Having built several myself, I'd add one thing. If you do not have MIP level quality drivers (or even if you do) DO NOT try to run those 2.5mm screws into the nylon gears by hand without tapping the holes first. Tapping those holes first makes life so much easier.
Funny, tonight I spent rebuilding a transmission.....and here you are building a tranny. I wish I had that one, but now I do have a better one than I had when I got home. Thanks for the lesson!
Took your advice on making the Bushido SOA plus paired to the XF trans took it out for its first run today and im impressed hugely by it kept its pacing behind a scx 10pro
The first time I was inside a Stealth X I got the insides all flipped around. I should have known there was a problem when I couldn't spin the gearbox if the screws were tight. Left 'em a little loose and went out to play. Blew out the input shaft bearings.
I rebuilt my 10.3 transmission a few days ago. Because my climate is often wet, I packed it full of marine grease. I’m starting to regret it after running it yesterday. It got a little louder than it used to be and the middle seam is spraying out grease on my battery and everything else.
It really needed it. I’m pretty sure it was the first time it was opened since assembly. I bought it used. It had a lot of rust on some bearings, gears and the dig shift fork was horrible.
But now my dig works better than ever. I think it missed reengaging the rear wheels once. I’m actually surprised how well it has worked. Now I need to learn to use it. I also think reverses shouldn’t count against you.
After finally watching to the end, I 3d printed sliders for my crawler. If my dig servo mount wasn’t built into my chassis rails, I’d 3d print a full size servo mount for it. Since I have the micro dig servo, no shift servo and an old red case 25kg Amazon servo sitting around, I’m going to print a full size shift servo mount.
@@CrawlerCanyon i can see it now, when making the prototype: "what bar stock do we have, need to make a spur gear" "we got this, any good?" "sh*t, too small for 60 teeth, f*ck it, they'll have to make do with 57, there's just enough material for that..."
@@EddieDesigned the 57T, for that perfect 3:1 ratio when paired with the all-too-common 19T 32P pinion. Maybe an OCD thing for me, but a spur should optimally provide the maximum number of “even ratios.” I definitely found this on bikes- 48/16 is SO much smoother than say chugging in 52/17. Do I just not like odd numbers? I am an evenist?
@@CrawlerCanyon right, i've had a think about it now and i think you may be right. On an equal ratio, the teeth of the pinion will always contact the same teeth on the spur on every path, resulting in a uniquely perfect wear pattern. With an unequal ratio, the teeth of the pinion will engage every single tooth on the spur gear over multiple rotations, resulting in a one size fits no-one wear pattern. Sound like a fair theory?
amen
🎉loved hanging out today ❤

This knowledge will be handy when I get an enduro 😎😎😎. Thank you sir

Let's see what's up today. I just took a break from mowing.
How about a mullet truck that's IFS in the front and leaf springs in the back?

One of us. One. Of. Us. ONE OF US
For the mullet truck, i would suggest the Amazon/Injora straight axle. I have been contemplating them for a build and would love your opinion.
Annnnddd theeeenn!😂

That was a great video! Thanks
Arrma spur gears are a perfect fit if you want to switch up to 0.8mod gears. Cheap, strong and easy to get hold of :)
I need to sit down with the engineer who, when asked by Arrma for a spur gear, said, "Yeah, I got a 57T right here." Fifty seven? What?

@@CrawlerCanyon personally i've never thought about it much, as long as it does the job that's the main thing!
