ARRMA FELONY 6S REAR DIFF SERVICE.... FLUID / SHIMMING SESSION....
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2020
- Hey guy's, in this video I tear down the felony rear diff to drain and refill with 50k fluid to help make the diff a little tighter...To my surprise the felony does not come shimmed externally on the diffs.. So of course I went through the process of shimming it up..
I hope you all enjoy! And we will see ya on the next one... - Розваги
Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to shoot this video and share. There I was balls deep removing all of the wrong screws until I ran across your video lol. Thank you sir 🙏🏾!!
Your very welcome man.. thanks for checking it out and dropping a comment...🙏...
Have fun with that thing..😎
Nice video. I'm replacing diff and input with GP5 and the Horizon Hobby how-to video has camerawork that would make Bigfoot videos blush.
You can't see a damn thing in Horizon's video, pardon my French.
Horizon gets an A for effort, Traxxas aint gonna release a video walking you thru how to customize your ride, but the execution is abysmal.
Your video actually helped, and i could see enough of the car, and your descriptions of what you were doing.
Please note: I'm not slamming your footage.
It's gotta be a b*tch and a half to wrench on things with a camera in the way.
Very helpful video. Thanks a million.
With a few more steps, I'll be running 4 same-sized GRPs on my Felony, and no paying out the ass for rear Hoons that last 2 battery packs.
@@Boogie_the_cat I'm glad the video was useful for you.. i always feel i talk to much during the video's, but the info can be extremely helpful.. looking back on this type of footage, i think an above camera angle would have been much better.. i appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment... 🙏
Are you going to use the kraton hubs and stubs to correct the rear offset?
That gasket didn't fall off you pulled it. 😆
Thanks for this Video. The Shim Came with my felony in a small bag. Im new to dealing with RC Car, i'm more familiar with drones. when i got this car i was like oh hell! what did i get myself into. The shims that came with the arrma is ARA709031, and without this video I'd be lost.
Thanks for the kind words my friend.. I'm glad you found it useful..👍..
🤣🤣🤣🤣, you got yourself into fun brother! You will be addicted in no time..😎
Enjoy that rig! They are a blast.. appreciate you stopping in to check it out and comment..🙏
Great Job !
Thanks
Bobby
Thank you for the kind words, appreciate you stopping in to check it out..✌️
Thanks man for helping me out.
Thank you so much for making this awesome video! I hate tearing into stuff blind and it is really nice to see it done first!
Thank you for watching.. Im glad you found it helpful...👍.. front diff service and shimming video coming soon..✌
Great video
Thank you.. greatly appreciated..
Extremely helpful thank you
I just wanted to say thank you for the tutorial on differentials A.... I’ve been subscribed to your channel for about 8 months or so and I guess it’s the way you talk tech as you’re doin the work that I find relatable to me..... for a guy like me who’s been away from the hobby for a long time..... you’ve become one of a select few that I call my “Yoda” when I need help wrenching on my RCs
Thanks again for what you bring to our hobby.....
☮️~~>>I’m gone~~~”poof”😎
Appreciate you Paul..✌️
Great video 👍 thank you for that. I seriously think I should take into my Felony rear and check the play. That's what wrecked the rear on my 6s Senton, in the end I just replaced everything and also shimmed 2x 0.2s. she's now going a dingdong. So yeah thanks again it's so good to get great guidance.
I'm glad the video is useful for you, I tend to check all my rigs when i get them.. the power these modern electronics put out is just begging to kill gear sets.. I appreciate you stopping in to check it out...👍
Just getting ready to put thicker diff fluid in my infraction figured it was pretty much the same as felony. Good video👍
Thanks for stopping to check it out.. much appreciated...✌️
That was a great detail video man! Nice job. I get home tomorrow from my work trip and I have lots of goodies waiting for me that showed up, I have my DIff locker for the EXB and other stuff I get to play with LOL
Thanks buddy.. appreciate it..
