DEX210 V2 fault/issue
Hi All,
I am not sure what is wrong with my Dex210v2 but I took it to Mendip today for its maiden run and only managed half a lap I recently changed the spur to a 78 with a 28 pinion and am running a trackstar 13.5T Brushless with Trackstar 120A Turbo ESC currently in blinky mode whilst I learn to drive The problem I have is the left rear wheel and arm raises up when I turn the wheels by hand or run the car on the stand. It seems to have a "stiff" point in the drive Has anyone experienced this??? Today this resulted in my car stood still aftr half a lap in a cloud of smoke and refusing to work Any help would be very much appreciated Graeme |

Hi
could be a few things, but first, is the drive shaft located properly in the outdrive (end nearest the gearbox) ?

HI,
Yes it seems to be. Although this does seem to be a point of sticking. The ball end itself seems to get stuck at a certain point of rotation. Any suggestions |

With the pinion removed does the car move freely

Hi Graeme
From your description there is obviously a build issue with the car. The fact that you have toasted the speedo the drive train is binding so you need to work through it with the manual to find what is not the right way around. Remove the rear wheels & shocks. Remove the pinion & with the car on a block/stand rotate the spur by hand & then work back from there. Is the gearbox assembled correctly? Are the drive shafts locating correctly? Are the rear hubs assembled correctly? Left on left, right on right, correct toe in & so on. We are racing next Sunday if you are stuck m sure we will be able to help. |

Thanks guys,
It seems to be the ball joint/drive cup. The ball joint sticks on part of the roation I have stripped the car down this afternoon and the gearbox turns nicely by hand as it did before. I took my time with the build and followed some good online video tips for the ball diff etc All of the drivetrain turns nicely by hand. Once pinion attached it is a little firmer but its the rear left driveshaft that "sticks" part way round. I have run the car this afternoon at home in the street and all electrics are still alive and well ! Goes like a rocket now I have sprayed a little GT85 in the drive cup/ball joint which seems to have helped (it hasn't, see update below) An odd thing to come across early on I may pop down next weekend Paul to say Hi anyway Graeme Last edited by G2510; 15-03-2015 at 08:06 PM. |
