Notorious One week of bashing

[Clubin]

One week and some broken parts. After 5 charges.

Wing mount lasted one charge I installed RPM wing mount. SOS way better.

Body lasted 4 charges broken both sides into front wheel well.

Bent front cvd I managed to straighten it.

Pillow balls come loose after every run.

But it sure is fun!!

I understand that is a new rig, but you have to start really driving it now. Get the kinks out.
I find that even the new 2019 pillow ball cap nuts with the O-rings still back out and loosen. A drop of shoo goo/E6000 on the threads keeps things from loosening. Threadlocker hasn't worked for me. If you use it too liberally it will deteriorate the pillow ball threads and assembly. TL is acid based and MFR's don't recommend it be used on plastic threads.
Start driving it hard now that you are familiar with your Noto.

Teflon tape fixes that and drop of crazy glue keeps them in the arms... 6 runs later and still in place

Didn't like the Teflon tape. Used that in many other similar scenarios on other rigs. But it didn't work out for me on the pb hubs. Out of the four pb's, one easily cross threaded out due to the Teflon tape. And if you use a single wrap of TT it still loosens.
The 2019 V4 o-ring on the pb nut should be placed midway between the threads not at the top near its end. The o ring is useless where Arrma notched the thread area for this o-ring.

I experimented with putting a drop of rtv gasket maker on the threads and haven't had one back out on me yet.
Probably have 6 or 7 packs on it so far so it's still early

I work on cars, RTV is like E6000 on steroids by comparison. Great fix. I may bump it up to RTV next time. But the E6000/shoo goo has worked for me. PB's haven't budged for countless runs.
