Thankyou Mr. Holmes for being outspoken and not afraid. I do feel better knowing I am not alone.......
- we have you John, an example of humanity, that is not in fear of being open & transparent. Trifling Times.
- Please fight the good fight !! 🇺🇲
Buy once and buy right that's why I buy Holmes Hobbies
Shows your character posting this video, as if I wasn't already a fan of your company lol. Love your stuff man!
I write this in hope that you shall enjoy it: I had this precise, exact problem, and I have never taken a transmission apart. I drove too long a screw in my Axial Capra 1/10 transmission (probably swapped a short for a long one...) and this video was a godsend. Funny I say that because, we also know that the gods of RC did not want me to see that, but you also mentioned they like to be cussed at so now they are proud of the both of us, because you did the video and I followed on your steps of user error, cuss and fix procedure. Thank you so much for this... I had no idea why my Capra would 1) not climb 2) be all stiff and jerky and 3) chew through LiPos like crazy (and warm them up nice and crispy). I thought it was the motor, but it was fine, I kept disassembling until I found a stiff gear that was always stiff at a specific turn.. Took the grease out and there it is, I drilled too far a screw in. Cleaned it with a knife, etc. etc. I mean I don't have to explain it to you, you made the video! Thank you, John!
My most expensive mistake was building my first crawler like 12 years ago! Took over my life lol love it!
Same problem cheaper than full size cars though
yeah, that was where I went downhill too!
Great video and I'm highly considering the 1.9 wraith I already have the wraith 2.2 and love it I'm a wraith man but I'm looking at turning this one into a competition machine for mud and rocks etc. Its good for know that the transmission is metal gears. Good showing
"Hate that cat" lmao 😂. We all do stupid things once in a wile. I burnt up a perfectly good Novak sensored brushless ESC. 2s rated and plugged in a 3s. Magic smoke got out.
Makita all the way, that green just gets me
John, your a great guy! The best 1/4" Harbor Freight driver with clutch settings on it. I think it's about time to build another 1.9 Wraith. Using you and Harley designs ideas. Have a awesome Easter. Tom
I love your videos man I have conversations with you as you talk to us I’m just getting back in the RC’s was in them in the 80s and I’m back I picked up 8 Crawler’s this year it’s ridiculous I’ve been selling off my1:1 full-size cars just to play with these as I get older But I do enjoy your product and your commentary and humor thank you keep up the work
Glad to see I'm not the only one who makes there own issues...lol
Thank you John!!!
You've just convinced me to pull the Gearbox on my SCX10 II... It's the SBK, and has the RTR Gearbox.
..... And I installed longer Screws - ON PURPOSE! 😡😖 I've got a bit of cogging in reverse.
Could be that, could be Diff Gear mesh.
Hey! I'd like to see a Video on setting up proper mesh on SCX10 II Diffs.
Glad yours was simple. We ALL make mistakes!
My most expensive? 2002, just bought a new T-MAXX.
Took it on a Fishing trip, and was breaking in the Engine ON THE BOAT.
Well, there was a surge, just fast enough to engage the Clutch....
And she drove INTO Lake Mead!!! 😖😡😡😡😭
In such a deep part of course, it would have required Divers to retrieve it...
BIG LOSS!
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
oy, that's a hard loss!
Looks like I'll be shimming these pinions on a future vid. The binding is really starting to bug me.
It seems to be a chronic problem with the SCX10 II... At least the one piece Axle type.
And yeah... That Hurt! 😡😭
You made a subscriber and a customer this week with you honesty. Where many may have just deleted the footage you showed us no one is perfect. Great job on the video and my cat is a asshole also.
Thanks Karl! At least I didn't ruin the transmission and it was an easy remedy.
Give this man some GREASE!
lost opportunity to use some CowRC grease!
Milwaukee bro, imo best power tools out there
Good stuff too. I got hooked on the dewalt packs and haven't been able to make a switch. 5 drills, sawzall, and leaf blower. Thats how they get you!
@@HolmesHobbies nothing at all wrong with Dewalt and if I'm being honest when I started buying power tools seeing as how the major players in the market are all similar in performance, I went with Milwaukee because I love black and red! 😳 Yup, I just admitted to buying tools based on appearance lol
Sir I was expecting you to pull out the extra long driver! Lol I always get a good laugh!
Next pay day I’m purchasing a revolver motor from you! Been saving cause life itself is expensive! but I’m glad to say I’m finally gonna get to order it. Can’t wait!
Dewalt is the pro version of blak and decker! Milwaukee has more torque.
Good one.
