nut tightener.

lol well without a body well on my crawler one could destroy the ESC or RX with a roll over. Or tear out the antenna.

As well its really the only thing I've destroyed on my crawler.

Either way in all seriousness I'd say bring maybe a extra set of axles some locktite for metal on metal screws (some are persistant in not staying put.) As well if a plastic rod end pulls out you might want super glue to bodge it till you can replace it. Mostly I would recomend driveline related ****e and maybe a set of servo gears.

nd4spdbh · 07-14-2005, 09:39 AM

ok thanks i was thinkin about buying a set of the axles all of the necessary tools and the dreaded idler gear of the pede tranny...i have always had probs with that gear in my rustler

Have u guys ever broken a stub axle?

Magic · 07-14-2005, 09:59 AM

axle shafts, yes, the stub, no. i broke 5 shafts in two weeks.

nd4spdbh · 07-14-2005, 10:29 AM

9.29
2 axles

5.79
I got the alum or some soft metal version of it had to drill it out since it was off by about .5mm and havent had issue with it at all. Stub Axles are you refering to the bit that sticks out the middle of the tlt axle?? or the bit on the pede tranny side?

nd4spdbh · 07-14-2005, 03:39 PM

lol ur funny not talkin bout that par thoes are the center half shafts... im talkin bout the axle shafts that come out of the diff... stub axles are the little axle where the tire bolts on...

these were the parts

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGKG2&P=Z

hey also have n e of u guys with a hole for the pin to hold the yoke on broken one of these

Madkoifish · 07-14-2005, 07:14 PM

I thought you were commenting on how you couldnt find stuff so, I read it as not being able to locate the sliders. I miss read the IRC grammar.

Use towers parts store it lists by vehicle the parts needed for repairs.

As for the axle pinion no, I havent broken mine. I havent read about any breaking due to the hole. I have however heard that it and the diff gear wear to the point it slips/grinds.

nd4spdbh · 07-14-2005, 07:45 PM

makes sence about the wear on the diffs

YEAH tower finally got their site back up and working

i think im just gonna buy 2 pairs of the axle shafts just in case

No Mallet was used, just locked diffs, mashers, and an evx with two batts, and a titan, great power, ok for crawling but pulling the lawn orniments is fun, and the chairs, i now run a lathe and duratrax 8 turn speed O. its better.

nd4spdbh · 07-15-2005, 12:33 AM

he he too much power for a little axle!!

biggusditchus · 07-15-2005, 12:47 PM

With mine I have broken a couple of the stub axles and also the axle casing where it bends up to accept the steering knuckle.. though I have the PRP strengheners on there now and not broken one since... (thats tempting fate though)

jwrape · 07-15-2005, 12:49 PM

Nothin breaks on my TLT's. That's why I have them. no problems at all with mine

nd4spdbh · 07-15-2005, 01:10 PM
