Thanks mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I got new pistons so I could use the piston ends with holes in them attached with c clips

I think I might just have to suck it up and buy another V parts...and not screw it in too hard next time. I've just bought new shafts so don't want to buy anymore!! I've used red o-rings with silicon oil - is that ok or a big no-no?

Can you link to the seals you used please?

I've used silicon oil with red o-rings in my CVA shocks. Is that a mistake? Also has anyone got any experience of my problem in this thread? I'm trying to find alternate ball sockets for the bottom of my CVA shocks. Mine have all bent up

Thanks for the replies everyone but the parts I linked to look identical (just longer) than the ball ends Tamiya use on the TRF shocks. This is what happened to my shock ends. See where the plastic is stressed where it's white

Yep I have the carbon towers and ball connectors. It's the sockets at base of the shocks that are the problem. I want to know if I could use these maybe? https://www.plazajapan.com/4950344548699/

I should have mentioned. I have mine clipped into the carbon shock towers with balls rather than the stepped screws. I assumed they were 5mm. I'll check now.

I need help, the bottom 5mm sockets on my TT-02b shocks keep bending/breaking and I need to find a cheap way of fixing them... I replaced the stock piston with one I could use the piston head (the one with 3 holes) from V parts sprues , replaced the black rubber o-rings with red ones too and the shocks seemed MUCH smoother, but when I came to put the bottom 5mm sockets on I somehow managed to screw them in a bit too far and the bottom part of the connector just cracked and is now at an angle...it's basically just waiting to break. I wondered could I use these?? OPEN FACE ADJUSTERS 5MM BALL CUP SET (LONG) ROD END [TAMIYA] 54869 It feels like my buggy's been out of action for ages... please help!!

That did it! I would never have thought it was something so simple!!! Thanks Willy!

I don't think so but could check. would that do it? I'd just changed the diff to the tt-01 TGS ball one, so it could have happened then... the old kit diff is back in and it's still making the noise now

It's driving me mad and I cant work out where it's coming from!! I've had the back diff out and it still makes it.... I think it's something to do with the propeller shaft at the back vibrating??? Anyone!!!

So this is what's happening I think. Brushless motors with fewer turns don't notice as much as the torque required to rotate the spindle is less,. If you want to avoid it get one of those.

My best guess is that because it's a high torque motor and the it has a permanent magnet in it as it slows it takes a lot of effort from the gears to rotate it... What do you think about the one that has the spindle that moves back and forth? It's come from PJ so I can't really send it back Has anyone taken a Tamiya brushless apart before? Is there a guide anywhere because a quick google has come up blank for me.

Don't worry about what it looks like, that's the noise it was making. Do you think it's worth changing the sensor wire?
