Thank you for taking the time to check out my channel and subscribing/ leaving a comment. These bodys can be a pain in the rear so i understand getting intimidated. I built 3 of these and wont do any more lol of this style.

To install the motor you have to remove a screw from the top of the transmission and one from the bottom that hold the front motor plate and sun gear out of the front of the transmission. On your motor if it is painted you may have to sand or file then paint off the front bearing housing that goes into the motor plate if the motor wont go in the center hole all the way. ( if your using a brushed motor ) Next step is to i stall your transmission supplied pinion gear. ( not changable for other pinions with more or less teeth) this step is a bit of trial and error . Place your pinion gear into the motor shaft and lightly tighten the grub screw so thag the gear can still slide on the shaft but with slight friction. This is so that once you get the motor seated onto thenplate you can now temporarily install the motor plate and sun gear back into the transmission. ( all your trying to do right now is set the gear to the proper spot-on the shaft) yiu can remove the 3 little gears for this step but do need the plate with the 3 pins for the gears still installed in the transmission. You will have a large washer looking thing . Leave that out of the transmission for now. When have the sungear and the motor plate pushed all the way into the transmission. Carefully pull it back out and trh not to move the pinion gear. Once you have the assembly removed , carefully tap the face of the pinion gear onto the shaft abiut half a mm more toward the body of your motor and then fully tighten your grub screw. If you have not installed your motor screws yet then do so but make sure they are not to long . If they are too long you may damage your motor. Now install your 3 gears if you removed them . Llace the large washer on top of the 3 gears and then install the motor plate into the transmission This can take patience as you will have tonplau with gear alignment on all 3 gears if i recall correctly. Once you get all that installed , you need to install the screws into the top and bottom of the transmission that were first removed. Pro tip... the two threaded screw holes on the front face of the transmission ... after your motor is installed take 2 screws with a washer on each and install those into those two holes. 4mm or 5mm long screws should work ( the goal is to get the washers to tighten io to the facenof the transmission. The washers on each side of the motor plate will help eliminate the side to side play that can happen under normal use ,this play can burn your motors up premature. If this helps you let me know. If you rather watch a video . Give me a couple days and i will record a install video

I want an aluminum ripper in my collection someday, they look awesome. I have heard a lot of great things about mofo rc. Is there anything negative about their products that you have noticed andy?

Nice , can always count on your view and comments 😉

There are a lot of excellent members i. The 506 group. I have been a member going on 2 years now. Jow anout you

Thank you for subscribing and leaving a comment and checking out my channel. The pov footage can be tricky to do at times but it always is worth doing. I am still designing different, what I consider quick mounts for the go pros. The three pov views in this video used a magnetic base, a magnetic base and long arm to extend to the side of the truck and then a clamping mount for the trailer. I try my best to not have any cameras in view of the video recordings wich is very hard to do if the cameras are hard mounted. The side arm needs a bit more work but it is almost perfect. I do want to get a permanent go pro to mount into the cab of this truck but that will take some doing for sure.

Thank you bro

Ilm have to check out your channel for sure, as for where i got the strap kits. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006050177968.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&social_params=21315356103&aff_fcid=ed0c4818d1ef442ebddede35f53170c6-1713209638487-08540-_mMZEh8U&tt=MG&aff_fsk=_mMZEh8U&aff_platform=default&sk=_mMZEh8U&aff_trace_key=ed0c4818d1ef442ebddede35f53170c6-1713209638487-08540-_mMZEh8U&shareId=21315356103&businessType=ProductDetail&platform=AE&terminal_id=3395e4523d0842738fa08daff0003c48&afSmartRedirect=y Abiut 6 bucks each

Unfortunately I tried ordering them from aliexpress , the address bot won't accept my address 😢

Thats really unusual 🤔. Do you have a po box? Not sure why else they would not accept your address.

They're shipping address bot doesn't have all the possible post offices in the town area and my postal code isn't included as well

Jumpins... what rock do you live under ?

I wouldnt spend much higher . Its one thing to loose 15 bucks but a hundred hurts a bit more ...

I just took one of my transmissions apart and the pinion gear is 15 tooth . And comes with the transmission when you purchase these transmissions

@@rccustomcreations thanks bro. i wanted to try to down size my gearing. not sure which DP or mod 17-18T pinion will fit

Its not gojng to be easy to change gear ratios. You can not just change the pinion in these transmissions. The three spider gears that rotate around the sungear would also have to be changed . And depending on witch way you went ( taller or shorter gear ratio) you may also have to reloxate the location pins for the spider gears that are required to turn the main shaft in the transmission. If you figurensomething out that works . Let me know , id be interested in knowing

No offense taken, they are in the plans. Want to create something that looks right and strong .

