About:

This is how I went about Building a Scale Trail Truck using parts of other R/C cars and trucks. Many of these parts come from the ECX 1/18 Temper which is the same as the Redcat Racing Everest 16. From these trucks I built something very similar to the ECX Barrage, HSP and the RGT line of trucks (Like the Rock Crusier). So if you're interested in building your own 1/10 or 1/12 Rock Crawler or Scale Trail Truck, read on.

Rebuilding the differentials (ecx temper/redcat everest 16)

So I got my new aluminum differentials in so I tore apart the front and rear axles and installed them.
I figured it was a good time to clean up the axles and lube them up good.

The first thing I noticed when I got the Solid Aluminum Spools was that the screws weren't in all the way. So I took them apart and put them back together with a little Loctite.

Then I packed the whole thing up with Mobil One synthetic grease.

Aluminum Rear Axle Lockout Kit



Hot Racing ECX 1/18 Temper Aluminum Rear Axle Lockout Kit ETE2206


Got these today! They should help stop the wobble in the rear and make the rear end look better without all the extra linkage going on back there!
