I know I had the same problem but I just turned the pinion around with the collar out board.

Jslick · 07-19-2010, 04:20 PM

the motor shaft is too short on the Stump puller to flip it. I am going to grind the pinion down tonight and retry it, but first I think I will try to make a thin motor backing plate, so I don't have to keep grinding pinions if I want to switch from a 10t to 12t or any others.

Shoot me an email and I will see what I can do about making you a machined aliminum spacer

Thanks, Sent you an email with pics.

Is there a way to add more than one thing to the invoice when ordering off of your site? I'm trying to buy the new servo/4 link mounts and I can only select one at a time.

Thanks.

billet works · 08-31-2010, 10:59 PM

I'm currently in the process of completely revamping my site to add a ton of updates along with make buying easier. That said, if you send me an email with what all you want, I can give you a total and take care of it in one hit.

Thanks for bearing with me...I promise I am hard at it

No worries! Just was wondering about an easier way. I sent you an email

sdcrawls · 09-07-2010, 04:37 PM

Got them today and everything looks great! Can't wait to get everything put on my truck.

TedBull · 10-18-2010, 05:54 PM

I have a VF dig. The coupler and set screw spun around the rear output shaft. I did some work with a grinder and used locktight and it is working. I ruined two servos before I figured out why it was slipping in 4x4. Also just snapped the supplied foward output shaft. These output shafts seem soft and weak. Do you offer a HD replacment? I have a robinson racing products one piece diff gear made from steel and something like that with the collar for the dig coupler and brass rod would be great. Can you hook me up with some replacment parts? I sent you a PM yesterday. I also tried contacting you thru your email on you website four times with no response.

billet works · 10-18-2010, 06:18 PM

sorry for the delay in reponse, I've been searching through my boxes trying to find any remaining spares. Sol had a ton of dig parts and kits when our partnership ended August '09, so I haven't made anything for them since. I am working on a brand new AX-10 Dig but it's not ready yet. Best bet is to pick up a full DNA dig for 35 bucks from Sol to get you going again...since he appears to still have some of them

Don, I ended up ordering two DNA digs from 210solomon007. The digs arrived and I have been working on installing one of them. That machine work on my DNA digs is fairly poor. One of the cases had deep scratching that went well into the outside of the case. The internals have sharp edges that inhibit smooth coupling and the outdrives are not true. the guide rods are differant lengths on both units and one of them had alot of burrs. I have over 15 hours now of time into trying to get it to function properly. I have alot of experiance setting up my VF dig so I know how to get the endpoints perfect and how to set up the linkage to prevent binding. With the DNA I had to do a lot of filing and sanding with emery. I had it working and then it bound up and burnt up my might mini servo before I could remove the body and kill the power. Anyways, I was happy with the function of my VF dig but I kept snapping the aluminum internals. I bought the two DNA digs because they have the HD internals and I am not happy at all with them. I sure could use a new servo and some internals that are trued and with clean machining. I did get one dig working with using mixed parts from all three digs. It still does not work flawlessly as it binds up at times but it is going to have to do for this weekends comp. The rear outdrive out of the dig is so untrue that it visably wobbles and causes vibration. I would appreciat any help.

Ted, aside from owning the design rights, I am in no way associated with the digs sold through Sol since early August '09. I do not nor have I received anything for the sale of any of the digs since that time. That being the case, your warranty is through Solomon. I'm sure he will get you fixed up if you'll email him. The reason I sent you his way in the first place is due to the fact that I have no dig parts here.

Ok, thanks don. Sorry I vented on your thread. I will PM Sol.

The U-Dig fell behind some more pressing (more affordable) projects. It and the I-Dig are both still in the works and I hope to reveal them soon. Only reason for the delay is due to the HUGE investment involved in projects like DIG's. They aren't like chassis parts or even wheels. The only way to affordably make them (where they are affordable for consumers to purchase) is to make hundreds at a time. Prototyping is done on both and they work awesome and are very unique...just a matter of pulling the cash together to make a batch while keeping food on the table and a roof over our heads
