Well I ought to start this. I got everything torn down and the diffs serviced. Diffs back in and I’m building it back up. I will document my process.
Dry fitting the metal servo mount and testing the cheap but insane fan I wired up. I just cut the ESC power wire and spliced it all together. I soldered just a bit and heat shrinked the joins. Even on 6v it moves a ton of air. Not the final mount of course, just using it to examine mounting options motor wire routes.
The KS-3518 servo I put in is a bit taller. Cheap Banggood mount. It had spacers for under the posts but they were not quite thick enough. I used M4 nuts instead, worked great. Refit it for wire routing.
That’s it for now. Put on the shock covers I bought from EBay. They are really simple so my girlfriend will make
Me some for my son’s Kraton EXB.
I already did almost all of the bearings with sealed ones. Need to do the input gears front and rear yet. I will dremel off the switch mount on the side guard too as I turned the ESC sideways and dremeled the ridge off of the mount plate for more clearance and better wire routing.
