DarkShadow73 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 Iirc you only need to change the blue one that is on the axle of the selector M motor (really going by memory here). I don't know for sure why this topic suggests an old gray over a tan pin, since they are technically the same. I modded this part of the model as well since it didn't work properly, but I think I went with the different gear ratio that one of the poster's mentioned to provide more torque for the switch motor. Yeah, when I originally started this topic in 2011, I did see the reply about changing the gear ratio, and honestly Jurgen's Ultimate 8043 did this, but I didn't have enough parts to create the whole in depth modding he had done with the model. I honestly don't see a difference in old light gray pins and the newer tan pins either, they seem to operate the same way, frictionless. I did change the bucket boom and created the complicated remote control setup, but parts shortage left me unable to build his entire modification. I'm still in the dark, even with your saying it applies to just one M-motor? In my post today a couple above this one, I mentioned a couple of pages for that assembly and thought I would change just the 2 blue pins with the gray ones(I have tons of tan as well). I just don't know if you change both pins and it solves the problem, or just one or the other. I could build the model up to that point, I mainly just took it apart as it was superdirty and I hadn't played with in years, and I washed and dried all the major parts and scrubbed the PF elements and LA's. But, I remembered how much trouble I had with the clutch switching, it would go to the neutral position, then I had to hit the lever again for it to engage into the opposite clutch gears. I may have put the gears on too tight when I originally built it, I tend to leave more play with models since then. I also thought it might the 2 yellow knob wheels on the other side of the model that have to turn to switch back and forth betw functions. Still confused... Quote
Lukaz Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Clutch issues can be resolved by changing the gear ratio (see link). I've just bought a 2nd hand set, and this helped me. That is why I'm positing to this old thread. might just help somebody else... Edited February 19, 2023 by Lukaz Quote
