Just got another Cen FF ATX Buggy... had a crash apparently and broke the spur gears the advert said...
Well after taking aprt, I realise the spur gears are shot, also the engine held in with 1 screw.
After removing bearings, replacing spurs and a general check around everything looked good.
Put back together but found the car would rol forard fine but if you moved it backwards by hand it would sound horrible.. Turned everything on and the servo was going mad..
So I replaced the engine with my spare and also the servo with a new unit and was nice and smooth...
Got the car started but with my spare engine needing a set up I could run it around the garden slowly...
Also, My spare car was ball raced.. Now how many bearings does this include? Just wheel bearings?
Thanks
Andy

Well I'm not to sure what your Question is; But the fun factor needs 8 5x11x4 bearings for the wheels and 2 for each dif. You will need 12 all together for the car.

Sounds like your batteries are running low. If you have not already purchase a NIMH 5 cell rechargable reciever pack, we recommend using these. They last much longer that AA batteries and provide more voltage, making your servo's a bit quicker.
