tracker manual??

[longboardnj]

wanted to see an online manual of the kyosho tracker.. any out there ?? i looked and didnt find.. wanted to find out a few things ..what is the corect rear axle. 1 side is tapered to push on metal hex like ultima . the other side has a pin going threw it with a plastic hex.. and what sizes are the bearings. i think same size as ultima,but im not sure. any help will be great..

[Mr. ED]

the bearings in the rear carrier are 10x5 (right: like the ultima)
I don't know for sure which is right for the tracker, but the ccrosspin and plastic hex is the prefeered one to go with if you plan on running.
Duratrax st-15 rear axles are direct replacements, cheap and available from tower hobbies. They are pretty cool but you need the respective hexes with them. instead of a tapered end or crosspin they have a flat on which the hex is fixed like a motorpinion.
If you want the old style tapered axle and alu hex I 'd be happy toffer you both for say 7$ plus shipping? Not new but in exceleent state for a runner.

thanks alot for the offer. i have someone that i already talked to (not on rc10talk)that may be alble to get me the ultima part but if not whats shipping to n.j 07927 usa and do you have paypal? oh and do you know the part# for Duratrax st-15 rear axles and what plastic hexs i could use??? i tryed to find the parts but just found i think "ext" parts that say they dont work with st-15 ..

[Mr. ED]

I have to take a bit of a guess but probably about 5euro to ship in a simple envelope? And yes I do have paypal.

these are the axles

and these are the hexes that fit them (not plastic)

Sorry my description was a bit off, but the parts should be good I think.
what are those ext parts?

[longboardnj]

heres the parts i wanted to use but they would need a kyosho sized thin hex for pin(where can i find those) http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=001119688&I=LXSWW3&P=K do you think they will work?? i dont know sizing of kyosho stuff . im really liking this truck.. it looks like (not sure someone let me know) the tracker and outrage are ultimas with different chassis and plastic shock towers .. oh and thanks for your help

[Mr. ED]

nope , definitely no good: these step down from the 5mm (I think) to an imperial size and are for wheels which go direct on the crosspin.
You could use these to put rc10T wheels on it maybe (read: very very maybe)
The tracker, ST-15 and outrage and a couple more cars are all indeed basedof the ultima to a great extend.

[longboardnj]

oooh.. do you think the st 15 bulkhead will work http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXWZ18&P=Z plus what about the other suspension parts the guy that may be geting me the parts, will be just giving me a ultima with a bad top plate and bad bulkhead

[Mr. ED]

Yes, absolutely sure, it will work

[longboardnj]

good thanks

At some point and time, Kyosho changed the design from the tapered to the pinned axle. Not sure if it was just the design or a change in the type of metal, but the pinned version was weak compared to the tapered version.

It was a pain to break off those hexes from the tapered axle, but it worked. It was probably a cost thing. Molding a plastic hex was probably a lot cheaper than having the same part machined.

If you find a manual for the tracker, please post a link. I'm trying to build an outrage ST and I'm having problems with the rear plastic link (replaces the rear tierod). I was under the impression that they were the same length as the front, but it looks like they need to be longer.

[longboardnj]

they are different sizes maybe try part # sm31

[highwayracer]

Thanks for the info....I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going crazy.

I'm at the point were I just want to make a link out of kydex

regards,
highwayracer

[Mr. ED]

I think I have a bunch of those plastic links still somewhere.
Could you make a picture of the one you need (type I mean) and tell me the length you need.

If I find it in the stock clearance I have a NIB electric outrage truck I think, probably got the manual in there, was it black with green and pink decals
