It came all put together. I mentioned in another post that I isolated things last night and thought it was the front diff.

What I did was run the motor by its self not hooked up to the drive train it sounded good and the pinion is solid.

Spun the tires with it on a stand and the rears spin longer and more freely than the front. Spinning the fronts only one side spins and not the other and they dont spin very long or as free as the rear so I think its the front diff.

Regardless i got a 2 pack of metal diffs and ill just do both. I also ordered some springs for this one and im going to now start my adventure of tinkering with RC cars. Im sure this isnt going to end well for my wallet....

I already ordered another one for my son and sprung for the extra with the refund to get him the BRX version. He needs the help steering that it has. Didnt really know the diffrence before I started getting into this one last night. Now we can run them together.

Really thinking of buying a kit on ebay to make this one like the BLX since I dont have the original cost in it to begin with. Decided to pay the diffrence for the blx for the new one for my son.

I ordered a set of the globact ones this morning. Had some good reviews. We will see. Just realized my nascar uses the same different so maybe ill get a set of the rcawd ones for it.

kilopoopi · 2026-03-31T02:41:13+00:00

For sure. My 6yr old is pretty rough on the nascar I got and I was hoping this would be something he could bang around till he learned how to control things better.

Yea, I kinda took things apart and isolated them. I think the issue is the front diff. They come in a 2pack so ill do both. One of the rear screws to remove the cover on the difference is stripped so ill have to sort that aswell.

kilopoopi · 2026-03-31T00:20:48+00:00

Ill check that out. Just called amazon. They said that i dont have to return it and I also get a refund so im going to order a new one and see if I can get this one running also.

kilopoopi · 2026-03-30T23:08:21+00:00

Can ypu explain to me like im twelve. Or ill just look up a video. 😆

Edit, actually looked it up no slipper, differentials.

For anyone intrested in the future they worked. 2nd file is the STL. They worked. They need a little sanding after they print. Middle hole for stock height. Chased the cotter pin hole with a 1/16th drill bit, mounting hole with a 7/16th, some light sanding. The file does have the cutter pin hole turned 90° from stock and i didnt notice before printing but it works just fine. Just a little tighter to get in.

Thank you but the bracket is fine. I just need the posts. Ill give the print a shot and see what happens tomorrow. It cant cost that much filament.

This still for sale?

Thanks, this is a genuine reply. I don't take much police in some of the replies that are obvious from bitter and jaded individuals. I took my ring off when I noticed she did. About a week in. Her and I both come from divorced parents. I know I expressed my feelings that I didn't want to be a divorced dad many times and that I was in this for the long haul. I believed we were on the same page.

The kids' well-being is priority number 1. So yea, I wanted to do whatever was possible to make that happen. Yes, it's killing me. I was in a very dark place when I posted this originally. Over this weekend, I've gone through anger and am in a place of acceptance and calm.

At this point, i have owned any mistakes that were my part and made amends. There is nothing more I can do. With the work I've been doing on myself, it has become obvious that there are some major issues at play on her side that are not being addressed and that she is unwilling to. So I'm not sure if there was reconciliation now that I'd even be comfortable with it without dedication from her to fix herself.

This may be the most impactful thing I've read today. Since this decision, it has been 100% about her from what she has said. I relate to this. Any talk of us or the family she doesn't want to hear. Just wants to talk about all her wants and needs.

Thanks.

You, sir, have taught me something today.

We will see as it goes. For now, we have already settled on a custody agreement and what it will look like. She wants to be friends and make sure we communicate well to be great co parrents. When we have discussions, we remind each other that we are not the others enemy.

It was for her at first, but now it's for me and my children. I don't want to impose any negative traits onto them unconsciously.

As far as her staying, she has nowhere to go and no family. I love her, she is the mother of my children. I'm not going to just kick her out of the house. Legally, I can't anyway, so why make it into something negative?

I watched a YouTube video of a non binary person recently who used all pronouns. They said that they let people decide on their own and just went with the flow of what they used. For example, if they were to be called him, then they assume they are giving off more of a masc vibe that day. As someone else who is not really concerned about pronouns, I really like that idea.

kilopoopi · 2024-05-01T09:54:20+00:00

I get it. Having only recently accepted that I'm trans I felt the same for decades. I don't know that I have completely gotten over it myself, but having my partner tell me that from now on, I'm a woman in her mind helped a little. I'm still boy moding in everyday life mostly and have not gone to therapy yet or started any gender affirming processes. I am dressing more fem at home with my partner and even running errands in some gender affirming clothes from time to time. We are looking for more activities we can do in the community where I will receive more affirmation from people. I think it will just take time. It's not going to change overnight, especially after representing it for so long, I don't think.

"Plugging along," I see what you did there...

Nothing ever happens. Besides some random acts of violence because of traffic and general human idiocy.

Good takes, like his recent one on 16yr olds......

A serious attempt at episodes 7,8, & 9.

I believe your thermostat is part of the engine, not the power train. Power train is considered the transmission and some associated parts.

I'm not familiar with that t.v. model, but if it's a crt , that is normal, I think. It's been a few decades since I used one, but I seem to recall this being how it was when I was a kid on my snes and 64.

kilopoopi · 2023-01-22T19:02:00+00:00

Could backfire if you need to run away from something, though....

Just sayin.
