SOoo for now I put a 25kg back in and I just ordered a 46kg just like sickpuppy got for his new rig. Hope it's a good one. It says "steel gears", so we'll see. I ordered it from Banggood so it'll take at least a couple weeks to get here. Count on a post-up when I get it in. "thumbsup" 8) jim |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco That’s a bummer about the servo, but good info to know what’s inside. |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Thanks for the condolences. :cry: :lol: The 46-kg JX servo, like sickpuppy's, shows to have "... precision Taiwanese made hard anodized steel gears..." so it should be tougher AND stronger. "thumbsup" Hope so .... we'll see I guess. It was $50, so still a bargain for 46-kg. :) I'll let you all know how it TURNS out. :lmao: 8) jim |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Haha. I’m a little embarrassed by how hard I laughed at that. |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Getting caught up on this thread... Loving everything about this rig. Really enjoy reading your witty and enthusiastic updates! By the way... I discovered SPECIFICALLY what happened to your servo and I've outlined that below... " It just keeps on gettin' better." :mrgreen: |

Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day! The weather gave us a break so I met up with Dave and his son at Fassnight Park for some crawlin' .... finally. :roll: We usually just hit the rocks closest to the parking area, crawl to the other end a few hundred feet away, then trek back. This time we decided to go backwards and walk to the far end and crawl our way back. On the way, the Bronco snagged another stick (I guess I pissed of the toothpick fairy :shock:) and it pushed the retainer spring off and dropped the pin out of the front CV on the drive-line. So after a rocky start :lmao: and a repair, we were ready to bust a ghost and whoop some black on ol' blue. https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...pst0qsy5io.jpg Josh hadn't done anything to his Axial, not even put the stinger back on or paint it. (hence the "ghost" :) ) https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psbtbf03uf.jpg And Dave had swapped in his HH motor and put 39 rate springs and 10-wt oil in the shocks of his blue truck, so he was ready to throw down. https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psvzouucvj.jpg Doin' the back-track made for some new lines and challenges. https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...pstwgidpbw.jpg https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psvkrqtvf5.jpg https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psmzzvhbqf.jpg https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psvyyvjfql.jpg https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psxfma7osk.jpg And some not-so-successful attempts .... https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psdaavwm1e.jpg https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psyuvmvsvs.jpg https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...ps0apbmzbp.jpg ..... for some of us. Not-a-problem's for others. ;-) https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...ps99b2kojy.jpg I went right up and over, then turned around to offer help. :roll: and rub in a little salt. :lmao: I was proud of the little green machine again. It went everywhere theirs went, cut tougher lines and even went a few places they couldn't go. "thumbsup" we started at the back of the trio, but even running with a piece of an allen wrench as a CV pin :lmao: https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...pshs2bofn0.jpg .... she lead the pack across the finish line .... and she kicked their butts ... again! "thumbsup" Thanks for lookin'. :) Sorry I didn't shoot any vid's, I'm a slacker. ;-) 8) jim |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco I forgot to mention, after over 4 hours of crawlin' I'm thrilled to say that the new stinger is SOLID and TIGHT!! "thumbsup" You can see in the pic's, Dave's was bent almost straight up, and Josh didn't even replace his from when it fell off last time out. :lmao: LOVIN' the new bumper!! I can carry the truck by the stinger now without worrying about it tearin' off in my hand. :roll: I highly recommend it to anyone cussing theirs every time it comes loose. ;-) Sorry again for the humongo pic's. I guess since a mod's not resizing them, I'll have to shrink 'em before I put 'em on photobungler. :roll: 8) jim |

Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Well, I might have just found it. Is it this one?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f328d0f4ce.jpg Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...32c89f46ac.jpg |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Yessir dat looks like it. "thumbsup" I'm lovin' mine, and I haven't needed to re-tighten the stinger yet! :D It polishes up pretty nice too. ;-) 8) jim |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Awesome. Does it mount up with those post things shown in the pic not on the bumper? Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |
Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Yep, you may need to adjust their length or drill new holes to pull it in. I had cut off my old ones for my winch mount so I just re-used them, same thing tho'. I just checked and that's the same place I bought mine, so it IS the same. "thumbsup" 8) jim |

Re: Dr. F's Kit Bronco Quote:
I got the '73 into the "garage" to fix the CV pin. While I was cuttin' and grindin' a replacement, + 2 xtras for the toolbox :roll: I heard "Trojan MAN" from the TV and I thought hey, THAT's what I need ... that extra layer of protection. :shock: So after puttin' the new pin in and replacin' the keeper coil, I wrapped those rascals with a section of heat-shrink tube. :lmao: https://i1315.photobucket.com/albums...psbx4fhu9h.jpg I know it's not "impregnable" :lmao: but I figure it might help keep the keeper (ahem) kept. :roll: .... at least against a stick .... maybe. Things dried out a little again today and it's s'posed to be nice again tomorrow, so maybe we'll go crawlin'. "thumbsup" I'll try to shoot some vid's if we go. 8) jim |
