57409 LUNCHBOX MINI SW-01

Recommended Posts

I ordered some 10 & 12mm standoffs for a couple of quid. Kit hex pictured at the back, with the holes in.

The kit hex is 12mm long. I will need to use a washer/shim under the new hex to stop it rubbing on the hub, decided to use the 10mm long standoff not the 12mm.

The pin will need filing down a bit so I can leave a bit of plastic round the outside to keep it in.

The standoff will need drilling out another +/- 1mm to fit the axle.

Sorted! Drilled 6mm halfway in to the 10mm standoff so it slid on the truncated axle then Dremeled out a channel for the pin. Plus no washer/shim needed as the rounded end of the standoff fits nicely against the bearing without rubbing the hub.

Hi built a Mudmad with my son all okay but now there is no torque to the rear wheels. I thought oh I should have bought the expensive diffs but after removing the rear it seems fine I am a little confused to say the least any suggestions?

The driveshaft on rear wheels is loose. 

You need to glue the metal and plastic parts together because the grub screw doesn't hold it..

The Tamiya hop up cross pin part tells you to glue this part anyway.