@@rccustomcreations are you going to do a build video for the trailer at some point

Perhaps this summer, I'll build a second trailer, maybe one slightly smaller. I would design it in such a way that others could build a similar trailer but modify the length to suit their needs.

Thank you so much for subscribing to the channel abd your time viewing my video and leaving a comment. I see your name is rc related so i am gonna check your channel out :)

It measures 9.25 inches wide by 24.25 long

@@rccustomcreations it is one of the best looking trailers I have seen in a while

Very much apreciate your comment. It now has lights wich are not in this video

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mFG4T99rmCM.html

For the price point. You get a great trailer. I am considering converting it to a camper trailer though

If I was asked If I have one regular visitor. I'd ha e to say it was you. Thank you :)

These wheels and rims are beautiful. Its a shame to mark them up really lol... I am currently uploading a trail run video to try and have ready for tomorrow morning . I'm going to see if dropping a new video on fridays works better than saturdays ... i feel like you will enjoy this next video .

Under 2 weeks to get them into canada. I do pay for the express shipping. Not sure if that really makes a big difference in shipping times once it hits canada

Not sure what you mean?

There is lots more woods runs coming in the future.

I'm very surprised with the capabilities of the trx4m. I have a bunch of parts for it but am trying to keep fairly stock for now.

I have plans on getting the pro kit some day. Trying to get the ripper built atm. Drop some pics on the facebook page of your rigs bro. Did you get the decals i sent to you ?

Thank you Andy, its been nice here in new brunswick so i have been dragging trucks outside everyday. Hope to get some content recorded tomorrow

That would be one epic build. Love to see it ;) 😉

Jellous. I want a full m Aljminum ripper but there hard to get now. So many for sale but very expensive

Have you had any issues with the thrasher and do you have the reverse kit on yours. Those look a ton of fun

Thank you very much for tagging along for the ride. There is so much adventure and to explore with these trucks. The time with friends and family is forever cherrished doing things like this together

Do you ever run your rigs there on the trails. We have lots of trails here but, the brook is by far my favorite place to run

You and i both . I got back into the hobby in 2010 lightly, but medic was a big reason why i was coaxed back in lol. I live about 6 hours from him now but often work near whe he lives . Hòpe to bump into him some day and have the opportunity to run some trucks together

I want the black ford body some bad. Myself im a ford guy . Not sure what happened when i sent the wife some christmas ideas. Some how the chevy high trail was sent to her over the ford lol oh well , ill just get another tiny truck some other day lol

I have always wanted to trail this park. After over a year wanting to join with 506 rc enthusiasts for a trail run , i got my chance. Tomorrow night, we will be going back to this spot( if im done work i. Time ) ill try to get more content if i do

Awesome... i apreciated your involvement with my channel, your comments are also highly appreciated. That sucks about the phone. I got to do the same. Looki g at getting the samsung s23 ultra for clearer videos. What phone did you get

If i recall these axles are keyed to only go one way on the axle ( right side up or upside down ) are the hubs too tight. Have you tried to file the edges of the axle housings where the c hubs slip over ? Perhaps there is some burs from machini g. Same goes with the inside openings of the c hubs. If that doesnt seem to be the issue . Are the c hubs just to tight to slip on. If so you may be able to slip the blade of a flat head screw driver in the slit of the clamping part of the c hub. Give the handle of the screw driver a gentle bump with a hammer and hope the blade of the screw driver will spread the clamp open a bit more. Myself i never had issues like that so my input is just what i would be looking at trying for myself if i were in your position

Hahaha , they do make them fairly scale looking now. Thank you for the chuckle 😃.

I have exercised the idea, but i dont think i would do custom orders. More like build one and then sell it as it is sort of deal. I live in a apartment so im not set up in a way to start doing custom orders . And i also feel my pricing be on the high end compared to a store bought unit... without looki g into cost of materials for this one im the video. I feel lik i would have to charge 400 for this one plus shipping

Just thought to ask because I'm looking for a gooseneck or something that would b a deck over for trx4 hightrail k10

I apreciate your interest, but i wouldnt at this time be interested in attempting to build something to that degree. I have never built a goosneck ,and would not feel comfortable sending a first one out to someone without testing for weak points. When i get into a studio ,perhaps ill attempt to build some goosnecks for sale

The shuttle unfortunately is collecting dust atm. 😔 the asking prices for the body used and new is way to much for me to get into that rebuild. Some day i will rebuild it and hang it

@@rccustomcreations yeah i have a shuttle z, its almost not worth restoring it unfortunately but its still a cool piece of rc history

You have quite a collection going. Where are you located. Im in fredericton ,nb. I appreciate the comment and the kind words. Im working on a Meus Ripper atm that is a big deal... all meus components. Hobby wing 1080 g2 for power . Fully lit up. Considering rock lighting as well but we will see about that. That buildnis almost built and ready for dissasembly and build series to begin recording soon.

