Sworkz S14-3 (Dirt) 1/10th 4x4 buggy

[@peachkracka]

Tip I got from Joe Bornhorst: Use nitro clutch bell shims on the diff pinions to push them closer to the diff and the car will be much more quiet.

[@billdelong]

are you referring to the planetary gears inside each of the 3 diffs? Which gear, the larger "Sun" gears or the smaller "Planet" gears?

[@peachkracka]

@@billdelong Not the internal spider gears or the ring “sun” gear, the pinion gear that attaches to the center shaft.

[@billdelong]

@@peachkracka Ah I see what you mean, normally I place regular shims between the bearing and the pinion to close the gap on the ring gear, what is different about a clutch bell shim, does it have a spring load effect to it? I also apply a thin coat of white lithium grease on these gears which also make it more quiet and help take up some of the slop.

[@peachkracka]

@@billdelong the clutch bell shim is the shims I had that fit.

[@billdelong]

@@peachkracka got it, thanks! you made it sound like clutch bell shims were something different than an ordinary shim, ha!

Looks really good

Ya so far.. 1/10 scale is tuff

[@billdelong]

I currently race a PR 401R and really like the platform will all the aluminum bits, I see a lot of similarities with the S14, since you have a PR too, have taken the chance to compare parts to see if the aluminum C hubs and spindles are compatible?

Great video, it's fun to watch you guys. What is the best choice for durability and ride, regardless of price in 1/10 in your opinion? .....S14-3.....st4 2.0.....PRSB 401RT.....

[@stonejss727]

My pr truggy is very nice especially for the price…but if sworkz made a 1/10 truggy I’d get that instead… I now have a sworkz 1/8 buggy, 1/8 truggy, and now the 1/10 buggy… I love their kits…I’ve never broke one thing on either of my 1/8th scale kits and that’s with over thirty packs through both of them. On my s14-3 I’ve broke a couple things… I’d recommend aluminum rear hubs, but that goes for any 1/10th kit…overall the s14-3 would be my choice over anything else out there… rc1-racing has sworkz and now beach rc has sworkz too…

Hi, have you tried larger pinion gears? I tried 27 and the adjustment of the motor is maxed out.