Honestly, you're using Black & Decker if you love Dbrand neweWalt & their new cordless line won't last if use them daily...well, the batteries won't more correctly. In my Shop I'm moving away from DeWalt cordless tools & have gone with Ryobi, they have a lifetime warranty & are affordable, when one craps out I return it on warranty & get a new one, but never had anything crap out yet honestly.
As for the Axial trans cases, I find sometimes their quality control leaves a lot to be desired, have had to take apart tranny's that have never been run before because it was assembled like crap.
You know what they say "so many cats & so few good recipes"...canya'll tell I love my dog?
As always a wicked video, heaps of fun & informative too.
The first gen dewalt lithiums were a joke, especially with the brushed motors. 10 three inch screws and done. These new ones aren't too bad, but there's no way the 2 or 2.5ah packs can handle construction. The 18v nicads are still better. My brushless impact and drill does well with the 5ah lithium packs though, I've built a few walls and they get through 100+ screws without fading. I think it would do fine on a job site, but would absolutely need the 5ah packs to prevent sagging and early LVC.
"And I don't like him because he's an asshole..." lmao My sentiments exactly, it's why I have Capone instead. lol
If you don’t know already. when putting in the driveshaft make sure the little pins on the swivel part of the driveshaft are lined up which each other from end to end of the driveshaft👍
Dewalt & Black & Decker are the same company & i have herd that they sometimes share parts on there battery power tools
They do share parts Brother, that ain't just a rumor.
that may be but there certainly not the same quality tool.
Nice troubleshooting, problem isolation, and fixing! We’re foster cat owners, if there ever was such a thing, and they’re pretty cool, mostly because they catch most of the mice getting into our home. I generally like dogs more, but I won’t raise anymore, because I’m tired of picking up poop, ya know? 😄 I generally carry a small Case knife that I picked up at that Shepherd Hills outlet on I-44, when we would travel down to NW Arkansas, from St. Louis.
Oopsy all cats are asshats lol. Keep up the good work sir
My Axial builder's kit plastic spur gear has so much run-out that if I adjust to the "tight" side the opposite side is almost out of mesh. I have emailed Axial multiple times with no response. I really think these big crawling companies have gotten complacent about development and quality control. And too used to charging an arm and a leg for little injection molded plastic parts that cost them fractions of pennies to make. Also: Three boobed aliens for the win!
I refuse to allow myself to see that mistake. John Holmes makes no mistakes!
nothing but a chance to learn
@@HolmesHobbies Absolutely man, mistakes is how some things were invented.
Luv your videos Mang!
thank you sir!
Spyderco paramilitary 2 folding knife. Thank you for asking.
I have a few spyderco's, love them
My B&D has outlasted all the Dewalts I’ve ever had.
Turtle, yeah Voodoo my go to tire, and now they got the new KLR/M they are awesome,
I’m using a Dewalt Gryo screw driver for all my RC power took needs. I have a few cats that are ass holes too LOL, starting to prefer my dogs! Do you feel the rear sway bar hinders the rear suspension travel at all on your 1.9 Wraith? I do on mine! I’m using VP F9 Portals though, things mount up 1/2” higher.
sway bar didn't hurt at all, only improvements. It does flex less at the rear, but stock is too much rear flex anyway.
Did you ever do that differential shiming video? I would love to see it.
Nah, I need to get back on this rig
Hi love your videos. Im trying to have fun with my axial wraith 2.2 during this coronavirus time and the wheel screws keep backing out. Tried locktite. Very frustrating. Any idea how to fix this?
Ryobi is my go to.
I would say other than your motor, servo, and mamba x, the next things that made a difference were the Vanquish stainless brake weights up front, Overdrive, and the BGR Sliders. I bought this rig as a spare for people to use that didnt have one. That was $1700 ago, I love this thing and rarely drive any of the others now! LOL!!
I once owned a great black and decker toaster oven 😂 I don’t think dewalt makes that... so maybe for baking off tires I’d use their product. And referencing you “ tool collector” comment. The proper term is “ tool hoarder “ , and there is no shame in being one of them. Thanks for the great content as always 👍🏻
Nice video! I learned a lot. Question I didn’t see the link risers. Did you add them? What are the Pros and Cons?
I haven't installed yet. Will let me tune antisquat easier.
Love the vid, youre a funny guy haha 😆
Most expensive mistake... Running a hot RC10T over one of those round curbs and into a metal sign pole at about 60-70 mph. Ripped the left A-arm and wheel off the bulkhead, tweaked the aluminum frame a bit too. Too bad we didn't have smart phones back then, the crash was impressive lol
Hi all. Thanks for the video . I have a clacking noise when reversing, is that normal ? I just bought the axial writh I'm thinking reverse gear or prop .