Thank you brother ;)

Hey bud, the driveshafts are available on aliexpress. The link for each of the drive shafts are posted in the description for the video. If you have any more troubles finding them ,let me know

I order nock off axles, among many other components, all the time. Never have i had an order go so sideways on me in the past. This video would never have happened had the seller not brushed me off in the end. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt when they decided to send replacment parts. I really do wish they would have taken more time the second time around to do quality control. I can handle having to shim a little but like i mentioned in the video, one shaft alone required 5 shims and then a sixth after the video was recorded. I must have 15 shims in Different spots around these 2 axles. If you looked at the cover , there is a arrow pointing to the right side axle stub shaft. That was a issue discovered after i recorded the video and never was brought to the sellers attention. I did brake down and order new stub shafts and will order new portal gears as i figured out the binding issue is releated to defective portal gears. The gears althiugh looked good at first ended up having burs on several gear tooth faces. I now have functional axles but after many hours wich sucks lol. Thats craxy that you have 10 sets total. Makes me wonder how i got such a bad set . Thank you for your comment bud. Hope to see you back in the future :)

Thank you for leaving a comment, i just discovered the song last night and really enjoyed listening to it. Any music i include in my videos is offered on youtube to be used in video shorts . Im sorry if that's not what you meant. If not, can you please re-phrase the second half of your comment ? Thank you 😊

Your welcome. Although the qr code once loaded up is detailed enough to get these built, there are little tricks in this video that i learned on my own. I felt the video would be helpful for some and am glad it is getting used. I do have a second video that shows how to roll these up for storage Please feel free to check it out . Thank you for your comment and interest jn my channel 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iwv25ErVRis.html

Are you able to put in for a refund ?

These chassis come stock with a pan hard bar set up and yes the shock towers are stock . Thank you for checking out my video :) if you have any more questions, dont hesitate to ask :)

I had luck with the lower priced items. The axles i was talking about were literally the first " of any value " item i ordered off of aliexpress. After i made that video, i made a review video on the seller them selves. I still have yet to hear back from the seller, so that being said i took the time to fix what had to be fixed . Spent nearly 10 hours total to get a set of axles that worked. The issues were as follows Missing a ball bearing Poorly machined components Metal files in the housings Defective gear sets ( original one ) Defective gear sets ( replacment ones) Defective portal gears And then the newly discovered issue of a defective axle stub iutput shaft. I would make your claim as soon as possible and dont allow for them to re ship. As in my experience , the timer does not reset to claim your refund if you ask for a re ship. Thank you for your comment and good luck

@@rccustomcreations yeah I will do that then, they do give a fair amount of time to make a claim but when you see them not delivering fairly cheap items, then you don't buy anything that might be expensice due to bad experiences.

Exactly. I wont order a high dollar item off of them anh more. Its a piss off really i first reached out to the seller asking for a refund, but I wanted to if they wanted the item back as bad as it was. Or destroy it and toss it. But get my money back. They decided it was best to send rellacment parts.

Thank you for taking a look into my content and subscription. Yes, these little ratchet straps can be tricky to assemble. Especially the first one. Once you build a couple , they aren't so badanymoree. I say tha, but i still have 2 sets to build from the order i used for this vide, lol. They look great and function good as well. I may try andimproveg mine by lightly sanding the faces andtakinge any burrs off of the edges. Hapoy rcing

Im still blown away with the fcx24 performance, even though the k10 won. The k10 is also way heavier with all of its upgrades. My bet is the fcx24 will become king

I didn't realize you had a youtube channel of your own. I subscribed to your channel this morning. I was trying to figure out a way to send you some stickers from my channel in appreciation for your comments and engagement with the channel. So i i searched for you on facebook. I think i found you on facebook and sent you a pm. If you do have a facebook account, then please check your message requests. I need your mailing address, but I dont want you to post it on here for your protection

There is lots here to work with for sure. I have started mocking up the ripper build, some things have changed on the ripper . My next video gets into details on the changes . Im out visiting family and havent had a chance to check out your content. Do you have any trx4m's ?
