I broke my 1/7 Crawler, 3s Double E 1/8 Land Rover Upgraded. E101=003

2:30 sounded like my grand dad shifting gears on an old massey ferguson pickup with square cut gears lol

[@gazman15678]

Hi great video. I had the same problem with mine and it was the spur gear the teeth worn down. So I replaced its with a AXIAL metal spur gear 56t part number AX31163 with AX31068 slipper pads and it works like new.

[@TomleyRC]

Fingers crossed that’s the issue. Seems an easy fix 🤞🏻

[@bobkids009]

Hi there .....! My unit came in unexpectedly early on 20th July ......indeed it is an impressive machine with a size that beat others and stand out tall in the crowd ......Already prepared to add some goodies like the Quicrun 1080 80A Esc ( with Program card ) , a sound system, a bigger battery capacity (4200mAh) and a Radiolink RC6GS 6CH Controller...... Thanks for your videos which came in handy in term of modifications and some good advice on how to manage this big baby........Cheers.....!

[@bobkids009]

I have placed an order on 3rd July for this handsome unit and is still waiting for its delivery which is scheduled to be in August......! What a long wait indeed......

[@TomleyRC]

Worth the wait though :)

[@kcira8578]

I know that feeling, lmao I still remember waiting for a spare part from china (Took 22 days). Once it arrived, I replace the broken part and play for like 2 minute and another part broke.

[@TomleyRC]

I'll see what it is, and then see if I can make it stronger

[@kokhowe]

I was eyeing the Double E E102-103, which is a similar version like yours without the rear compartment...but the lack of spare parts is seriously holding me back from buying. Double E really needs to learn from WPL and bring out the spare parts quickly if they want to sell.

[@jonlaird5082]

I'm not 100% positive as I don't own 1 but I heard alot of the parts from traction hobby 1/8 rigs like the founder etc. the parts work on these. I ordered the white pickup version as I like the look of it better and like how it's almost $100 cheaper,lol

[@TomleyRC]

Spares are an issue. But hopefully the gearbox issue is a simple fix

Hi, Just a quick question about your Proline 2.2 Super Swampers - are they the smaller 5.4" (137mm) or the larger XL 5.8 (148mm) versions. Many thanks, Paul

[@TomleyRC]

I'm pretty sure they are the XL's... but the truck is in my lock up, so cant check

[@paulmaxam9937]

@@TomleyRC Many thanks for your reply, I am starting a bespoke build of the pickup version of this crawler that will replicate a specific full size version. It will need to have an exact replica set of 2.2 tyres fitted to match the real vehicle and these are 5.5" in diameter. If you think you fitted the XL Super Swampers which are 5.8 inches tall, I should be ok by adjusting the wheel arches and moving the front bumper forward. Decade Store have now got a lot of spares available online for these crawlers including both bodyshells and a steel rollcage ! Don't leave your orange beast in the lock up too long, I am looking forward to seeing a full run video once you get those stripped axles sorted out ! Double E have released an updated version of the white pickup with steel driveshafts, a removeable front plastic winch which reveals a winch plate for a real scale winch, narrower scale axles and new springs/shocks giving a more realistic stance. They are also just about to release an updated version of your orange beast in grey. I will order one as soon as they are out and modify it straight out of the box. I will fit the SCX10 II 2 speed gearbox as you did and fit a pair of Axial Wraith or similar width axles for reliability. Keep up the great work ! Many thanks Paul

Did you ever figure out what broke on this?

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, had it apart last night. I've taken a tooth off one of the gears, and looks like it's chewed up the little slot that the spline looks into to stop the gear spinning freely on the shaft. To much torque from the 3s lipo and new motor...coupled with the big tires. I've been talking with on of the product reps at Double E...and will send pictures. Although pretty certain the stock ones will be fine.

[@joeowen6121]

Anything aluminum in the drivetrain is no upgrade at all. Go steel. If not, you're just wasting money. Aluminum won't last long enough to justify the cost over stock plastic replacements. I've found good steel drive shafts out there for the same price or slightly more than the aluminum shafts. Just have to shop for them.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah agree... although the alloy shafts should be better than the stock ones.

[@joeowen6121]

@@TomleyRC Yes, they SHOULD be better, but, when you compare dollar spent with the amount of usage time before the part breaks, are they better?

[@carlbModels]

@@joeowen6121 mixed feelings about this. Ali is expensive for what it is, compared to steel. But Ali is a lot lighter and doesn't impact performance like steel does. Eg a steel main driveshaft will reduce top speed and acceleration a lot more than ali. Ok steel is solid and can be cheaper, but you need to literally weigh up the benefits. There's a place for everything, even plastic.

[@joeowen6121]

@@carlbModels any mention of speed when it comes to trail trucks or crawlers, and you're in the wrong category of RC. Can a trail truck or crawler go fast enough to worry about whether a steel drive shaft is adding fractions of a second onto your lap time or "scale ¼-mile" time? Yes. Is it going to preform well enough to compete with an RC designed for that? Not a chance. So, even then, it would be better to have steel because your only chance at winning is if that other car snaps an ali drive shaft and has a DNF.
