HBX 2997A - 4s Damage Report - Teardown of Front, Center, and Rear Diffs - What was Broken?

[@10scaleperformance]

Busted one on ours the 2nd day we had it, like you, I didn't notice it until I tore the entire front end apart. Kind of glad to have it back, I'm having my brother print 2 more mounts for me so I can go larger than a 19t pinion this time but I'm gonna use the stock motor until it grenades. Great video

[@BriansRCStuff]

Nice! I look forward to seeing how fast you can get it on the 19t or 20t too! I really don't think the stock motor will grenade on 4s unless we really overheat it. Seems solid for a budget motor.

@@BriansRCStuff let's hope, it has been solid so far

[@scaleworksRC]

Easy peasy! Nice work Brian 😎👍

[@BriansRCStuff]

Thanks!

Just finished tearing ours down to the bare chassis. Gonna clean everything, lube everything, repack the front and rear diffs and lock them with silicone earnplugs and put 500k in the center diff. 20t pinion coming up next, should have the motor mounts next Wednesday,gonna use the stock motor again as well.

[@BriansRCStuff]

Come on man, you are making it harder and harder for me to get as fast as you guys. ; ) All kidding aside, great job to both of you! I bought 500k for the center diff but I have been diluting it with 10,000. I was worried 500k would make it wheelie too much but I am still playing with it.

@@BriansRCStuff nah, you will easily beat our top speed, I don't want to try and go any faster than 65mph lol, too hard to drive for this old man!

[@timmy4539]

Have you ever heard that old saying ( speed kills ) ? Lol

[@BriansRCStuff]

It isn't the speed, it is the very abrupt deceleration when you crash into stuff! : )

[@timmy4539]

@BriansRCStuff 🤔 you know what in thinking a out it you might be right ! Lol lol