Niiice, that is awsome.. will be good to see the exb out rippin again..👍😎
alden cost Oh yeah I can’t wait to take it and beat the shit out of it at the motocross track LOL
Anymore stuff on the raminator 50cc engine?
love a bit of diff work 😂😂 nice video and instruction 👍
Thanks brother.. hopefully it will help someone in the long run...👍
Great video mate. Will definitely be checking my diff regularly. I just unboxed my felony today and it seems they include a pack of .2 shims now. Still however not on the parts diagram
Congrats on the new rig my friend.. They are a blast..😎.. appreciate you stopping in to check it out... ✌️
My Brother you make that look so ez. I like to review videos on how to before I do any work on my RC’s causes I’m always checking out different ways. But during this video I was trying to see what is brand of your cordless screwdriver or drill you are using. I have one but it is so bulky to the point I don’t use it, and with Arthritis flar up, I need a good one. So do you mind telling me bran is the that you are useing? Thanks
It's a cheapo harbor freight tool.. think its made by bauer?.. I can take a look this evening if you would like
@@camaroboy383 Yes I would like that thanks.
@@andrewap77 I just checked and it is the bauer 4v lithium ion 1/4" screw driver.. 👍.. they are like 18 bucks.. works decent for what it is, better than hauling around big impact drivers...👍
Great video 👌 thanks for the info.
Need to check mine, came with spare shims in the box , looks like probably not spares lol but just not fitted at factory 🤦🏻
Thanks for stopping in to check it out.. appreciate..🙏
Great vid brother. 💯👍🏾
Thank you my friend.. much appreciated.. ✌
Great video! Thank you for showing how the diffs have backlash and that it needs to be tightened, most shoot right past that! Are you making any custom parts for yours? Like a "Daytona" wing or something! Just wondering, this car is definitely cool enough already though. I hope this video gets seen by most people because this is how to do a how to! Thanks.
Thank you very much.. 👍.. I actually have plans to make a tail pan that resembles the 68 camaro.. that pan will mate with the diffuser..👍
@@camaroboy383 I started to ask you about doing the defuser, I said nah, he won't go that far, and of course, you are, that will be EPIC!!!
@@rcpd3157 The cad process has already been started...👍😎... I'm going to try to record the process the best I can..
Cool vid. Curious where you got those Allens. I saw a traxxas set at local hobby shop that came with a 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mm along with 3-4 nut driver adapters and a handle for $80 lol.
The driver tips in the video are mip, pricey, but well worth it.. they are machine ground so they are perfect in size.. they will be the last ones you ever buy if you don't physically snap them.. worth the loot for sure..
I'm not familiar with the Traxxas one's, so can't say how they are..
Appreciate you stopping in to check out the video..👍
@@camaroboy383 thanks man!! I don’t mind investing the cabbage as long as it’s high quality. Keep having fun!
just bough a felon not long ago and it brought shims in a bag with the extra parts but idk if its shimmed or not out the box.
Just did a build along! Shimmy shim shims!
😂😂😂.... Glad it helped you my friend.. 👍..
No shims on the plan of the kraton to but its in the car when you buy it 🤔
good job bro
Thank you sir..🙏
i recently just got my Arrma infraction v2 and mine came with shims in the tool bag and I was curious if I should go ahead and add them to the diffs or not?
Unfortunately You would physically need to pull the diffs down and check the backlash to know for sure...
Hey Alden, so what exact diameter shim did you use I would like to order some for my felony which ships in tomorrow. Super excited and plan to change out diff fluid and do all kinds of mods!
Time stamp 15:15 shows the tekno shims I used..
All the 6s rigs use a 13 x16 shim.. the ones I used were .1mm thick.. but it is always good to have .2 and .1 shims on hand..👍
@@camaroboy383 You know what funny, I just recieved my felony today and first thing i did was open up the rear diff. Looks like mine is a perfect fit maybe the tolerances are a little off on some batches and they fixed it? Also no overheating issue on my first run so far but i wasnt exactly pushing it too hard given this is my first car that does more than 35 mph.
@@preauzalam3483 congrats on the rig brother..😎.. be sure to check the backlash of the diffs after its run a couple times..👍.. enjoy that thing man..
