^^^ Sumbody needs to buy this

R/CNutz

Your going to have a tuff time since the turmoil is discontinued....

youwish16

the easiest thing to do would be to ebay it

howard369

If it was new, you probably could get what your looking for it. I would buy it in a minute. However, considering that the Turmoil has been discontinued and the fear of obtaining parts will soon become more difficult, it is a buyers market. In otherwords, there are more sellers out there then buyers. I would buy it and use it for parts. I would be willing to pay $ 50 delivered to FL. If interested PM me.

R/CNutz

On my last teardown on sunday. I stripped it down to the very last bolt and rebuilt it. All new fluids, bearings, seals. I put all the pro parts on it. New wheels and tires, body, and wing. I stripped the anodizing off of all the parts....

r/cnutz what kind of tires r they, I race on hard dirt what do u think they would do. I also put a pro chassis in my sons mayhem rtr and everything fit, but its a little wider on the starter box.

Can anyone help me with this it was fine at first but I had to change the servo arm and then this started. I changed the servo to top instead of laying down and still is binding somewhere.

what servo is that? it looks like its hardly turning. i kinda have the same problem, i thought it was just my servo being weak.

try loosing some of the screws in the front end and see what happens.

Make sure your pillowballs aren't too tight. The first time I swapped wheels I noticed the screws were "loose"; so I tighted them up. End result: almost no steering.

westphill24

Its the hitec 5645 and it worked great before so I dont think it can be that. I loosened up the screws, not sure which ones pillow balls are, and it worked a little and thats why you see the travel that I do get. If I loosen anymore the screws will be poking out. I think Im just going to have to take everything apart and put it back together to be sure.

Another question anyone know where to get 4x20 screws? I lost one because I didnt tighten my screws when I first got it and cant find them anywhere.

Pull the bushings out of the bellcrank and replace them with 6x10 avid bearings and losen up some screws to see what screw is binding up, after you find out what screws are binding up, be sure to locktight the crap out of all the screws, then on the set screw on your front lower A-arm screw it down a little to releave the binding on the tie rod ends, that how i fixed my steering problems. I have had my turmoil for 6 months now and have raced 2 races great buggy!

Here are some pictures of my Turmoil some on the the race track and some of my new engine set up! Enjoy!

If you take the wheel off you'll see two steel plates: one on the top and bottom. Each plate has two small screws holding it in. You should be able to move the plate around a small amount. If you can't, then that is what is binding your steering.

westphill24

Would that happen out the blue? I never had that problem then one day I tried to turn and the steering bell crank area just pushes the spring sown while the upper part that is connected to the servo arm seperates from the bottom. I tried to show that in the vid but that area was to dark.

mthird

If you didn't do it intentionally, then probably not. Perhaps something (like dirt) got inside the ball? One of my pillow balls is slightly scuffed and doesn't turn as easily inside the socket. I'm getting ready to tear down my buggy to replace the shock oils. I'll try to take some pictures and post later today.

westphill24

k thanks. Ill probably tear mine down tommorow.

tyro

I guess this tread is dead already.

westphill24

Only to some. I still have mine and Ill probably try to race it next summer. I talked to someone at Horizon and he said most likely theyll be coming out with something new but he hadnt heard anything. It is Sportwerks there not the best at promotion.lol

mthird

I still have mine and expect to race it this weekend. I'll probably replace it next season for the Z01B, D8, or MP9.

westphill24

MP9 Sheeeeeeeesh mthird=$$$$$$ Nah just kidding. I want to race truggy and buggy next year and I want either the X2 or the RC8 so if I have the extra $ Ill get a new buggy if not good ol' turmoil. Im a rookie so Id rather crash and break this then something I paid 600 for.
