Rustler VXL coil pivot

1 Zipper(s)

Driving yesterday after work and noticed no ability to rear wheels when throttle. Tore information technology down and discovered the gyre pin on the Traxxas Shaft Slipper clutch sheared or bankrupt off. Took me iii times of fierce down the tranny to detect the roll pivot. Any of you lot guys have a similar problem? Chosen Traxxas and their customer support is awesome. They sent me a new one but even Traxxas told me that this was a rare problem. My pinion, spur, and all other gears in the gearbox are fine. Just curious if anyone else has encountered a similar problem. Also my slipper clutch was non to tight or to loose and all the other parts in the slipper are good besides. <bridge style="font-size: larger;">Check the pics.

Nice cat :)

Despite the mass manufacturing process, yous volition occasoinally just go a piece of metal that is weaker than some other for one of any number of reasons. Unless it happens again, I shouldn't worry near it.

RE: Rustler VXL coil pivot

hahahaha, I had the same problem, and information technology took me virtually three or four times of tearing down the tranny to figure out what it was. I had bought a slipper rebuild kit, figuring that was the problem crusade that'southward what information technology acts similar, every bit though the slipper is wayyyy too loose. The style I fixed mine was use one of those pins that sits in the hex for the wheels.It needs to exist filed down a flake to fit, and it wasn't the easiest matter to press in place, but its a solid piece of metallic equally opposed to that curl pivot and I believe it volition be way more durable.

oh, and I recollect you need to come join us at the official rustler thread.

RE: Rustler VXL roll pin

RE: Rustler VXL whorl pivot

It's definitely not a rare occurrence to break that pin, and then you might want to check out other options to replace it. I've never broken one, and then I don't accept any sure burn fixes. I'd await at replacing it with music wire, even if yous need to drill the pigsty slightly larger. If y'all tin can do that, you'll never accept any more problems with pins breaking.

RE: Rustler VXL gyre pin

I really did it at piece of work on a what'south called a diamond wheel. I judge you could just use anything that has a fine grit. Its not the easiest thing to practise cause its so pocket-size, but information technology can be done.

RE: Rustler VXL coil pin

Heres how I fixed my ringlet pin. I literally used a 1/xvi inch drill chip. I used the back end of information technology, aka the smooth part the chuck holds onto. Measured about ten mm and bankrupt information technology off in my table vise. I think I will buy a dremel here presently. I tried using my reciprocating saw while the bit was clamped in my tabular array vise at start...lol. That is crazy difficult because you can barely see the fleck in the vise. So then I scored information technology so used pliers to snap it off. For anyone that is curious ane/sixteen inch is approximately 1.6 mm. I believe the hole for the roll pin on the slipper shaft is 1.five mm. Once cut I just hammered information technology in. It does have some doing even so. I wound upwards using my table vise to get the coil pin in the shaft. I had to use the screws that hold the clamp together for a spacer so that it would close the pivot to the shaft. Total brand shift MacGyver. As well, in that location was no filing or sanding required, the curl pivot already sat flush with the elevation of the gear. In retrospect I could have used my more expensive titanium 1/16 bit simply I figured the steel one should suffice. Im sure this volition hold til my new one comes from Traxxas. Of course Sick probably wait til this i breaks before I replace it, tearing the transmission downwards is time consuming. Ive had the truggy for nigh 3 weeks now and I only realized I never checked the slipper before the pin broke. What exercise y'all guys accept your slipper clutch set at? Im i/2 plow from tight but Im not pulling whatever wheelies now. I think Im going to tighten it up a bit. What is a skilful slipper setting for all around use 1/iv plow? 1/eight turn from tight?

RE: Rustler VXL roll pin

Good thought, incertitude that will even suspension on you nowsince its solid and not the rolled pin. pretty much gotta macgyver stuff when your doing stuff out of the norm, and don't have the proper tools around LOL. I do that quite oft, make you utilize your caput. as far as the slipper, I continue mine about 1/four turn from tight.

Heres how I fixed my coil pin. I literally used a 1/16 inch drill bit. I used the dorsum finish of it, aka the smooth function the chuck holds onto. Measured about x mm and bankrupt it off in my table vise. I recall I volition buy a dremel here presently. I tried using my reciprocating saw while the bit was clamped in my table vise at first...lol. That is crazy difficult considering y'all tin can barely run across the bit in the vise. Then then I scored it then used pliers to snap it off. For anyone that is curious 1/sixteen inch is approximately 1.six mm. I believe the pigsty for the gyre pin on the slipper shaft is 1.5 mm. In one case cut I but hammered information technology in. It does have some doing however. I wound up using my table vise to get the roll pivot in the shaft. I had to apply the screws that agree the clamp together for a spacer so that it would close the pin to the shaft. Total make shift MacGyver. Also, there was no filing or sanding required, the roll pin already sat affluent with the height of the gear. In retrospect I could have used my more than expensive titanium 1/xvi bit but I figured the steel one should suffice. Im sure this volition hold til my new one comes from Traxxas. Of course Ill probably look til this one breaks before I supercede information technology, tearing the manual down is time consuming. Ive had the truggy for almost iii weeks at present and I merely realized I never checked the slipper before the pin broke. What practise you guys have your slipper clutch set at? Im 1/2 turn from tight but Im non pulling any wheelies at present. I think Im going to tighten it upward a scrap. What is a good slipper setting for all around use one/4 plough? 1/8 plow from tight?

RE: Rustler VXL roll pin

I'k now at 1/4 turn too. Nonetheless running 16/83 gearing and at 1/2 plough couldn't get a wheelie on pavement. At present is all good.

RE: Rustler VXL roll pin

I have broken three rolled pins between my Rustler and Stampede. My gear up was the end of a small drill bit as described to a higher place. Since going to the solid pivot, I have non been able to break one. I similar the idea of piano wire if I tin can detect some the right diamenter.

RE: Rustler VXL roll pivot

i bankrupt a few myself. it's pretty common despite what traxxas says.

the ane in my rusty, i just took a one/sixteen" cobalt (the metal, not the brand name) drill bit and drilled through just until the tip reached the other side of the shaft. then i used a dremel cutting bicycle to cut the very back off the bit and pressed that in the now more forgiving hole with vice grips. (if you have a better suited tool at the prepare, utilize it... i only had the vice grips handy)

the acme gear slips correct back over this style.

in my slash, i took a 5/64" flake and drilled out the shaft. and so i took a wheel hex pivot, applied a dab of cherry loctite and inserted it into the pigsty. then i took a dremel cutting deejay and widened and deepened the groove in the top gear so it slid dorsum into position over the new pin.

both accept been nigh indestructible under tenshock ability thus far.
