[@rcguygarage]

Speaking from DIRECT experience Im betting😜👍💯👊

[@GussCustomCreations]

@@rcguygarage Yes sir. I only order parts if I aboslutely have to. If I can fix it with what I have laying around I would rather do that!

[@tracythomasvision]

Thanks a bunch! Just got my DBXL 2 this month. Had almost the exact same problem with my left CVD.. BROKE the dogbone and the CVD. Looks like the set screw was not 'lock tighted" down. Going over the remaining CVD'S to get everything locked down properly. Thanks!

[@MetzRc84]

Looks like the perfect fix. This is what the hobby is all about. I had to do repairs like this when I was a kid on non hobby grade cars 😂

[@rcguygarage]

Yep just use what you've got till you decide. Keeps you out there!👍💯👊

[@xuimod]

Cracks me up to see normal size wrenches used on an RC car. So used to using tiny tools to work on RC's. Large scale of RCs are a whole nother world.

[@rcguygarage]

Feels better to use NORMAL TOOLS

[@larrywilliams6068]

Great vid my friend , brings back memory’s of fixing both slash trucks. Think I’ll get this for my birthday, get back into the hobby. Keep m coming.

Shade Tree Mechanics... Work with what you got

[@dshow1658]

I’ve locked over and over still comes loose. It needs the pin to thread in and a set screw. But I’m going to try a bit of weld on set screw.

Good work man! Well done :)

Nice video man👏👍 yeah those c.v.d pins walk sometimes then baboom to the ball end. Happened to me a little while ago. By the way check out jim's bearings. They are awesome and get those shielded bearings out of there.😁👍

[@jetblueoo7]

@@rcguygarage I just subscribed!!! How did the hub repair hold up , out there bashing?

[@rcguygarage]

@@jetblueoo7 the hub just finally broke 2 weeks ago on MASSIVE jumps but I didn't expect it to last as long as it did. I just did a video on UPGRADING to Hot Racing hub knuckle bearing carriers and the galvi nail is STILL BEING USED!!!

[@npntube6847]

You should put all the small parts laying around („easy to loose“, I mean dingdong!) into a small box 😇😉

[@rcguygarage]

Yeah but thus was last minute fix. Just started recording no prep.

[@americanfather3090]

That's the noise from the video where you drove it on the street for 11 miles... remember the noise at the end?

[@SebastianLong]

The galvanized nail won't last long. Nails are quite a bit softer than the axle pin. It is better than nothing though for a quick fix. Maybe time for some aluminum steering knuckles?

[@rcguygarage]

Yeah I know it's all I have on hand cause i just wanted to RIP it for a little bit till I figure out what to do. Any suggestions on quality parts other than losi or hot racing?

[@qiangli4022]

So it's all caused by a loose set screw.. Better to loctite all screws I say.

[@TrashCanNinja87]

You need those ddm tools dont get me wrong ball ends have the place but they do strip hardware if not careful. I guess if you do strip a screw we get another video of how its done.

[@leroymckell2580]

time for aluminum upgrades. my axel totally got destroyed where the pin goes thru had to replace the whole axel $38.00

[@rcguygarage]

The only thing I'm concerned with is loss of impact flex. I feel confident that this last impact finished possibly a crack that formed prior. If you've seen my other videos on this RC you'll see I've been hard on it.

[@sickhcivc]

Hey RC Guy, just subbed :D I watched this and thought - damn I dont know what parts / tools / glues etc I need to get started. Im thinking about getting into RC cars, I havent driven one since 1992 so its been awhile. Do you have any videos where you show things to keep around the shop, useful tools, essentials etc? Much appreciated :D

[@rcguygarage]

Not yet but maybe THAT would be a good IDEA though👍💯👊

[@sickhcivc]

@@rcguygarage ah I'd highly appreciate it if you get around to it! Keep up the great content

[@zerrickdracing6784]

I thought they used a pine for those top and bottom

[@michaelmcmenzie6928]

I would have made that pin out of piano were I don't think that galvanized nails going to hold up

[@rcguygarage]

It's actually holding up so far!!!👍💯👊

[@Blueknight1960]

I'm going to bother you again lol. I've ordered the dbxl-e 2.0, it should be here in a couple weeks (We'll see since fedex is the carrier), someone from another video said they had too many problems with it and sold it. Now I understand a lot depends on how it was driven, has this been the case for you or not so much?

