    I’m sure the sand is killing that bearing but if arrma would have listened they could have put a sealed / shielded bearing in there knowing it’s collected dirt there in the past to stop the failure 🤷🏻‍♂️but good thing is we know and it’s one more item to replace before we run are RTR outcast4s ( ready to rebuild) 👍👍

      I doubt that Arrma has any plan to upgrade the bearings they purchase, ..they obviously sourced those bearings from whoever they buy them from with the intent to get them as cheap as possible to keep their costs down and then just tell the customer.. "we dont recommend the vehicle be run in a dusty environment" and will not warranty it . I personally will never buy an RC I have seen have issues and think to myself.. "well I'll just replace the motor bearing before running a BRAND NEW.. RC" .. they wont get my money if they arent willing to improve their product.. they could just raise the price by 10 bucks and cover the cost for good motor bearings

Haven't had any issues since. But whenever I'm doing maintenance it always something I check for now. Great video!! 💯

    One thing I've done to help with the sand in the motors on those BLX vehicles is put high heat tape over the holes on the motor that aren't being used. That transmission, like you said, allows a lot of debris into that area in general.

    To prevent (most of the) dust from going into the motor take some glue (i like to use the ones who stay flexible) and close the holes where the tree wires come out. Do this from the inside so it will be clean and not noticable from the outside.

    Maybe you think what significance does a video like this have? I’d say invaluable as I watched it was interesting that the motor pinion had a C clip on the end. This is why I have a Losi Lasernut & even with lock tight the pinion keeps coming loose. It’s good for a few runs then comes loose. It has spectrum electronics & the motor doesn’t come with a clip to hold the pinion? I’m curious why is it just older. I just took it apart & re did everything so I can drive it again so I’m happy for now. I saw you getting some good air with yours so far mine has broke every few times out but now things seem to be ok except the pinion coming loose🤨

You can give the dust a way out with Rich Duperbash's mod - he dremmels a hole in the chassis underneath the spur gear to allow dirt and debris to exit the center transmission area. Seems like a good idea, think Ill do it on mine before running the truck.

    I'm sorry about the bearing issue as I don't think there is any hope for this issue at the moment, I don't catch all the tidbits of information from arrma but I have a decent pool of people that tell what they can, and yes I indeed am worried about this new 4s line just little things that don't seem to have been thought through and then rushed through testing on their end, 2 of the most obvious examples are the drive shift I think on the wheels they are hitting the shock springs might not be a issue up front but I'm willing to guess it will cause issues down the road, at least spring issues, and who knows mabey dive shaft issues, there is another first run sign that leaves marks on place it shouldn't but I am not remembering it at moment um I think u pointed it out as well, but agin It might be nothing to worry about, my deeper worry is that production model will have the same careless thought put into them, just because there is a paper that says it will work does not mean, it will. Ok agin I'm sorry about the motor bearing it in my opinion is just another troubling sign that arrma is not the kind of company that they once were, I just don't think spectrum is the thing they should go with and I to almost always switch out motors and speed control often but not always I switch my radio and receiver out to a Dumbo to be honest, I also agree, when they pulled the blx systems from their rigs they lost a big support piece of their business, heck I'm still buying blx systems as often as possible

    Yeah okay, you've been somewhat rough, but no rougher than is reasonable.
    I hesitate to even class it as an "accellerated usage" type deal because many buyers will do exactly (if not more of) the same type of driving you've been doing & expect their BLOODY EXPENSIVE NEW RC to handle it better than this.!
    It's not looking good I fear.
    All of this happened quick.!
    Also, Spectrum gear SUCKS HARD.!
    There's not one piece of Spectrum left in any of my 3 Arrmas.
    The shortest was an ESC at 1 week & the longest was a motor at around 8 months...
    (got sick of rebuilding them & chucked them in the spares motor box, I've had better from a £15 Surpass motor).
    Unless you count the radio gear, that's all still good... Because it's been in a box for a couple of years after being ripped out immediately.
    Arrma need to sell all their RCs as rollers the way Hobao do & give us the choice of electronics... It won't be Spectrum.!

    I've had my 4s for almost 4 years. Been changed from a outcast to a kraton. I've had it with the clutch system (on 4s only). The rear side of the clutch is a problem!!!!. Weather you buy a replacement set of clutch plates . Out of center and the way it cracks and falls apart
    I've been using the inner racer part of a old bad bearing I take 2 apart just for the inner racer. I put 2 of the inner racer parts and slid it over the back end of the slipper clutch and over time it still cracks and falls apart. Twice I ordered new clutch plates and the came bent amain sent me new clutch plates no problem.
    WHY?🤦‍♂️
    4s is to heavy and powerful for the 4s line!!!! Clutch plate is too weak(cheap aluminum no good!!!!)

  • @roberttruesdell6151

    It’s all about cost. They won’t put a high quality bearing in there because it cost to much. On top of that most people won’t be changing it they will replace the motor. So they get more sales that way.
    Spektrum gear is over priced garbage.
    But the key here is to replace that bearing before it fails and it will be much easier and no down time.
    Lastly, that was way to much loctite on that pinion grub screw!!! Just a dab on the first two threads is all that is needed.

    • @rcguygarage
      @rcguygarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Remove single screw underneath chassis that's attached to the red block between the center spine and the motor mount, remove one side Tower to Tower brace, swing away, compress drive shaft to remove, swing rear battery stop to remove red block and slides towards battery tray area, pull up center tab (looks like half of a butterfly wing) gently use some type of a pry bar to push module towards ESC or center spine area work left to right gently and that will pull the entire module out the only thing you may have to do is remove the one screw that is attached to the motor wires retainer just to give slight bit more clearance disconnect motor and fan wires. Hopefully that helps
