Very nice, clear, well-photographed and to the point video without annoying and loud music or chit-chat! This was very helpful towards installing the high speed pinion/spur gear in our Traxxas 2wd Rustler. Well done and thanks!
@levibenjaminjohn2 жыл бұрын
My Slash (Model: TRA58034-1-HWN) is built in a way that the black piece of plastic that is in between the motor and pinion gear cant spin, but there's no jiggle [7:14] so I can't tell whether Traxxas changed something in the past several years, or if I did something wrong. Either way, it's not the maker of this video's fault, because this video was made in 2016, and it still showed me how to install the spur and pinion gear. Thank you for this video!

Just posting my experience in case it helps anybody. I got my slash in July 2021 and it comes pre-installed with a plastic piece that keeps the motor positioned perfectly for the installed pinion gear. You will need to unscrew the motor and take that out if you are changing the pinion gear size. I think that piece is new so older videos won't mention it but if you have a current product that should help.

Hmm usually I take advice from you but I think you're supposed to use a 1/16 inch hex to tighten your pinion. I used to use a 1.5mm but over time, the little grub screw got stripped but luckily, it wouldn't tighten all the way because the pinion kept falling off on the track. I went in to the hobby shop and asked the guy what was wrong and he told me that you only use a 1/16 inch hex driver for pinion grub screws and I bought a new pinion and a 1/16 inch hex and have not had any problems since!

Use a 1/16 inch Allen, the 1.5 is too small. There is tons of locktight on the grub screw but it will come lose. Also new models are pre-set for the 23 tooth pinion and you have to dremel out the plastic at the gear mount to use the supplied 28 tooth pinion. Just went through it. 23 tooth is good enough though, slash tends to sail at high speeds. 3s 90c constant lipo is insane! 45 mph wheelies!

there is one other trick not mentioned here to remove a stripped set screw, left hand drill bits, they are just like regular drill bits only go the opposite direction. if you spin a left hand drill bit slow once it takes hold it will usually spin the set screw out just like an easy-out/screw extractor would. left hand drill bits can be real life savors for removing all kinds of stripped screws and bolts.....

@Michael Frost Your lack of punctuation, and the lack of being able to correctly spell one of the easiest words in the english dictionary, that very word being "You." The fact that you are unable to spell something so incredibly simple is so utterly pathetic, that i want to vomit, as most learn how to say and spell that word at the very young age of 2. Most likely, and very luckily, you do know how to spell it, but due to you being so lazy that you can't even bear waiting 1 second to type just 3 letters, you decided to take a "shortcut" and simply type "U" which is indeed, the most repulsive form of impatience and laziness that has been seen by even god himself... Anyways, have an incredible day. As nobody on this earth deserves to be insulted that harshly. Please be safe during this pandemic and practice social distancing. Have a great day...

It's on-purpose. If something goes badly, and the spur gear strips, then it's 5 minutes and a couple of dollars to fix it. If the gears were all metal, the force that stripped the plastic gear would be transmitted somewhere else....like the motor. The motor is designed to make lots of torque, but it is not designed to have to push up against something that won't move (it's not a power-drill with crazy gear reduction). If something goes awry with your transmitter, and the model hits an immovable object and the throttle is sticking, you will either destroy your motor ($200), or your spur gear ($3-5). Which would you rather replace? P.S. the hypothetical situation of your transmitter malfunctioning is only one quick example, and it actually happened to me! I was a noob and tried to switch the throttle/brake bias from 50/50 to 70/30 on the transmitter while driving....little did I know, that makes the truck think I'm hitting 20% more throttle than I am, even when I let off completely....in hindsight, that is obvious, but at the time I did not think I had to reprogram my ESC to make the switch (but you do!)

If its still stuck, try taking a really small flat head screw driver, make sure its a little bit wider than the hex hole, but not wider than the screw its self. brace the spur on something hard and use a hammer to tap the screw driver in the screw slightly, it should unscrew pretty easy. just gotta make sure you have a replacement screw lol
