This is PIG
PIG is in need of a tear down and rebuild, PIG has been having dog bone problems for a little while I have been ignoring lol
Being PIG's axles were from a Goliath Pro I figured I might be looking for new axles to start with but figured I might as well see what 2 hard months on these axles had done for damage considering the gears in it are plastic and I have showed the axles no mercy.
Well figured out what the clicking was in the front end lol
I had thought one end of the pins had broken off not the pins had managed to move in the dog bone.
I peaned the center of the pins and pressed them back in and they seem nice and tight.
I will put these dog bones in the rear with the pins that had moved in the center cups so they wont see any angled action.
this pic shows one fixed
Well this is the first time I have had these axles apart since I received the PTI Goliath new so wasn't sure what I would find but was pleasantly surprised to find the gears look just like new even tho there wasn't a speck of grease in there.
Well I serviced the shocks they were binding and not smooth at all, but are working nice and smooth now.
The front output shafts took the messed up dog bone ends hard but will work fine in the rear where they will stay in one position and should be just a little sloppy but should be no problem back there lol
After servicing the bearings it was time to pack that front gear box with some grease and put it back together.
This will end up being the rear axle I'm also going to flip the axles to get a little more axle clearance.
Now this confused me the front axle had not one bit of grease in it but when I opened the rear axle ???????? Grease ???? where that come from???
I know for a fact these axles have never been opened so whats up with that??
well cleaned the tires, and rims so they would be nice and sticky for the incline board when I get it all back together.
I get a kick out of how big the memory foams are lol
All clean and back together nice and sticky
Ok back to putting it together lol
Servo all mounted back up, raised it up a little with some ball end balls and put a riser on the pivot arm end to smooth out the steering a little
New front end formally rear end al mounted in, with the newly serviced front shocks every thing is moving nice and smooth now.
This is where I'm at on it now I'll update more tomorrow I want to take out the tranny and go over it also since I haven't had it apart since I received it in trade.
More tomorrow.
