- So I had the dreaded click! like so many others I took the motor out and yes the click was still there. So the gearbox has had the once over. You'll find all information in the video. Sorry about the intro but it has to be said for future reference.
Hope you find this video informative and maybe educational, as always like,comment,share and subscribe! For future projects and fixes.
Excellent! Shimming those shafts is a brilliant idea, and makes perfect sense to anybody mechanically inclined. Well played... Keep it up!
Thanks Geoffrey that means alot coming from a man such as your self. I thought you might appreciate this as I've watched lots of your content. Your very entertaining and very knowledgeable, i try my best where and when I can. Tha is again rely appreciate the comment and feedback. Stay safe

Keep up the great work brother i don't even have this car and still watched lol
Thats epic dude thanks for the support definitely more to come on this one. I think I'm in love with my trx4 dam this cabin fever haha. Thanks dude 😁
Nice one brva! Big help 👊🏾
Glad it helps you out bro.
The wltoys guru has officially moved onto the big mods!? Moving up in that sub count, goes to show you’re passing on some class knowledge here dude!
Dude if not for you guys I wouldn't bother tbh fun fact lol. You help people through your live streams. Kinda made Me want to help in some way. People have different problems and two minds are better than one. Thanks for the epic! Comment and I hope to do the beast justice.
Just about to do mine. Thanks for mentioning the shim thickness :)
Imagine not giving the sizes in the video haha. Hope it all works at the same dude.
@@mehimrc1314 :)
Awesome info buddy 😀 mine started clicking the other day. And it's only a month old. 👍
Dam dude a month old, I wonder if they anticipated the breaking in period. the body makes the entire car sound loud as well. However this has been a great improvement for that clickety click. Thanks for the comment and support
@@mehimrc1314 thx bro for ur reply. Il start stripping it down soon or will modelsport send me something you think to solve it. 🤔
I don't think any model company offers a fix for the click, I honestly haven't seen such an item yet. It's simple enough dude if you get stuck give is a shout.
@@mehimrc1314 thx bro and for ur reply I will. Big thx
Hi! Tuning at its Best! Thumps up! Greatings from Germany! 😎
Welcome to the channel and thanks for appreciating my video, this was as fun project to take on, these cars are amazing but have issues like every RC car.
@@mehimrc1314 Yeah! Total agree! Big Tolerances = mighty clearance RADIAL & AXIAL = Easy to handle/ mount = Cheap Quality = more Profit... (Sorry for my bad English) 😉
I understand your meaning dude. Yeah really sad when it's about money over quality. Yet we pay regardless
@@mehimrc1314 I think, Traxxas is a little bit better than AXIAL. I think... I have an Axial SCX III Gladiator... Click! Click! Click! Sounds from the Gearbox, Portals... (the spare-parts lists from Axial... terrible... many Numbers are not korrekt a.s.o.) But: "Shit happens"! 😎 Pull the Trigger and shoot that Thing up the Hill! Bashing befor Crawling! What ever you can hear, it is still working! Is there Nothing to hear, is it broken... 😉 I try to fix it whith shims, like you do... Or put somthing in my ears. 😉
@@michaeltrilck5680 Wow very surprised to hear Axial have these issues. People seem say good things, maybe not wanting to admit they've got problems lol. Haha I like your style my friend bash before crawl.
❤❤❤
Great tips! Thank you 👍🍻
Cheers dude I had to figure this one out, diesel noise but no sound box haha something wasnt right. Now I'm a happy crawler, well sort of only the motor mount to figure out next.
@@mehimrc1314 I have the Carisma F150 and I'm torn on going brushless with it, I love the truck but it needs a bit more speed between obstacles.
@@robsrcinsanity1220 i thought crawling was meant to be slow haha. But I get you dude bit more speed doesnt hurt. I think I'd run this in sport mode if I go brushless, Crawl/trail mode would probably strip my portale axle if I stop hard.
@@mehimrc1314 You are totally right, slow is where it's at but getting from point a to b I'd like to see at least 15mph or so.
@@robsrcinsanity1220 it doesn't do over 15mph wow I see your point. The trx4 does like 20mph at least, swap the motor out for a 15T the trx has a 21T stock.
Hey m8 inno its been a year but i was wondering if i can use also the stock traxxas ones 5x8x0.5 ?bc i can find any in the right size🙈
0.5 on the thickness might be too much, that's why I always suggest 0.1 or 0.2mm thickness so you can still have free movement. I only added one 0.5 mm shim the rest are 0.1mm
Sorry I can't suggest anything more.
What are the exact measurements for all the shims you used? I'm going to do this as I don't want that diesel sound.
I say the exact sizes in the video.
@@mehimrc1314 yeah I realized that now! I'll get me pause finger and pen at the ready! What do you think the benefit of this shimming is? Bar noise reduction, will it extend the life of the gearbox/ transmission?
@@martinchristopher80 don't know about extending the gearbox life But it definitely gets that diesel noise out the way.
@@mehimrc1314 I quite like that sound, saves £30 and messing with a sound box!!
@@martinchristopher80 I honestly never thought of it like that. It's the clicking at low rpm that done my head in. But I totally understand your point, why pay £30 when the noise is there epic.
👍🏼👍🏼where can we get the shims?Just washers at local hardware store?
eBay has been my go to place, I find most shims and bearing I need.
Great instructions. Are the shims you added Traxxas 1985? If not, which ones? Thanks mate.
I used to types of shims 5×10×0.1mm thick added the link.
The other are the same size but 0.5mm thick can't find that link sorry mate. But just buy 0.1 and add as many as you need. Hope this helps 👍
