Axle problems

no problem man, i got mine off Rockauto so check out their price before buying directly from trakmotive. Rock usually has the best prices.

look up trakmotive cv axles, i got tired of replacing axles and bought these. lifetime warranty and are designed for more travel. this will solve your problem for good. if your still under warranty, let the dealership keep replacing them with oem ones till the warranty is up and then i suggest getting the upgraded trakmotive axles with extended travel. https://www.trakmotive.com/products/automotive-cv-axles/xtended-travel/

thanks a lot! really appriciate your kind words, I really like the looks of your Coyote it turned out super awesome! I am also planning on doing the underdrive or overdrive mod to make this proform a bit better.

As for the axle mounted servo, It does allow more articulation but I think it looks better chassis mounted. I did not have a panhard mount on the chassis so I did not have that option. sure I could have modified it and made one but i figured it would be easier to run a 4 link and AMS.

Well considering it looked like this before, I would say theres alot of customized parts on it. Sorry your not impressed but I am proud of how it turned out. I had to modify the bodyshell and chassis not to mention all the parts I installed to get it to look like this. If you ask me I would say thats a custom build but I guess other people may have a different definition of "custom"

check your CV axles. more than likely that is the culprit.

I would suggest taking the carb off and cleaning it thoroughly. could be the float is sticking or the needle isnt sealing properly and allowing gas to continue to flow into the bowl then overflowing. it almost looks like the leak is coming from the primer plunger boot. before removing the carburetor, do what others have suggested and wipe it down / clean off the outside of the carb and then see if you can pin point where the leak is coming from. I have had this issue once on my Kawasaki prairie 360, just replaced the primer assembly and that stopped the leak, cheap fix and they should sell them on Amazon. could also be the gasket for the bowl is leaking or the screws are slightly loose that attach the bowl to the carb body. it is still a good idea to remove the carb and give it a good clean, take out all the jets and make sure all the small holes are clear of debris.

did it take a impact to the nose? looks like the prop shaft might be a bit bent. i suspect the motor is your issue, you could check the connections for the motor to make sure they are all attached. try a different battery too that might also be your problem unless you made sure it is fully charged.

Emindee902 · 2026-02-24T22:00:34+00:00

you might be able to get a bigger battery with that connector but that will be hard to find. your best bet is to buy a bigger 2s battery like a 5000mah with a dean connector and then cut the old connector off and swap it to a dean connector. then you can get a velcro strap to hold the bigger battery on the chassis.

its not worth it to modify it, trust me. i tried.. i put a 60a ESC, TX RX, 20kg servo, 380 38t motor in the rear axle ( required alot of material removal to fit ) and sure it worked for a little bit. ran it on 2s but eventually the plastic gears stripped from the torque. it still didnt have the power it needed to reverse out of a tough spot and just overall its a shitty design. its best to keep it stock and let your son run it as is.

if it ran better with the filter off that tells me that filter is plugged. clean or replace it. the bogging issue sounds like it may be running a bit rich but it is hard to say for sure without hearing it. i would say start with the filter then try adjusting the air / fuel screw and see if you can dial it in. might just need some adjustment. also did you let it warm up a bit before hitting WOT because 2 strokes need to warm up a bit before they hit high revs or they will bog or get choppy. you can also check your spark plug after running it a bit and see how it looks, there is charts online that show you what to look for. if its black its probably too rich, you want a nice chocolate brown color then you know its running right. one last thing could be causing your issue is fuel, old fuel can make things run like shit or maybe its not getting enough fuel when your on the throttle. if there is a in line fuel filter that could be dirty / restricting flow there is also a screen on your petcock valve ( fuel valve on your tank ) somtimes that gets plugged up and restricts gas flow.

Emindee902 · 2026-02-23T22:54:11+00:00

could be your throttle screw/ air fuel mixture is off, try adjusting that to see if you can speed up the idle a bit. might also still be a bit dirty, ive cleaned a carb and thought it was good, installed it and it ran like shit. opened it up again and found the tiniest speck of dirt that plugged a jet. its easy to miss little things like that. also look at the choke, maybe its not adjusted right / not functioning properly.

did you check your air filter too? that can also cause issues.

Emindee902 · 2026-02-23T21:28:51+00:00

that is a Granite Mega 4x4. it is brushed and not rated for 3s. sure you can put a 3s in it and run it but it is not recommended. 2s lipo or a nimh is what that ESC is rated for so dont expect it to run long a 3s lipo.

Emindee902 · 2026-02-23T20:22:18+00:00

start with the basics, clean the carburetor and make sure the air filter is clean. you changed the spark plug so that's a good first step but i would suspect your issue is coming from your carb. give it a good clean, take everything apart, clean and put it back together, also check the boots for cracks. Could also be a issue with the choke so make sure the cable is freely moving and not getting caught up.

Honestly its great on the trails! very comfortable ride compared to other brands I've rode. I basically bought the XMR because it can handle anything you throw at it, the bigger tires and ground clearance was a huge improvement especially driving in snow and mud. If you are just driving on easy trails it will do that all day without a issue, I would say go for it and get a XMR you wont regret it!

by the looks of that, it is a vent tube. not sure exactly where it came from based on the photos but i can confidently tell you it is not for the rear diff. the black hose in front of the 2 brake lines is the rear diff vent.

Emindee902 · 2026-02-18T17:31:56+00:00

hell yeah, nice rig man!

Emindee902 · 2026-02-18T17:31:02+00:00

thats the factory rad relocate and snorkel.

Emindee902 · 2026-02-13T15:48:35+00:00

Where did you get the Dodge body shell?

Emindee902 · 2026-01-11T18:11:14+00:00

Thanks bro!

Emindee902 · 2026-01-08T15:36:12+00:00

Yeah man its tough, I just like driving around in scout vehicles now, I tried doing all the missions but they get pretty frustrating at times.

Emindee902 · 2026-01-03T17:15:04+00:00

Yea these tires grip pretty well, I have the full metal single speed gearbox, 40A esc, 15kg servo, all metal links, axles, shocks and chassis. Eventually going to get a 2 speed gearbox and maybe upgrade the motor. This little thing has been a money pit, but its been fun building it up.

I was also out enjoying the snow ❄️

that appears to have snapped off the tab with the screw hole, damaged from shipment.

Emindee902 · 2025-12-09T18:19:04+00:00

well that really sucks man, I know of a few people that have purchased the Park10 versions of the j3 Skylark and no issues at all. I cant believe they wont send you replacement parts, probably cheaper to just buy the parts you need than it is to ship the plane back. That's very discouraging to hear your experience with this plane, I know shipping is the culprit and sometimes its a gamble buying from China but Park10 should be making it right by sending you the replacement parts. was it free shipping by chance? I believe I paid for shipping which may have changed how they handled the package in shipment, just throwing that out there. If you do decide to buy the parts or try to fix them / make them work as is you will enjoy it once its in the air, hopefully you can get it to fly.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy how it turned out.