The big red........Milwaukee all the way.
Id swear by DeWalt. I've had Makita stuff before too when Li-ion first came out. But for this small stuff, you should consider the 12v stuff. Can get the drill and 1/4" driver for pretty cheap.
Always a joy to watch brother! Love my Holmes! Hey where do I get a sticker for my cane bro! So I can represent your products bro! We know what you mean! Hahahahaha! DeWalt! OOPSIE!🤣👊
Shoot us an email, we can send you some
#200milewraith19 (181.7 total miles) took almost 50 miles to get that forward/reverse hitch in the ar44s which was about the same with several other ar44 equipped rigs, especially the one piece axle versions. Haven’t cracked the axles and only cracked the trans to confirm metal gears and noticed plenty of that ugly cosmoline smelling goo. Recently picked up this same hitch and hope it can make that final 20 pushing the rig with a HH 21t Trailmaster.
Sounds like we need to shim that axle pinion. The old housings didn't have this issue.
OK so late to this party, would love to build up a Ultra4 rig, would you recommend the wraith over the bomber or do you have another option??
Makita, (old black and decker drill), Colorado here
Hi John, just got a quick look at the axles...are those hub extenders installed?
nay, no extenders
Dewalt my go to tools
I use a supermarket drill driver for most stuff. it's not like you need the best stuff to unbolt a skid plate. but if I wanted to drill through an inch of steel I probably would use something better. so far I ain't burnt a drill driver out on an rc truck. n likewise I havnt needed to drill through an inch of steel. I bet I still have the same drill driver in 20 years. unless I start drilling through concrete or something.
I have a big problem In my trans I have a capra and if I loosen my slipper clutch spins just fine. Barely tighten it until it will spin the wheels then its binds up bad I'm so bummed I've had it apart a few times and can't find the problem
Back in the day crystal radio ...wrong crystal... bang nitro track car in solid brick wall ...hooray for 2.4 ....hand tools for know ...power tools for show !!!
Does the strength of the magnets affect the function of the trans?
If the magnets were in a can that was too thin, it would heat up metal gears.
Well Sir I hate to break the bad new to you Stanley Black and Decker Inc. Owns Dewalt.......LOL
shhhhhh, don't spoil the joke
You like Black & Decker because Black & Decker owns DeWalt. And as far as power tools go the DeWalt power driver with clutch 8.4 volt is the Ultimate RC car working tool. They also have a clutchless version I don't recommend that one.
@$$hole cat. Hahaha. That was too funny. Hahaha.
I'd change that spur-gear too....that's beyond tolerances.....still going to get slow-down everytime that tight spot comes around....or at least it'd bug me.
I saw that too. spur is not true center by a midges. also I don't have a cat my wife does, and he is an asshole.
@@telfow1 Hahahaha...cats...hahaha
My son is allergic to cats....so I'll never know if they can be
@$$holes. Hahaha
Sweetness. 😎#1
How much does something like this end up costing? Im looking to get into the hobby
Am I Addicted RC lol give me an idea
Am I Addicted RC oh ok a grand or two makes sense. Thanks for letting me know
Carrying the Kershaw leek
I have been having the same issue with my motor slipping into the spur and getting really tight.
I keep a tube of Lucas Red & Sticky in my RC shop. That way I don’t have to reuse the Chinese grease.
Good video, I always learn something from your vids. And I love the commentary. I would make one suggestion though. Stop using that drill as a screwdriver. It's way overpowered for that application. A cordless screwdriver is what you want.
I didn't want to steal them from the shop, they use them for production and I don't have a spare for the hobby house. I do agree though.
What part of Missouri are you from @HolmesHobbies?
columbia
@@HolmesHobbies, sweet I'm just south of Dexter in Bernie. I'll throw ya some business sometime soon and help a fellow Missouri guy out.
My mistake was performance upgrading my first rc before learning how to drive.....broke the chassis in half on the first run smashing into the curb.
So far my most expensive mistake has to be plugging the battery in wrong on my race buggy and fried my tekin esc then the same night had a servo go out on my truggy. Left the track $350 in the red.
You get that knife off the Snapon guy when he stopped at your shop?
They know better than to come by, my shop looks sketchy from outside, lol! I'm glad I didn't get hooked when I was running a machine shop.
Hitachi cordless screwdriver DB 3DL2. Lifetime warranty. I also like Makita.
