Wow. I know arrma uses ample amounts of red loctite but a torch is super scary. I would reccomend pulling the diff out (about 4 min of you time) before you heat anything up. And even then I wouldn't use a torch. Get a decent soldering iron and heat just the grub screw then remove the out shafts.
Great video, thanks :) but don't forget the motor bearings! they're very important to swap out for sealed ones as they can bind themselves and get stuck, that's gonna cost a new motor. Here are the measurements for the two bearings: 5x16x5 and 5x13x4 I wanted to find out if they come with the bearing kits you can buy, but I don't think they include them in any of them. I'm looking at a set here in Europe and find the same number of bearings in total.
If in deed those cup are steel that much extreme heat will totally fuck that heat treat and make them super brittle!!! From my knife making experience a hair dryer while a bit slower gets the same results without risk to the metal!
I researched and found a sheet of it online, then I cut it into squares. Phrase like crazy so I had to surge the ends and corners. If you’re interested We could probably work something out where ship you one.
James George, Check out the master link in my description, I added an alternative fabric. That’s probably better than what I was showcase in this video. I had to surge the ends of that fabric, which was a pain. The stuff I’m showing you here, will work as well.
Good stuff but blow torch is risky😮I use a soldering iron it’s a bit slow but does the job safely 👍
Going through bearings once a month out here
$5 butane torch lighter works great for me.

Jakob Eriksen ... THX!!
@@EastTactics You're welcome :)
I believe You can't just use any bearings for the motor, they are special ones
Don't use rubber sealed bearings, they must be metal sheilded or they will melt!
You can use a good soldering iron to to heat that up

No... your right! I was way over zealous with my heating solution. ha ha
Where did you get that heat shield fabric,,,,I could sure use it,,,,,,AH. darn loctite! Thanks....

Snow Camo, I added a working alternative to the master link in my description
