So Who s done What to there AWD s

[rcs2die4]

Hey All,

Just thought I d ask whatY all havedone to ya AWD s so far !!

So far I ve installed :

Atomic ball bearing kit

Atomic carbon fibermain shaft

Atomic Blue alloy No2 Motor mounts

Kyosho X-Speed AWD motor with Yeah Racing BB Can

Silver Alloy wheel nuts

Team Associated stealth diff lube in both diffs

RC ScrewzStainless allan key screws in all screw holes on top

Blue R34 GTR Skyline cover

Sanyo HR-4U 900mAh Ni-MH AAA s (These are sic ass cells guys !!)

I also have these parts which i haven tinstalled yet

Kyosho 4.5deg Camber Knuckles

Kyosho Tie rod set

So yeah, spill ya guts guys.

[kevsta]

All I’ve done so far is…

Yeah racing ball bearing kit running dry

8.5mm drift rims

Packed diff with Team associated silicon diff grease.

I’ve got 1.5/3.0 degree negative camber knuckles and the front/rear tie rods which I haven’t installed yet. I’m going to only replace parts for durability on this chassis as I went a little overboard with alloy on my mr02.

stop teasing guys! gimme some pics!

That BB can is an audley can and they are crap….

I put a stock armature in 1 just to go a bit faster and burnt out stock fets in my 01 last year…

Buy the Pn bb cans or Atomic…

[rcs2die4]

I ve got a few of these cans soldby yeah racing and so do a few mates of mine and non of us have ever had an issue with them !!!( I dont think you can buy them anymore anyway…)

I have a fewAtomic canstoo (1of which is on myplasmatomic motor) and yeah they look cool butit doesn’t proform any better then the yeah racing ones do !!! Maybe cooling but definatly no speed or torque differences, and at three times the priceI dont think it’s worth it….

Anyway, each to there own….

what good is the diff lube? If I may ask…..

[ph2t]

Done the following to my ma-010.

PN Anima motor (lowest gearing)

Atomic CVD ‘s (they need to be shimed to stop the wobble they introduce, 🙁 )

3Racing bearing set.

Atomic low ride spring set (Med)

That”s about it for now. I”ve got the Kyosho alloy driveshaft comming along with alloy outdrives (both pn and atomic ones). I”ve also got the wheel set comming as well. I don”t like how on the stock shaft that the pinion on the front doesn”t have a notch to lock it into the shaft. BAh, even the dumbarse xmods had it! The Kyosho driveshaft at least appears to have a brass one that I”m sure won”t budge!

I only had two caps on the Anima motor and I noticed it was a bit twitchy on the steering response and throttle at times. So I added the third cap.

I also added a power cap to the main chassis +ve/-ve, it ”””’s 1000uF at 6V so it””””s pretty small given it””””s capacity. The AWD chassis gives you a great spot to put it on as well!

[rcs2die4]

As you know the stock diifs are dry.. SoI thought that ifI putsome lube in there itwould allow me to control howfree they are !!! put a little more in the front then the rear !!! and alsohoping that it would make the action a little smoother too…. BUT!!! I ‘ve decided to remove the grease now asI think it ended up making them run a little to stiff even ifI removed most of it ..so now they are dry again,louder ! but seem to run OK….

One thing that has got me stumped though is as a completely standard car with just the lowest gearing, lowered all roundand some real hard rubber tyres, it would drift awesome on my hard wood floors… now with the same setupbut with the carbon centre shaft and theAWDX-Speed motor in a BB can it will not drift at all !!!!!

Any idears guys ???

P.S. Can’t wait to my silver Atomic CVD’s and Blue Atomic cups toturn up…

[HACHI-RYOKU]

The carbon center shaft isn’t gripping the forward pinion well enough. Just a guess. I doubt it’s the motor.

[jamiekulhanek]

good stuff guys, now grab some FETs and lipo s!!

[Aaron]

PN Outdrives, Dry bearings and alloy motor heatsink should be in mine by the end of the week.

Outdrives, bearing washer, heatsink will all be in the shop within 24 hours.

whats an outdrive? *boggles*

heatsink i understand!

[Aaron]

Outdrives are the little half shafts that go from the diff to the drive cups for the CV joints….

PN has some nice alloy ones (arrived today)

[ph2t]

You getting any alloy CVD s in that ARN’T ATOMICS?

[z-beam]

how is it better to have that part alloy if the wheels are plastic? i just dont get it!

but im still interested in em… what colour alloy heatsinks did you get?

[ph2t]

When you take into account the twisting forces on the drivetrain, the outdrive is one of the weak points.

[z-beam]

yes i suppose it is!

[peteWah]

There you Go….