Er... around 21 minutes did you tighten the pinion up again?
yeah, I had loosened it to ensure the tranny was spinning free. Magic of editing.
my most expensive mistake, was not removing the red power led from an esc after installing a bec and burnt the damn thing out, especially after many bec installs and knowing better........even worse, being in a hurry and doing it a second time with a brand new sidewinder 4, all kinds of nasty words after that one!!
oy, I feel your pain. I've also smoked a few positives that way. Also smoked a few ground wires by accident...
"Are you a black n decker fan?" LMAO
I have a wraith that has drivetrain and esc issues..won't drive fwd very well, loud..obnoxiously so. No reverse..
I have a video of how horrible it sounds.
Need help!
probably chipped tooth somewhere
Dogs over cats any day, cowrc pit mats to save your skrim, toothpicks to clean gear sets, and buying a tekin roc412 system, and finding it to be slower then a brushed 35t on 3s,
I Think Black and decker makes Dewalt Tools
www.stanleyblackanddecker.com/our-businesses/our-brands yea thay own a bunch of stuff, and dewalt went downhill a little when black and decker bought them, but they are still pretty good, lots of plastic in the transmissions now though. But I think everyone uses plastic now. For RC work I love the 12v dewalt pistol drill, it's lightweight and on clutch setting one in second gear I have yet to strip anything. And when not running the transmission locks so you can use it as a hand driver for that last little bit.
They are owned by Stanley. Who also own Black and Decker.
For electric tools I’ve got Makita for my wood/ household tools (drills saws etc) Milwaukee for my Automotive tools (impact drivers screw drivers ratchets etc) only Dewalt tool I own is one of those gyroscopic screwdriver‘s I use mostly on my RC stuff I love that thing.
Btw all cats are A$$Holes 🤣🤣🤣👍🏽
metal axels?
Bro you crack me up!! Screw that Ahole cat! Got what it deserved!
Mistakes are lifes teachers. Some just don't listen. I don't have a Wraith 1.9 or 2.2. But, I still enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing your human side!
I fried my brand new br-xl only 1 pack through it and my receiver trying to use a new radio 😩😅
Mine ain't never been smooth, sometimes just barely give it the trigger take off like a rocket, specially reverse ill jump back 3 feet right I just figured rock racer it was normalI
12v Milwaukee 18v Makita. Future wife had a dog and I had a cat. Father in law to be informed me they were a package deal. We've had multiples of both ever since (43y).
most expensive well lets see ,, oh that's right spending my life in rc.
Buy once cry once. Milwaukee Tools all day everyday
need to add a shim to the driveshafts to eliminate the pinion "suck" and then everything will be as smooth as it can be stock
yeah, that's what it looks like.
It ok, it's your wife's cat. Not your fault. Lol
I just put my plastic infused greased parts in an acetone bath to get them clean faster.
Dewalt XR Drill and Impact and a Dewalt Gyroscopic screwdriver for my R/C
My worst mistake blowing a brand new tekin rs pro esc by soldering the connection to battery the wrong way
I would be lying if I said I've never reversed polarity by accident... I think it is a right of passage in this hobby.
mine dosent move forward back, or turn left and right.
I'm a coward... I'm too worried to use a power driver when screwing into plastic. I've always been a big fan of Makita though... :)
I use a bosch drill driver, it has super low startup speed and control, with a sensitive torque limiter.
I'm carrying a ZT0450 in carbon fiber and titanium.
I've been thinking about making some carbon handles for my daily carries. The weight of a full stainless or stainless/ alloy has been chafing my leg lately. Post leg surgery did something to my skin and made it more irritable.
Black & Decker actually invented the first cordless drill but I agree they suck😂
11:11 hahaha.. aren't most cats?
I carry my spyderco tenacious because if I lose it I won't cry as much as if I lost a more expensive knife.
No doubt! I have a hard time carrying my expensive knives daily. Although I've never lost a knife either, still have my first buck from when I was 10.
Black and decker all the way I only need to buy 4 a year with black and decker
i can confirm that the cat doesn't like you either !
cats rule !
ha! He bugs me the most because I don't give him attention.
I put in the Aluminum splines and the driveshaft know it run smoothly
You forgot the best of all the power tools Milwaukee which I aslo the knife's that I'm carrying
Homes hobbies vs RC sparks it's so hard to be divided
👍🏼
Yeah it’s glass reinforced
Ugh, first mistake... Over tightening screws into a plastic transmission case and then having the entire transmission case shake loose while crawling, killing the drive shaft, the transmission case, and requiring a total rebuild... at Axialfest. :/ Not my happiest moment! :)
Setting the mesh too tight on a traxxas slash 4x4 vxl too tight and snapping the motor shaft
