Absima CR3.4 Sherpa : Upgrades - Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Sport (12T) and Metal Gears 

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching. 🤙

Haha, I'll bring it for sure. Need to get out heads together and figure out a cool way to combine the two! 🤙

Quite right, thankfully it seems to run ok, but I guess it might not last as long. 🤙

Thanks, only a few things to go now! 😂🤙

Thank you. It is a great truck, I'm very pleased with it! 🤙

Hi, they are 3d printed. The design is on thingiverse if you have access to a printer.

@@PhilBrindley Found it, Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Robert, that's sound advice, thank you! I've left the plastic spur gear and slipper clutch in place, so hopefully that will save me if it locks up 🤞🤙

Yes the abisma is fitted with a spur gear wich has saved mine and it only cost only £8.50 for a new one

Thank you for watching🤙

Thanks man, much appreciated as always! 🤙

Try this one. Alternatively you can buy the official Absima ones from them or perhaps another online supplier. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002100433247.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2433226c6rY2MJ&algo_pvid=e56dbc6c-a860-49a5-89a6-907c0e3e3fac&algo_exp_id=e56dbc6c-a860-49a5-89a6-907c0e3e3fac-3&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000018740878965%22%7D

There was in the gearbox, but the diffs and the portals both needed doing.

@@PhilBrindley done them but was going todo gearbox but if okay will leave it as big job is it? I got the red pro version in uk full metal gears stock

@@sailingachilles7810 how were the portals and diffs. If dry it might be worth cracking the gearbox open, just to be sure. If they were well greased then the gears probably will be too.

@@PhilBrindley lack of grease there was, just a enough blue grease for a cotton bud in them

Thanks Rich. There are still a few bits I could change 😉😆🤙

Hi, if I'm being totally honest I didn't change it because there wasn't one in the kit that I bought and I did not think to see if one was available. I have not had any issues with the plastic spur gear so far though, so unless it fails I have no intention of replacing it.

@@PhilBrindley ok thanks and would you recommend doing it?

@@predator50260 Honestly, I wouldn't bother unless you are looking to change the gear ratios significantly. Also I think it helps to have a plastic gear in there in case of a lock up somewhere in the drive train, better to strip a plastic gear than burn out other components.

@@PhilBrindley ok thanks for your advice. so i just change intern gear box crown

Hi. You want the slipper to slip when the wheels are bound up, so wheelies are not a clutch issue. I assume that’s in second gear? If it’s too fast you might need to get a smaller pinion gear for the motor.

I kept the stock pinion on its on my friends car I did work for him I’ve got same in my Trx 4 with no issue what’s stock pinion on Sherpa and what would you suggest going to Thanks

@@bentasker2265 the 21t stock motor is equal to about 2000kv, so will need to gear down. Stock pinion is 16t (mod 0.8/32dp). Maybe try 13 or 14t. Or just try 2s if you are running 3s.

@@PhilBrindley will it be ok with same spur gear will they work together

@@bentasker2265 so long as you get the right pitch (0.8mod/32pd) it should be good. Check that there is enough adjustment on the motor mount to be able to move the motor a bit further inward towards the spur so you still get a good mesh. Could also try calming some of the settings on the fusion so the take off and brake force are less aggressive.

Thank you. 😁 🤙

The motor is great, worth it for the price. Bit more speed than the stock one and smoother low end control. I would say the metal gears made no difference other than being louder! Long term I'm sure they will be more robust, but next time I would probably just buy a set and only install them IF the plastic ones broke or wore out. Hope that helps. 🤙

@@PhilBrindley thanks for your reply again great videos and how to do tutorials 👍👍👍

@@vitara1969 anytime, my friend. 🤙

Who's Paul? 😜 Got them from Aliexpress, Search "YK4102Pro" and "12025" 🤙

@@PhilBrindley thanks Phil 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@@MrSlapntickle75 no worries. 🤙

Thanks bud. Was a bit of an epic but lots done in one go, so worth it in the end, I think! 🤙

@@PhilBrindley ye it’s lookin good any ideas what ur next project goin b full kit build m8 n length off video don bothere most m8 👍👍

@@davidhazelden2054 not sure at the minute. Floating a few ideas around, but leaning towards doing a Low CG "Belly Dragger" based off an Element Enduro builders kit. 🤙

Thank you! 🤙

Hi, I wouldn't say it's noticeably different to be honest. Maybe a tiny bit louder, but not so much that it becomes annoying. 🤙

@@PhilBrindley i mušt buy new one from the original ísť just a dust 😭😭

@@misokovalcik7621 definitely go for the metal ones then! Get the metal gear shift insert as well. I didn't but wish I had. Good luck. 🤙

Thanks 😎. I don't think there are any overdrive gears available at present, not that I have seen at least. Would be good to get 10-15% overdrive in the front I think. 🤙

@@PhilBrindley agree sir..

That is a shame, would be a beast with an axe in! 😈🤙

Which part? I got the skid and gears from AliExpress if that's what you mean.

@@PhilBrindley hi, the gears could you put a link up?

@@MrDevo5 No worries. Here you go. 🤙 a.aliexpress.com/_mLADkr9

@@PhilBrindley cool thanks for that

Thank you. 🤙
