Status: offline 		Ahh. I think I've just chewed up my spur gear. I was testing some changes just doing straight runs in the car park at work during lunch. I was running fine until It started making this chunk chunk noise.. stopped and checked. I can turn the spur one way almost all the way until a point, it stops... then I turn it almost all the way the other way and it jams at about the same place. Looks like a new one is in order.

Lesson 1:
Don't run it in a carpark with lots of small rocks. I was afraid of the belts, but the spur got bitten...

Thank goodness it wasn't the diff though. phew.

Off to the LHS to get some more parts... at least this part is fun.

Status: offline 		just wondering what you guys do for basic maintenence, what do you check ect?

after a race, I strip the the wheels and axles clean the grease of the axles and replace with new grease, (the old grease usually has carpet fluff and crap on it, check belts for wear & tension, and basically clean the car, check toe ins are correctand that the wireing is ok and that no screws have come loose.

just wondering what you guys do, and do you have set times for changing stuff like suspension oil ect, or do you do that on a regular basis, ie after every racing session?

I really love that place. (the LHS that is) I could just about live there
