Carefull jumping it, the plastic motor mount flexes and kills spur gears :-(

I ran it for a couple of minutes but i think i overpacked the diffs with putty, the motor sounds strained(19t pinion), and the front diff clicks, i will remove some of the putty and try again later.
I hear you on the gear problems, i have tt hummer and i locked the diffs threw a 16t pinion and a 45t motor and the gear cover i think flexes when the chassis is on a bind and the inner gears start to skip, or is it the motor mount??

Thanks for the comments"thumbsup"

The body is Lexan? Dang, I thought it was plastic.

How wide is it at the outside of the tires?

Any closeups of how the power gets to the front?

Motor mount flexes allowing pinion to slip on the spur gear.

It uses a looped wire driveshaft from the rear gearbox and "ball cups" at both ends.

How do you guys pull that off? I have had my TA01-02 Hummer for 5 years now and turned it into a Trophy truck that takes WOT landings and I;m still on my first motor mount and spur gear. I think you guys are using the weak Tamiya Pinions made from aluminum. Get the RR steel ones and you shouldn't strip another.

 

[william g]

gpm and tamiya both made aluminum motor mounts
and
yes the RR metric pinions are a better pinion, the tamiya ones are to soft. :-(
