Big Rock Old school Nero

[Mboss]

Any thoughts on how I screwed up my spur...

and yeah, my Nero is the orphan I just gotta love ?

Sheesh! I had to hammer the center brass piece into place. Is that normal?

You have to back out slipper clutch screw 1/2 or 3/4 turn...cant remember but look at manual

 

[Cheez]

Pretty sure I did.

 

[Monster-Crawler]

Just follow the instructions in the manual and you should be fine. You won't know until it's back together again and running.

 

[Cheez]

So upon closer examination, I think I rebuilt it without the shim #ar709037, notice the scratches on the brace? They aren’t deep...but still. Would this cause catastrophic failure? I have a stock pinion and I’m tempted to put it on. Should I wait for the Tekno ? Was supposed to be here yesterday, now USPS tracking says Monday.

Figure out what happened to the spur gear? Got me curious

 

[Monster-Crawler]

That could of been the cause, but it's a pretty thin aluminum shim/washer. Like I've stated, as long as you follow the instruction manual, you should be ok.

 

[Cheez]

Agreed, but that .5 mm is just enough keep it from contacting the brace.
C’mon man, starting to sound like my wife ,”read the directions “?
It’ll be interesting to see if a 50 cents part was the cause of this grief.

 

[Monster-Crawler]

Haha! Yup, listen to your wife and read those directions bro. Hope you get it going again.

How about your Nero MBoss? Still running good?

 

[Cheez]

Woo hoo!

 

[Cheez]

Just so there’s no doubt... I cranked that slipper nut until it would go no more then backed off 270 degrees. New Tekno in place.

 

[Cheez]

Mesh

Well that’s it. Gonna put it back together and let the loctite set overnight.

 

[Cheez]

Back together

Are parts easy to get for the Nero?

The diff brain and radio box are hard to come by

 

[Cheez]

Yep diff brain discontinued.
Bench test low rpm no wheels and the two diff servos I have are working.
Actually I did have a slip of the trigger finger

 

[Cheez]

Is that going to be a problem?

 

[Arrma Addict]

If you are referring to the wires routed next to the shock, it hasn't caused a problem with my Big Rock or Fazon.......yet

 

[Cheez]

Okay, thanks! Time to reboot

 

[Arrma Addict]

Okay, thanks! Time to reboot

Sorry it HASN'T caused any problems (edited previous post)

 

[Cheez]

Gotcha.

ITS ALIVE!!

Took it out for a blast today. All seems well, wheelies no problem, drifting no problem. Only issue is zero brakes ? I have to apply full reverse to slow it down and stop. I had to be very careful about where I gave it full speed (damn thing hauls ass!) gonna have to check ESC.

Awesome! It's a great feeling when the pieces are all back together. I had some goofyness with my throttle and break not to long ago. Hope it's an easy fix for you as mine was, fresh batteries.

Happy bashing.
