Aaahhh, RC. One of the only hobbies you can watch another man grease his shaft and not feel wrong about it.
Haha right!
Now I feel dirty.

Always good to go over everything before taking it out, even if it's rtr!!
I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Great video thanks for making it.
My pleasure Steve! Happy to help where I can mate! Let me know how you go!
@@burdon84 they seemed pretty good like your set up, so I phased the driveshafts while I was in there like your other video and that help smooth things out a lot. Thanks again. 👍
@@steveh8224 my pleasure mate! Really happy to help where I can!
Awesome video. I’m really liking my SG4C. Great tip
Thanks mate!
Class!
Thank you!
Oh I understand now...I use rubber washers, they can flex and move with your axle and at the same time, they seal the diff that little bit more. Its because my kit doesn't come stock with them C clips.
Johnny, you font of all knowledge you, after installing a boomracing overdrive kit into my boomracing ar44 (front) axle on my 10.2, the diff snags and catches when going forwards downhill. Smooth as silk uphill and on the level. A shimming issue do you think? There is a little play on the shaft but there was before the overdrive went in, so I left it be.
Sounds like it to me mate, when the pressure shifts forward on the truck, the whole drive line shifts a little, she may just want either one little shim added or removed depending on what's already in it
@@burdon84 yeah I reckon so too. Or take the overdrive silliness out altogether.......
@@burdon84 Hey Johnny, finally gotten to this problem diff, so shimmed as suggested and she's butter smooth. So ta v much fella. U Bloody legend.
@@antrc happy to help where I can mate! Glad you sorted it out, it's a great feeling when you fix something like that
Great video. Do you remember if you needed to shim the sg4?
Nope it was perfect mate
Great vid man heaps of usefulness. What was the song at 1:20?
Honestly can't remember mate haha its from a license free site
I HAVE THE CROSS HC-6 HOW CAN I FIX THE PLAY IN THE AXLES???????????
Make sure you've shimmed the axles properly, also let it be noted that all trucks need some movement, otherwise everything is to strained
Right gotcha thank you so much mi FAMILIA!!!!
😀👍💯🇺🇸🙏💜♻️

LUV THE VIDS CHEERS MATE!!!!!
the david attenboro of RC
my diff for my scx10 doesn't catch right away to the wheels it takes a second how do i fix that
Shimming will definitely help that's for sure, a little play is always good as it's basically a protection against breakages
@@burdon84 alright thanks brother
Hey all got a question whats the max tooth count i can go up to on my 64t spur
On what truck? Depending on the truck, sometimes your better off changing the motor to either a higher or lower turn to get the effect your after. Lower turn given you more wheel speed and less torque, higher being lower wheel speed and higher torque
@@burdon84 its a hsp wolverine 4wd brushless its a cheapo
With cheap stuff it's usually best to leave it be lol they tend to break easy haha
Advice helped a lot! Passed on by @antrcfun
Happy to help mate! Antrcfun are good people!
@@burdon84 sure are!
My SSD PRO44S run smooth as butter now!
My diff slips on sudden acceleration so doing this will help im a noob
The diffs really shouldn't slip, definitely open everything up and take a look at what's going on inside
@@burdon84 the diff pinion is loose so ill probably have to shim other than that the gears look fine
@@burdon84 ive shimmed the back diff no difference ill do the front see how that works its just that click is really annoying the noise only happens in reverse
That's a crap ton of grease 😬
No it's not lol
@@burdon84 ☠️
@@Awilson1218 don't you stress buddy, I know what I'm doing lol
This is not what shimming a diff refers to. Firstly, you don’t have a diff. You have a solid axle which is great for crawling. I would refer to your video as shimming your pinion. The shim determines the play between,.... you know the rest. Nice video. Just needs a better title
I bet your fun at parties... in the rc crawler world, this is how you shim your diffs.. as it's all a part of the diff setup itself and is what helps it all run as it should. I'm an Aussie, we use our terminology..
Fair enough...what's typically though of as diff shimming isn't in fact diff shimming either then. It's ring & pinion shimming. Technically diff shimming takes place INSIDE the diff.
@@jmills4313 yes another great point!! Everyone in the world makes the same mistake over and over again and nobody ever questions the terms and the bad habits get passed on forever