@@camaroboy383 dude just bought you rear bumper on ebay so excited to install it. Also ive been doing speed runs on the stock16t pinion and getting consistent 77.3mph top speeds??? I have a hard time believing it cause everyone else cant get more than 60-65 on stock gearing. Oh i also set the punch ip to 6 and the timing up to 26 not sure if thats enough to make up for 10-15 mph though? I mean i not complaining but i think ive got myself a special felony😁
funny cause mine has never had any diff issues ( ive even thicken up the oil) and mine is so tight without any shims its hard to get it in, literally impossible to get a shim in there tired many sizes and spent a good hour lol
i got mine in 2021 and its orange but it should be the same no..?
Yes, they are all the same diff housings, and diffs... The factory now included them in the box, they did that shortly after the release..
It is quite rare for any arrma diff to NOT require shimming.... Definitely more crucial on the larger tire bashers like the kraton, outcast, but not uncommon at all for any of them to be shimmed...
Really the only time I've seen them tight is if the diff was put in the housing backwards, or there were already shims present in the stack..
When you do the backlash check was there any?
Do you find the rear of the car comes out really easily? Any fix for that?
Yes, unfortunately that is a characteristic of this rig due to the gearing choices in the diffs.. I don't believe they truly thought it all the way through..
If you do the calculations for roll out, the front is slightly over driven.. I believe this is most of the issue with the rear stepping out so easily...
A good majority of felony owners swap out the diffs.. either run both front gear sets, or both rear gear sets... Typically people gravitate towards using 2 front gear sets solely due to achieving the highest top speed out of them.. In the end either will work.. At that point you can run all the same size tire.. But with the felony rear being a different offset some other parts need to be changed to make the rear wheel offset match the wheel wells while using the 42/100 hoons all the way around...
You would need kraton hubs,stub axles and hex's in the rear.. This will step the wheel and tire out enough where it doesn't look crazy when the body is mounted...
You could also avoid the extra kraton parts by using the new proline proxes tire set... I'm not sure they are available quite yet but that would be the best route as far as offset for the rear..
There is also another option for gearing that would cost you no money besides shim's.. you can swap the input gears from front to rear, but this takes some patients and quite a bit of shimming to make happen... I've seen it done successfully, but I've personally never ventured that route..
So the last thing that does help to some degree is adding weight to the rear of the rig, it does help to keep the rear planted a little better..
I hope this helps you in some degree.. I appreciate you stopping in to comment ✌️......
What’s the purpose of shimming the rear differential?
To make them more durable..👍.. more tooth contact spreads the load throughout the face of the tooth reducing stress on the tips of the teeth..
typically when you see a ring (crown) gear or pinion (input) gear that has been damaged you will notice half of several teeth will be broken off..✌
Would this grease work to go around the diff? www.autozone.com/greases-and-gear-oil/wheel-bearing-grease/stp-hi-temp-grease-tub-15oz/561720_0_0
Yes, any grease is sufficient, but the lucas red and tacky hangs on much longer than most conventional grease.. the lucas can be had at any auto parts store as well as what was linked above..👍
Enjoy that rig! They are a blast..😎
Just change the gear man
Whats in the font diff
Factory front fluid is 10k, I'm running 30k now.. I had the front diff video recorded, but never got around to uploading it..👍.. maybe I will soon..👍
@@camaroboy383 ok. So 30. 500. And 50. Hows it run now. Better ?
@@tropicthunderbolt for me it is much better... the 500k center let's the car take advantage of the 7% front overdrive so it helps pull itself out of the drifts/slides..same applies to the front being thicker, more even distribution helping pull the rig along...
The 50k in the rear was a good decision for drifting and straight line passes.. it is more predictable..
The felony is loose in the rear end, so suspension is a huge deal as well.. the rear stays more planted if you adjust the camber for the most tire contact patch... adding weight in the rear of the car helps as well.. 👍
@@camaroboy383 nice. Good to know. Thanks. I'm guna be doing my diffs to. Just kinda needed some input.
@@tropicthunderbolt no problem buddy, let me know how she handles after you mess around with it a bit..👍
