well i just got home from work and there was a box waitin for me lol. i got all tires on and boy do they have a lot of play. they dont spin straight at all. i mean the back 2 are not bad but the front 2 are not lookin so good im getin some bad wheel wobble . any ideas how i can fix this?there is another issuse im having . i took the shock spring spacers off and now the shock springs dont seem to b long enough. i mean when the truck sits normal it is all comprassed down but when i lift the truck up the spring is not goin all the way down there is a gap. when i put the spacers back on it closed the gap could this be a issue?

my wheels wobble also. it's the foams in the tires, that's what's giving you the wobble. they aren't perfectly straight in there. i'll take a look at mine and take the shock spacers off and take a look at that gap you are talking about. i havent taken the spacers off of mine yet. i installed the big block in mine yesterday, i just have to get a pipe that is not really long so it doesn't rub the tire.

1mtx1

yea i thought it was cuz of the foam as well. i got it all ready i just need some fuel. i took a few pics i will up load them . there is one of the gap im talkin about as long as the truck is siting down u will not see it. i just think if u hit a few bump it will come lose. it said at one point the high speed should 2 1/4 then 2 1/2 . mine has come a little befor 2 1/2 and for brake in it says it needs to b 2 1/2 then u back it off 1/4 a turn. should i back it off a tad befor i start the truck. i never heard of such a thing

1mtx1

here is a few pics



and here is a pic of the high speed how it came.

Ok, will order the diffs in the next few days or so after taking them apart even more to be certain. Any tips for the shimming?

1mtx1

did this happen right away or did it take some to happen? what made u think there was a issue ? and as far as tips you will have to do some cuting .

MiniMGT3.0

I think it was when I jumped then I didn't cut the throttle. I have taken it apart looked it then tighten up the loose screws and things then started it to see if it was just a matter of a few loose screws. I think that after I jumped it, it only had a bit more life in them, the drive shaft not connecting and clicking started almost immediately. .



Cheers

i wana thank every one for there help at this time im still waiting for my fail safe and hump pack to come. its been kinda cold so i would of never been able to take my new truck out. I been tryin to see if i can get the wheels to stop wobble but i cant. i wana know if i run the truck like this will i run in to any issues? At this time i dont have any extra money to spend another 50.00+

Man,I remember when my truck was all clean and new.
I have since installed the New Era BB kit ect...

^^^ looks real nice, any wheel wobble with your tires? if so will it really b a issue. for the most part im just gona keep it stock. i like the remote that comes with it so the electronics will stay for now. i did mess with the steering sen thing. its not the knob one but the dial one. it put it half way for now

MiniMGT3.0

Like to say the same, thanks for all the help can't do it without the more knowledgeable fellers out there.

montesupra, what pipe and header are you running on your mini with the big block in it?

jermainezey

i have a big block .21 in my mini mgt 3.0

jermainezey

i know this do have nothing to do with rc but i just order a brand new computer for a very low price here the site [link=http://jandscomputer.webs.com/apps/webstore/]cheap computers[/link]cheap computers[/link] they have desk top and lap tops

montesupra

redfox03, I use the Savage XL header/pipe,it works well for me.

1mtx1,I have very little wobble.Its my fault though,I put my factory tires on different rims.I have to look at the tread on the tires to notice.
I dont think the wobble will effect anything,unless its some crazy wobble.

jermainezey

make sure your wheels are on the hubs all the way make sure your wheels are nice and tight , make sure u wheels are balance as well, if all thoses things check then give team ae a call they replace any thing on the truck for the 1st 90 days ,most time u just have to send in the bad part and they ship u new replacement to u free of charge

1mtx1

thank you i will look over the truck some more. if i do go head and run the truck with the wobble would i run in to some issues? i been rolling it across the floor and it rolls straight.

jermainezey

the things have a lil wobble u got to rember that its a toy and its not 100 per cent wobble free

1mtx1

yea i just think mine is kinda bad. i had to day off and i spent some time getin the truck ready . After tryin to mount the tires 6 diff times i had my friend come over and take a look. we both seen the drive train wobble . this was up front and in the rear. i rolled the truck around and u can see this i just dont wana run in to any issues.

CranKitUP

is it the tires that wobbles or the axial that the wheel is attached to? On my Mini all 4 wheels feel as if the nuts are loose and they have a lil play when i move them but they are perfectly fine.
If thats what u are experiencing u have nothing to worry about [8D]

1mtx1

well they both wobble. when i spin the axials they have some wobble to them. when i put the tires on they would wobble as well. there is alot of play i can move the tires around alot. every othere truck i have had i would get some play like this but not as bad wheel wobble. is it ok to drive it like this? when i push it on the ground it seams to roll in a straight line with no issue

CranKitUP

yeah.... even the guy at my LHS notice the wobble and asked if they were on correctly. I guess the wheels do have alot of play in them...but since the Mini was my first truck, i didn't notice it that much. Ive had no issues with them pertaining to the wobble.

1mtx1

i guess i can just try it out. i was lookin at new tires and good thing i did not spend the money. it just sucks cuz it new and and everyone is like its such a great truck etc etc.

CranKitUP

It is a great truck!
Ive abused my mini (with my wobbly wheels) going on 3 years now and i have had no problems with axials or wheels due to the wobble. As u drive it, u wont notice it and it wont be a problem.

1mtx1

thanks man , i was just getin nervous about buyin this truck. i had a tmaxx and i really did not like it. i went threw some gears right off the bat. im sure it will drive a straight line . i will take some videos over the next few weeks and i will let u guys see. its gona snow in the next few days. im out on long island and im wana get this truck up and goin . my friend was told me to do one tank at a time if its cold and just take me time with the brake in. hmm
