WPL RC Metal Axle Steel Gears Binding Solution - CRITICAL UPDATE!

Ғылым және технология

Update as at 19th March 2022 - Steel version will be phased out as it can't be made to our standard, Brass will be remained for now which I prefer as it's easier to break in.

    You really need to use washers with a smaller outer diameter on that input shaft, the ones you used looked as if they will be running on the outer ring of the bearing, they should only be touching the inner ring which is what rotates with the shaft. The larger washers will just be producing friction against the bearing outer and/or the spur gear, they will wear out quickly and jam the axle with swarf.

    yes that's why better to use the shims from WPL RC. in high speed application, using that M3 washer will cause high high heat.

    The front brass gear on the axle, it's grub screw, even with locktite, keeps working free on me. I need a video with a real in depth view of how to get that gear set perfectly. It's so hard to keep a front end tight with all the flex and steering additions to wear and vibration. But, if anyone knows a surefire way to stop that front brass gear from loosening without using apoxy or jbweld, I'd greatly appreciate it. Video was very informative for the rear axle. And loving what WPL has brought to the RC world. I always felt 1/10th scale was too big for crawling, but these WPLs creations are definitely making a mark, and people are noticing. Look at Amazon. WPL is blowing up on there! Anyway, thanks again for the awesome video! 🖖

    Hi Captain. Hmm i think the key is using a good hex driver instead of the L shape allen key that comes with it. Drip a small amount of the blue loctite around the grub screw, and lock it in. So far it didn't go loose on me. But once you have tighten it, leave it and let it dry. If you unscrew it after it has dried, you need to apply loctite again.

    I ended up putting the washers between the differential housing and the drive shaft, that eliminated the play back and forth in that area and greatly increased the amount of pressure it could handle without binding. Check out "hobbywing 1080 wpl c24" the sacrosanct making videos together

    Hi Ed, Have you noticed the input shaft bearing/bushing wear allows the shaft to get an angle that can cause binding and eventually snap the input shaft under load? *Edit. You mention it at 5:20

    You can get 'real crazy' and use a paint remover on the pumpkin {differential} covers. I use an aerosol type that I spray on, wait 5-15 minutes and the paint bubbles off. That way the metal tolerances and proper fit are restored to the cover since the red paint is thickly applied.