[@rcguygarage]

Not so much but people have to understand what this rig is. It's designed to run a big groomed track or sandy dunes. If a link pops it's designed that way to prevent more costly damage elsewhere. ALTHOUGH I've treated mine fairly rough though. I love the Monsta and see no need for it to leave my collection

[@Blueknight1960]

@@rcguygarage Thank you for the reply. Happy new year and happy rc'ing.

[@BlackMetalRC85]

Hi, the nail doesn't work! The nail is not hardened! But the idea is good, you know how to help yourself!

[@rcguygarage]

😂😝🤣😜I know I know . . . The nail isn't permanent it's just to get the RC out there till I figure out exactly what parts to upgrade to👍💯👊 i think i said that in the description maybe i forgot😂😝

[@markclausson564]

You need a hardened steel pin, not a soft nail. I don't think it will hold up.

[@rcguygarage]

The thing is because this is galvanized nail it's holding up better than the hardened steel pin and this thing has been thrashed many times since the repair. The other side is actually running an flm hybrid against the OE with a galvanized nail repair. Certain things that I do might surprise you cause I just do whatever it takes. 😂🤣👍💯👊

[@Blueknight1960]

Instead of just wiping down the parts, why not use spray brake cleaner to get rid of all the grease and dirt.

[@rcguygarage]

Couple of reasons. #1 manual removal first uses less spray. #2 using spray in the shop with rugs and gas fired boiler isn't really good for my particular situation 😂🤣. #3 Depending on the type of plastics they might not like certain solvent cleaners. Normally when not doing a video, all my parts go into my parts cleaner tank in the garage using a solvent that is bought in large quantity. Most RC hobbyists don't have that ability so I just try to show a simple easy safe way that most can do. Maybe😉🤣

[@Blueknight1960]

@@rcguygarage Got cha. lol Still a good idea to at lest rinse off with warm or hot water to get the grit out.

[@rcguygarage]

@@Blueknight1960 yeah but where you getting that HOT water from. I'll tell you that some Significant others do not appreciate seeing 5th scale RC'S in the sink and/or tub . . . . Especially when they're left in there overnight to dry or just point blank FORGOTTEN😉🤣😂😜

[@Blueknight1960]

@@rcguygarage So your only suggestions is to spend lots of money on that special cleaner or just wipe them out? Sorry I can't accept that. There are spray cleaners out there that can be bought and not hurt plastic and it's nothing to step outside to clean the part. I guess I've work on enough greasy things to know there is more than 1 way to clean them without getting blown up or getting yelled at by the wife. Yes I agree that the initial cleaning is a good wipe down, using an old toothbrush is also handy. Not trying to start an argument, but you seem to be very rigid on any cleaning ideas other than your own. Oh by the way, if you have a water hose and access to the water heater, it has a place at the bottom where you can connect a hose and you have hot water outside.

[@rcguygarage]

@@Blueknight1960 jeez thought you asked me? So I gave just my process of why. Plus I added those smile laugh things and comments to keep the conversation light. I'm sure your experience works for whatever you do. Thanks for the input 👍💯👊 I am familiar with water heaters. I've serviced and installed a few in my time😉

[@justiceonly9105]

Hi, Very grateful to you. Did you ever run 2 full battery pack back to back in hot weather without damaging the battery? Thank you

[@rcguygarage]

Yes i have now! No issues

[@stl_scionrcscg4900]

But no lock nut on the last wheel hub

[@keithsnell8000]

dont put oil on these points it will keep the dirt sticking to everything he put oil on.if they were suppost to have oil they would oil at the factory

[@justinnitsuj7041]

39:18 that doesn't seem right....will attract and hold in tiny dust and sand down the plastic even faster AND rough up the metal pivot balls. no way the nail holds; totally diff metals / alloys. pay mind to your audio, the dynamics is stoopid..it's not a marvel action movie I see you have many rc's; have you not noticed that you wear out the links adding an oil lubricant...at least use a powder lube instead....and even then is a waste for outdoor.

[@rcguygarage]

Whelp it all works bud. And the nail holds and was proven but that's cool that it was the "DUMBEST thing ever" done. No I don't notice any additional wear beyond when they need to be replaced normally. But hey it's all good 🤫 it's my stuff so who cares anyway🤏🤣 your right it's not a marvel action movie these are FREAKING TOYS

[@MRBRUSHLESS]

Awesome video amazing fix to the front hub great job thumbs up 👍
