Summary of the Video
Introduction
The video starts with Tony RC in the pit area. He explains that he has already changed the pins on his RC car (model XRAY XB2 2024) once before because he has been driving a lot since the beginning of the season. Despite the previous replacement with pins from Hudy, the pins are already showing signs of wear. Tony decides to demonstrate how to change a pin live.
Preparation and Necessary Tools
For this task, Tony presents the necessary tools:
A mallet
A small hammer
A pin extraction tool from Hudy
A drive shaft
New long-life pins (2.5 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length)
Tony notes that the Hudy tool comes with special tips for TT18 pins, but he has purchased specific options for the 2.5 mm pins.
Removing the Old Pin
Tony starts by protecting the table with a piece of wood before using the Hudy tool to extract the old pin. He shows how to properly align the tool and gently tap with a hammer until the pin is flush. Once flush, he changes the tip to continue extracting the pin completely. He warns to carefully center the tool to avoid damage.
Installing the New Pin
With the old pin removed, Tony introduces the new pins from UFK, known for their durability due to a special treatment. He demonstrates how to position the new pin and starts tapping it gently to insert it. He alternates sides to ensure the pin is correctly centered, adjusting the force of the taps to avoid damaging the components. Once the pin is in place, he checks that everything is properly aligned and secured.
Tips and Practical Advice
Tony offers several tips throughout the process, including protecting the table, the importance of properly centering the tool, and checking alignment at each step. He also emphasizes the importance of using quality tools to facilitate the process and minimize the risk of damaging parts.
Conclusion
The video concludes with Tony inviting viewers to try it themselves, reminding them that there are still two more pins to change. He thanks the viewers for their attention and concludes by highlighting the importance of regular maintenance to maintain the performance of their RC car.

Pour ceux qui n'ont pas trop de moyens, il faut chauffer la boule et tourner le pin à 180😉

[@TonyRCfrance]

Merci beaucoup de cette astuce effectivement dans le passé ça m'arrivait de les changer sans avoir d'outil

[@ChristopheChardon]

Merci pour le tuto, mais si les pins hudy sont "usables" c'est peut-être pour préserver les noix de cardans ? T'as des retour sur leur usure avec les pins UFK ?

[@TonyRCfrance]

Merci beaucoup et bien nous sommes plusieurs à essayer les pin ufk on sera en mesure de vous faire un retour dans quelques semaines 😉

[@ChristopheChardon]

@@TonyRCfrance Je pense que t'avais compris mais en gros c'est moins cher (surtout chez XRAY) de changer les goupilles plutôt que les noix
