XRAY - Model racing cars

last night I took mt nt18 appart because the season hav ended.

I found a gooa amount of wear on some parts, and some have to be replaced be4 next season. here goes:

engine: piston sleve worn out almost (i´m gona replae the hole engine)
center shaft: worn in both ends, almost round( maby xray can make one in a different alloy or carbon
brake parts: fredos and activation rod(act rod almost worn ? way thrug)
upper front a arms: outer ball almostworn to point were it will fallout.
bottom plate: just worn out(normal wear)
servo´s: both servos have alot of play in the out putshaft
clutch & springs: worn compleatly down


thats if have you got the same exp.?

otherwise it have been the bedst nitro car I have raced for a season, the only thing that have been breaking down this season in one set of clutchsprings.

very good job xray. keep it up

All the consumeable items you pointed out were replaced plus these:

Frt & rear pinion gears/shafts
Frt one-way output shafts
Adjustable ball diffs disassembled and maintenane done.
Replaced all bearing needed

Sevos were changed from the beginning. Xray stock servos didnt last after break-in. Hitec 85MG/BB/HT/HS were installed. Differance, they have Ball Bearing on te output shafts.

Only one other mod was done. Adding a 6 cell NiMh AAA Battery pack was added.

Been lucky with the Toki engine. After 5 1/2 gallons of fuel. It's still running strong. W/good compression. Waiting for it to wear out.

Nickle Plated Pivot Balls were installed 1 1/2 gallons ago. to early to say. I think thet will last as long as the model

ofcourse the bearings needs to be replaced

the nickel coated pivoballs have been installed since my lhs got them.
but the upper arms have realy worn any way

'A' arm, was it in the rear, it wore out??? It took me a while to free up the bind to had. The rear doesnt move as much as the frt does. Same with the M18 I just assembled. I t does move as much. I'll let you know when I find out.
