Typhon Mugen B0766 shimset - perfect wheel wobble fix

[Neelis]

I was looking into fixing the wheel wobble of my Typhon 3S, found some videos on YouTube, but that did not give me any satisfying results.

Started to look into the problem and possible fixes myself.

On my Typhon there is space between the outer bearing and the wheel hex, is about 0.2mm, using a feelergauge to check that.

If you would find 6x8 washer with a thickness range of 0.1 to 0.3mm I would have a perfect fix for the wheel wobble and what I found was the Mugen B0766 shim set. 6x8mm in thicknesses of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3mm, 10 of each thickness. Happy days.

I started with a 0.3mm shim between the bearing and the wheel hex and I could slide the pin back in with ease. Added a 0.1mm washer and I had to force to pin in.
0.3mm it is.

Went around the car, 2x 0.2mm and 2x 0.3mm did the trick and the wheel wobble was minimalized and the bearings run smoothly.
Again, happy days.

0.3 shim in place

Hope this helps other to get rid of the wheel wobble.

Maybe worth a sticky?

I had to look up feeler gauge, I thought it was a joke about using your finger as a feeler to guesstimate the measurement lol

Yep, just sand or lathe turn down the back of the wheel hex works if they're too tight for the tolerances in the stub to hub

M2c has a couple of kits put together now, specially for that,...Mike

Just an FYI.... It all depends on the shim kit needed if kids have passed through!!!! Mike

I usually use a fist when sussing out a mate I can breed all night.

Are you sure they are for the 3s line? The shimset they have is 8x12mm. I am using 6x8mm.

A Typhon Mega that I converted to 3s with a Hobbywing Max10 ESC and 3660 3200kv motor. Added the big wheels recently.

Got ya, I'm not familiar with the 3s line up... looks like the m2c are only for the 6s.. Mike

Interesting that the mega share the same cvd axles as the 3s line. Unless you put them in from the 3s to your mega

Axles on the Mega and 3s are the same.
