Thanks for this, I let my boy take the 1/10 Torment out in the snow and he managed to blow the motor and chew all the gears in the box up. Everything's pretty much the same despite the difference in brand, so now I've got the knowledge - now I'm gonna make *him* do all the work so he learns not to overspin the tires (and maybe learn a little about mechanics on the way).
Awesome video. I acquired a 1990's Hawk Truck and then damaged the differential. Your video most useful in figuring out what parts I needed and how to fix. it.
Good vid. I did this to my stampede front and back. I took out the spider gears and cleaned everything with mineral spirits. But the little blue seals swelled up twice their size so I bought new seals and bearings and new grece.
A little late but I rebuilt my trans using this video and I used the traxxas silicone grease as described in the video but it leaked everywhere leaving my diff dry. I have recently learned that the rustler stock diff isn't sealed so a thin grease or oil will just leak out. It seems a thicker grease like the one used in the video will work a lot better in the rustler diff.
very well done video! I have one question if you can answer it? I think my differential went out, its acting as if the slipper clutch is on loosely. but its tightened down all the way... my car wont move !!! even though the motor and the pinon and the spur gear are all working fine. no teeth are missing :( I just want to try to narrow down the problem, so I don't buy the wrong part.. I will try taking it apart again.. and look at the diff.. thank you ! for an awesome video!
Hi! Thank you for the excellent tutorial! Can the Traxxas 2wd diffs also hold diff oil instead of grease, or will they become leaky messes with oil? I think diffs that can take oil have a paper gasket & little o-rings which I didn't see here. (And those can still be a leaky mess) Thanks again!
Hi - Just back in the Hobby after 20 years... (old RC10 guy)... I have a nearly stock Bandit that I will be club racing in a Hobby stock class Oval... Do you have a video for Hard surface Oval Suspension setup!? Wondering what you would suggest for med/advanced setup for limiters and oil on each corner!? Advise appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
Late to the convo. But my 2wd vxl rustler clutch shaft roll pin keeps falling out of gear. I noticed theres no washer. Is washer needed to keep pin in the gear?? Thanks!
After all the time passed this video still helped me , so thanks. Also I wonder if you can help me, my rustler wont move when I put it down although the motor is spinning , when I left it up ,, only one wheel is spinning.
@preciadoalex123 You're going to need to replace two gears. First you need the metal toothed differential gear. Part #2381. It cost about $6. You'll also need a metal Idle gear part # 3696. That gear cost around $5. The drive gear should be metal. Do the steps I show in the videos and you're good to go.
how do you remove the first gear you removed from the shaft. you have it in your hand at 1:55 i stiped my trani now 3 times and want to replace everything now and i can not remove it i appricate everyones responce
someone please help. i was running my slash vxl today when suddenly it was just slipping, i know for sure it wasnt hex, pinion or spur gear related. and the axles seem ok but the left axle is spinning as strong as the right???? but it will not move with a load
That’s a lot of steps. Started playing with my slash again nmd was wondering if it’s dirty or dry somehow. I stopped using it years ago, it runs, but noticed that if I go neutral, it stops pretty quickly, not sure if it’s bec of the settings
Take the motor off and roll the car and see if it's binding anywhere if no then yes probably from the motor or the ESC telling the motor to drag brake.
@@nb6584 thank you. Will try that approach. I also likely need to calibrate or something, if I try to run slow it's like it doesn't know whether toove or not, kerking basically. Like quick on off on off suxcession
