Ebay find of a 2WD RC Racing Buggy

Its taken me a while but eventually I find a 1/10th scale RC that's almost ready to race for Vintage RC events! How good is it?

Seems a nicely built Cougar for a fair price. Also properly wired and soldered up and built with hex screws which is always better than the standard hardware.

All looks good and just need to find some vintage races to enter!!

Great Pick up. Never run a schumaker they look fun.. New sub keep up the vids and keeper rippin brother..

[@RCadventuresUK]

Hey, thanks for the sub! It’s been a nice little buggy to run.

As mentioned, gear mesh sounds a tad tight, for the price you got a good deal, ballraced steering aswell. Not an essential mod, but hard to find most of the time as its out of stock. And looks to have the pro transmission fitted. If its built right you will hardly need to touch it. The wheels i think are JC racing products, not j concepts ?

Hey RLrc, thanks for the info. I think I’ve solved the gear mesh issue but great to get some ideas and support. Trying to document my ‘adventure’ in RC has been a steep learning curve and I have this insatiable appetite to take on too many different areas of the hobby at once😬

@@RCadventuresUK haha i know what you mean, its easy to dive off here there and everywhere. Im stucking to vintage 1/10. But may have a go with something modern one day 👍

There is something wrong with your transmission.Check the space between the pinion and the spur gear.

[@RCadventuresUK]

Thanks, interestingly I had the buggy out for a really short run on the street yesterday after calibrating the ESC and thought the same. I’ll try and do some investigating today!!

@@RCadventuresUK You are welcome.

Adjusted the pinion gear today, sounds better but still not quite right. I need to spend a bit more time with it!

[@theodorathanasiadis6629]

@@RCadventuresUK 1)1/3 of pinion gear should engage spur,use a paper between. 2) check orizontal displacement meaning the pinion with gear should mesh in maximum surface. 3) Check if your pinion gear is worn(thinner teeth and color from teeth absent. If you check all these and there is still noise means that you have problems inside differential which is less probable.
