XRAY - Model racing cars

hi guys,

i just completed fixing up T3, when i try to input throttle and steer left & right, there are vibrations on the front drive shafts and axles.
i have checked and it seems caused by the dowel pin keeps loosen itself when in rotation.

hope some guys can give advice...
many thanks.

your wheels are turning to much
i use 75% in steer rate
its good for me and ive enough steer rate

Using the pins with the flat spot or filing a flat spot in the normal pins is a good idea too

hi guys...

thanks for the kind replies and advice.
i have applied loctite on the set screws, the chattering still occuring.
or maybe i have to do a test run ?
the vibrations are huge which makes me wonder should i test run it on track...

have a nice day guys..

you guys had been very helpful on the informations.
many thanks once again!

Hi Stargazer, putting loctite on the screws or using flat spot pins does not affect the vibration. The vibration will happen. Using the flat spot pins and applying loctitite will help to prevent the vibration loosening the pin leading to the driveshaft separating from the axle.

Go to the track and enjoy

The only thing that could help you to get rid of that chattering when using standard CVDs would be setting the steering in a way that both front wheels would have the same amount of steering. That would be a very, very bad thing and would end up in almost no steering at all. So no problem with the chattering. Also it just happens when steering more than 50% maybe and the wheels lifted. No problem on track at all.

i have steer rate at 75% and everything is ok
