Lookin good
Did you actually rebuild the diffs? I have to say, just observing the front and rear diffs from the OUTSIDE, I would've been buying complete new diffs w/housings from JRC!?
Kudos for seeing this thing through, surely a labor of love.
This must be your first time buying a used Arrma RCNo Doubt!
And I've got more to say about the Freaking motor mount screws...!!!! The ones that held it to the chassis and the two top ones for pinion adjustment..
Holy Marry they were tight!! Practically super glued down..
That kid must've had the same problems of trying to unscrew them.
There was a piece of metal wedges in-between one of the top screw and the aluminum frame that I thought was a nail.. it was actually the tip of a needle nose pliers!
Apparently he had tried to man handle the mesh or tried to remove the motor and snapped it clean off.
I had to use a plumber's torch..Finally got all the screws undone..
I Did NOT take any photos or video because I was so Angry & Pissed at having to fight with those damn stubborn screws!!!!!!!
I probably will pick up a complete diff(s) from JennysRC in the future..
But for NOW I'm going to keep it all Stock
(knowing that kid probably wrecked this rig WAY before he actually got to the point of doing any damage to the diffs) ,unless I witness something horrible wrong with them.
Cause I'm planning on enjoying the Sh!t out of this thing ,as he should/would have -IF he just took a bit more care its usage and maintenance.
It is for sure.
Either that or I'm one very hardheaded Stubborn monkey wrencher
.
This must be your first time buying a used Arrma RC
Now I'm intrigued!
His loss your gain brothaMore like Arrma neglect..
Shame!
That kid didn't have the decency to even attempt to repair what damage he caused..
Well, I guess he did take the front arms off , THAT was about it.
Perhaps one look at the bent hinge pin ,taco-ed Ackerman bar ,chewed cup, stretched out end link ,bent drive shaft, snapped screws, and Cracked diff casing..
He just couldn't take it anymore.. Too Much for the kid to handle.

Looks like he rounded out the hex to a pillow ball cupS... By cross threading them into the hub.

What material?
I was working on my build today and I noticed one of my hinge pins was out a little and it brought me back here cause I noticed you made the butt caps .now I'm wondering if I forgot something..I only reamember taking off the red aluminum butt caps off on the front and rear bulk heads when I put in the vortex ones on.i wounder if the hinge pins on the vortex are thicker than the Big rocks.and maybey I slid in the big rocks pins into the vortex bulk heads instead of the vortex ones.why else would the pin be sliding out? Unless I have the butt caps backwards.i only noticed the front right pin out a little like almost 1/4 inch .and I haven't ran it .just rocking it back and forth makes it come out..what do you think Tex?
The hinge pin from the lower control arm .left hand side is out..I noticed a few weeks ago I pushed it back in and didn't think anything of it since I wasn't running it and I have only been pushing it by hand back and forth and it's out again like wtf .
I have to check out my spare parts and see where I put that hinge pin plate.well I suppose when ya have a fewYou're missing the Sway Bar brackets!!
